For the folks who keep asking if I'll be dressing up this October 😛 Even if I'm attending an event just for fun, I'll still be wearing a themed outfit. This year, the theme is Classic Halloween. You won't know what I'll be wearing until it happens, but I can give you a little sneak peek...

The downside to being super busy in October is less writing time. The upside is that I typically have more admin work as a result - and I put on horror movies in the background when I do admin work. So I'm about to watch A LOT of movies.

I'm bringing the party to @canconsffh.bsky.social this year 👻 (well, one of the parties) At the Spooky Social, there will be chilling ice breakers, chaotic conversation topics, ghastly games, and spirits. #literaryconvention #horrorauthors #horrorreaders #horrorfans #ottawaevents

Ottawa Comiccon this weekend! Come see me at booth 2217 in the Artist Alley. I have some... interesting outfits planned for the weekend thanks to shenanigans with another vendor (Saturday is going to be the showstopper look, of course) 😈

The Ottawa horror community is - and I can’t stress this enough - the fucking best. I love my fellow freaks so so much 🥰

It's WILD that even after 5 yrs published & 3 yrs as a full-time author, there're STILL people in my life who think I sit around doing nothing all day. I don't even get to sit around writing all day - I'm trying to run a business & deal with non-writing extras that come with being self published

TBH there really wasn't any writing this month. But there really wasn't any rest either 😅 stephanieanneauthor.ca/is-it-septem... #blogpost #horrorauthor #indieauthor #writingupdate

Prescription: A Flasher Story - Stephanie Anne, Canadian Horror Author

I've got a market during the day and an Ottawa Horror Club meet up at night. Do I have a mini outfit change planned? You're damn right I do 😉

Stephanie Anne Author @stephanneauthor.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

So far this week I’ve gotten to handle: - a mini flame thrower - power tools - a stop sign - a microphone I’ll try not to let all this power go to my head 😈

Started the morning by getting a free scone! But I also started the morning by smelling the most rancid garbage juice. So… mixed bag today? Not sure if this is a good or bad omen 😅

The use of AI in this year's shark week programming and social media has been really disturbing - especially coming from people who are supposed to be promoting conservation 😑

Sure, I've spent a lot of my time working on Skull Daddy II this month, but we all know that Shark Week has been my other priority. stephanieanneauthor.ca/skulls-shark... #blogpost #writingupdate #indieauthor #horrorauthor #writing

If you had told the me of 10 years ago that I would be planning events multiple times a year I would’ve been sceptical. If you had told the me of 20 years ago, I would have been throwing up out of fear. If you had told me of 30 years ago… I was five. IDK I might’ve been cool with it.
