What I’m Working On
My debut horror novel, As Those Above Fall, drops on September 13, 2024. And it’s now available for preorder! You can order it for Kindle or hard copy. It’s almost here!
I have scheduled a book release party, partnering with a locally owned restaurant. Should be a good time! If you’re in the Colorado area, feel free to drop by for some spooktacular tapas, a tasty beverage, some vampy swag, and a signed copy of the book. I’d love to see you!
I’m also working hard on publicity for the book. So far, I’m scheduled to appear on The Dark Mind podcast with Vincent Midgard, The Jersey Ghouls podcast with Jacki and Marissa, and The Horror Realm YouTube with Travis Bruce. I will post links to those episodes as they come out.
And I’ve been writing!
My winter ghost story “Footprints in the Forest” will appear in Hauntings and Hoarfrost by Tyche Books, which will go up for preorder soon and hit shelves in January, 2025. Here’s the chilly cover!
I also just got the news that my cosmic horror short story “It Calls to Me” will be featured in an anthology…that I can’t tell you about yet! Watch my socials for a reveal.
What I’m Reading
I had the good fortune to pick up Lindsey King-Miller’s debut horror novel, The Z Word and boy howdy, I’m glad I did! It is a wild romp through the beginning of the zombie apocalypse. I didn’t know I needed an answer to the question “what if the apocalypse started while you were really horny?” but I DO. And this book is IT. Pick it up: highly recommend.
What I’m Watching
My partner and I have been watching Hacks on HBO and loving it. It’s dry, poignant, and very funny. (Yes, I do watch things other than horror!)
We also watched Longlegs in the theatre. The vibe is very cool: The Omen meets Silence of the Lambs. I didn’t think there was quite enough resolution in the reveal: the motive remained obscure, and the why of who was chosen seemed arbitrary. If you have thoughts on that, leave me a comment!
Nic Cage is deliciously creepy and his performance makes the film. Maika Monroe, who horror fans were introduced to in It Follows, also gives a solid performance as Agent Lee Harker. Also look for some fun cameos by other horror actors!
Cute Kitty!
You made it to the end! Here is Hobbes, looking regal.
Very cute kitty! I post my cats at the end of my blog posts too 😻
