Just spent the entire day down a rabbit-hole, researching old maps of highways and back roads of Cocke County, TN, trying to figure out the best way to drive through Newport from Morristown back in 1935 that would also intersect with Bybee. For a 2,500-word short story... 🤣🤣🤣

Very chuffed to be part of the upcoming THE RANGER'S ALMANAC, VOLUME 2. This is particularly gratifying as I got to mix horror fiction with a love of hiking and the National Parks. Also, submissions are still open for others until November 1st! rangersalmanac.org/

Great time at Anaheim Public Library's second annual SPINAL DREAD: HORROR LITERATURE & CULTURE FESTIVAL! The library was packed with attendees, the staff were wonderful, the vibe was welcoming. Fun to vend with friends, meet other authors, and I sold a ton of books! #spinaldread

Nisi Shawl dreamed up The Five Petals of Thought, with guided exercises and historical examples. I chipped in because it’s too original to lose to publishing-market caution. Find the GoFundMe page to help finish it and receive the e-book. gofund.me/144eea5a3
