My first book, up for pre-order now! I hope if you decide to check it out that you enjoy it! A variety of tales to satiate your horror taste buds. It's pulpy, it's funny, it's tragic, It's creepy, and at times, it's campy. Thank you, always. x

I wear my heart on my sleeve so much all of my shirts are stained with my ire and hurts.

Nothing clever to say today as my mood is lower than low, but I am still proud of this book and it's upcoming Halloween release and would be thrilled that if you see this you consider pre-ordering. Thank you! x🎃

Why are there so many stupid people? It's like they never read a book or tried to learn about anything ever. Guess it's easier to be righteous and stupid than be informed and think critically.

who were suppose to protect and love you won't always do so. But even through all of that, life is still given to you to live it out until your story is over. Finish your story, because the ending cannot be written until you have. ❤

Sometimes I reflect on things from my past and realize it is a amazing that I am still here.
Keep going until you're no more is my motto, because life won't always be easy, nor perfect. Not everyone will help you or be there for you. People

"I'm a girl and by me that's only great
I am proud that my silhouette is curvy
That I walk with a sweet and girlish gait
With my hips kinda swivelly and swervy
With a pound and a half of cream upon my face!"
Happy Saturday! ❤

Happy Friday, Gabino and everyone!

I don't know about you, but by us the weather is finally getting that crisp autumn feel.

Whatever your weather, one of my novels will probably be the perfect pairing.

My two novellas against a starry background: THE NIGHT LIBRARY OF STERNENDACH: A VAMPIRE OPERA IN VERSE, and THE GLASS GARDEN. The first has batwings, fangs, and a book on the cover. The other has white letters on a kaleidoscope image.

is my debut selling well? I’m told it’s steady. obvious joke aside, I’m thrilled to see the ratings and review numbers this far on Goodreads. “..stands out as the most original ghost story I’ve ever enjoyed…” -GRR / WTDCD is the spooky season book you didn’t know you needed. Thx @gabino.bsky.social

Thanks, Gabino!!
My second novel, Pyres, dropped last Friday, and people are loving it so far. So, I'd be so happy for its brand of burning rage to find its way into more hands.

It also got this crazily wonderful blurb from Lee Murray🔥🔥🔥

Ebook and paperback copies of Pyres with a blurb from award-winning author Lee Murray and a burning match in the background

Thanks for hosting, Gree!
My recent release is Harrowfield, a quiet folk horror set in the England/Wales border land known as the Marches.

The past is still very much in the present.
