Pub day for How to Fake a Haunting is a little over four months away, so I’ll be posting some fun early praise for the novel as well as giveaways, preorder campaigns, and reviews as October 7th creeps ever closer!

If you feel a desire for beautiful sentences and (justified) feminine rage, I highly recommend this one: When Women Were Dragons.
It’s sweet yet politically charged and scratches an itch.

House Republicans passed their bill that’d rip health insurance from millions and take food assistance away from millions including households with kids as young as 7 in the largest Medicaid and SNAP cuts in history - while giving giant tax cuts to the rich.
Thread on the next steps of the process.

HELLO! Times, they are a dire, so forgive my gentle interruption where I ask that if you’ve read STAIRCASE IN THE WOODS — or any book by any author! — it’d be great if you left a review of it somewhere. And tell friends! Tell family! Tell the whole internet! Tell a random bird! Birds like books too.

Happiest Book Birthday to @chuckwendig.bsky.social's The Staircase in the Woods! 🖤 I didn't let Vesper read it because it is too scary for her but she is disconcerted anyway. Also this book is excellent.

Dear @amyklobuchar.com and @smith.senate.gov,
When this comes up for a vote, maybe don't give your support to the lady who lied on her resume and regularly misrepresents her credentials.

Trump's nominee for surgeon general is a Fox News contributor who has been lying about her credentials. It seems her medical degree is from some shady Caribbean school.
