A random accidental tired call ended up being a great 25min chat with @thisishorror.bsky.social this morning…caught up on our respective WIPs and also found out that these books we started are roughly at the same word count and page count…roll on Friday with the next 10k swap…here we go!

Hey folks, this Wednesday the 15th, I'm the guest on @scaresshapedus.bsky.social podcast. I chatted with @awalrusdarkly.bsky.social about my novel debut THE SMALL HOURS and LET'S SCARE JESSICA TO DEATH, a formative film for me that I saw at a way too young age.

NEXT WEEK:

@bobpastorella.com of @thisishorror.bsky.social joins the show to talk about his new novel THE SMALL HOURS, and we dive into an indie vampire classic with LET'S SCARE JESSICA TO DEATH!

Went to the cinema to watch ‘The Long Walk’ with my daughter (first 15 film she’s been allowed to see) and it was exceptional, one of the best films I’ve seen in years, stayed true to the book but also gave a tonne more, acting was exceptional and Oscar worthy, there were also tears!

Ross Jeffery @rossjefferyauthor.bsky.social · 9d

Currently watching…pretty good so far!

Grab your copy today from Amazon…

Whilst there get yourself a box of tissues, you’ll need them because tears come free with Jude and Kyle’s story.

Great to see some reviews for my Juniper trilogy and that the book and story are still resonating with people… if you’ve not discovered the town of Juniper yet, I urge you to give it a go, don’t just take my word for it…take the word of the readers! 👇🏼👇🏼

Woohoo…my most deranged book yet, full of horror and Fleetwood Mac and things that go bump in the basement - a crazy owl woman and a lot of food…let’s go!

I’m pretty hard to scare, but in each of these films there was something that unnerved me…you should give them a whirl!

If a book allows you a reprieve for just a moment from world chaos, crack that spine and fall into the pages. Here’s a few writers that might take your mind to other places… @craigclevenger.bsky.social

Love it when these moments happen universe throws you a bone to show you you’re on the right path. The book I’m currently writing includes references to both Starkweather and Oswald (two random people with no connection whatsoever) - and then I read this today in The Stand. I’m on the right path!

Ross Jeffery @rossjefferyauthor.bsky.social · 28d

This was bloody fun! Hope you all enjoy the rambling conversation and feel inspired to create! Missed @bobpastorella.com though…next time buddy…next time!
