Had a book signing at Bookmarks bookstore in Midland, MI. My Krampus action figure must have brought me luck… been a good sales day!

The weekend! Tomorrow I’ll be signing books at Bookmarks in downtown Midland, MI as part of the “Cookie Crawl”

Since I’ll be signing #horrorbooks, I’m bringing #krampus with me, the punisher of naughty children!

So far, it’s crawling, but I like the opening paragraph!

If anyone enjoys signed, physical books, you could get my 2-book #gothic #horror series (The Dance of Rotten Sticks + Blood of the Witness Tree) from me for $35, which includes shipping. You'd just need to have Venmo.

#booksky 💙📚 #horrorbook

Just comment, and we can work out the details.

My #horror novel, Blood of the Witness Tree, is set in the Pigeon River Forest. The village of Vanderbilt, MI calls itself the "gateway" to the forest.

I mention Vanderbilt often in the #book, and now copies of my novel are for sale in the Mill Street Diner in Vanderbilt!

Kinda cool, #booksky 💙📚

Pulling into the parking lot and seeing this sign made my day!

#writingcommunity

I’ll be discussing the elements of #gothic #horror and then reading from my new #horrorbook, Blood of the Witness Tree.

Get yours, #booksky 💙📚

I hate to bring out these tactics, #booksky 💙📚, but if I don’t get at least one kindle sale (just $2.99!) for Blood of the Witness Tree today, I am taking his favorite pillow from his kennel and replacing it with sheets of 20-grit sandpaper.

Can you live with that?

The dread of waiting to see if anyone will show up for a library reading…

Hey #booksky 💙📚, I’m at the Charlotte, MI Oddities/ #horror Festival. The pic shows that the weather is perfect. Hoping to find more #readers for The Dance of Rotten Sticks!

Hey, #booksky 💙📚, if you're thinking of getting my #book, Blood of the Witness Tree (nice thinking, btw!), you may want to pick up the first book, The Dance of Rotten Sticks.

#horrorbook #horror

Both can stand alone, but they read well as a series.

Hey #booksky 💙📚 if you’re looking for a #spooky read, I’d be obliged if you’d consider my recently released Blood of the Witness Tree. Though a sequel, it can be read without having read the first.

Support a small press? (Enjoy Witness Tree pic!)

Hey #booksky 💙📚 I’m here in the Pigeon River Forest where my #horrorbook takes place. In it Isaac talks to a rebellious young woman while overlooking Town Corner Lake. Here’s a pic of that lake…and maybe even the stump where Isaac sat.

Pick up a copy! I’d be honored!

The paper towel socks kind of held up.

Forgot my socks and need to run my one miler.

Figure paper towel works as socks.

The #flyfishing didn't go so hot (fish here and there, but pretty low activity. I did catch a 9-inch brook trout)

When we were done, we stopped at an elk viewing area and saw a spectacular bull elk. (sorry, low quality photo...could only zoom so much)

#booksky

Reminded me of my book's cover!

Things are coming together with the sequel to my #gothic #horror novel, The Dance of Rotten Sticks. Please enjoy this cover reveal!

With the sequel getting closer to release, I can always use more #BookSky #readers.

I'd be honored if you took a chance!

Heading to the Pigeon River Forest in #Michigan for some #flyfishing, and thought I'd do a cover reveal for the sequel to my book, The Dance of Rotten Sticks.

Showed up to my signing only to find out that it’s tomorrow 🤦🏼‍♂️! The store owner said, “Stay. See what happens.” Sold 3 books in first hour, so already worth it!

#booksky #horrorbook

And, I’ll officially be back tomorrow. Can’t get to Midland, #Michigan?
