Hubs took me to celebrate signing the contract for my second book. A little girl in Arkansas, living in poverty with an alcoholic, who told everyone she would grow up to be a writer, grew into a teenager who thought she couldn’t afford to dream. But dreams are free, and sometimes they come true. ♥️

First-time watch of THE BAD SEED (1956) last night. WOW! It did not disappoint. A stunning performance from child actor Patty McCormack as Rhoda and, I believe, the first psychopathic child onscreen. Suffers one flaw: a more palatable change to the ending from the source material.

I was just there a few weeks ago. I went after my first ever book signing/event in NYC. And people actually showed up. 🥹 If you’d told this little girl in Arkansas living in a condemned trailer something like this would ever happen to her…

Meant a lot to me to see my book side-by-side with @scumbelievable.bsky.social’s incredible BLACK FLAME, via @christcooper.bsky.social. So much so, I had to share it here! 🥧 🎞️

Throwback to June with @jamieflanagan.com at the Stoker Awards. Without Jamie & others who advocate for bold indie horror creators BTS, I’M SORRY IF I SCARED YOU would never have been published. I’m so excited to see what Jamie does with the new King anthology & all they endeavor to do next. ♥️

A writer’s worst fear is no one showing up to their event. Two weeks ago I had the incredible privilege of attending a signing for BLOOD, SWEAT & QUEERS (feat. my story BLOOD AND OIL) at the LGBT Community Center in Manhattan. This was my first event in NYC ever. As you can see, people showed up! 🥹
