I got sad about what some folks said online today and, never being able to keep a thing to myself, wrote a blog post about it and made my friends help me:

Fun talk with @lcmarino.bsky.social on my new show, Girl Meets Gothic. Here I chat with L.C. about his Whispering House books--fantastic examples of the modern suburban gothic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rS1M...
(Also, when I am listening I apparently tilt my head back & forth like a curious labrador.)

SOH is 6 days old! Stories include "Inheritance," in which a young man must choose between the life he wants and the life he inherited--including a farm that's reincarnating itself one polaroid at a time. (Yes, there's a donkey.) www.watertowerhill.com/rebeccacuthb...

So... We watched NIGHTBREED this evening. Not what I expected, though what I expected I cannot say. My biggest gripe: What happened to the dog? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DOG.

My main character for my novel, Beth, is a tough girl. But I'm also making sure she cries sometimes, because tough girls get overwhelmed and feel sad and break down, too.

(In my head, btw, Beth looks a bit like this, though she is more rough around the edges than this gorgeous model.)
