It’s my favorite holiday of them all, Halloween! Strangely, I’m not doing anything particularly Halloween-y today. Though there will probably be some candy consumed. Okay, there will definitely be some candy consumed. This is also the beginning of my final vacation/trip this month/year, as we’re off to our annual gaming convention in Portland. Happy Halloween […]

If you’re looking for something creepy to read on Halloween, have you considered Camp Haunt? It’s one of the creepier things I’ve written, an epistolary serial of a haunted summer camp. Here’s the description: Camp Fairmarsh, founded in 1883, has a long tradition of giving teenage girls a residential camp experience. Girls spend eight weeks swimming, […]

One of Jeremy’s running jokes is saying “I don’t know what I had for dinner last night, but I can remember [insert random bit of trivia].” And it’s true, too. He has a huge amount of random stuff packed into his brain. It’s a valuable thing for writers to know a lot of random stuff, […]

November is still almost a week a way, but not quite. So it’s time for November’s writing prompts. The prompts this month are taken from November holidays, words associated with autumn and the month of November, and words derived from the word “November.” As always, feel free to interpret the words in the way you […]

It’s six short stories with a darker bent to them, including stories featuring witches, ghouls, ghosts, elder gods, psychics, and creepy muses, all with female protagonists. From the description on Amazon: […]

I used to be a big fan of Supernatural, but over time, I got tired of the same old same old that the show revolves around. If you’re like me, you owe it to yourself to check out Bones and Bourbon by Dorian Graves, for a pair of supernaturally inclined brothers with family issues and more. I’ve […]

When I first published The Trouble with the Tick-Tock Tabby, I did my own cover. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the best plan, as it didn’t look good when I got a proof copy of the print book. So I made a plan to have an artist re-do the cover later. That’s finally happened. The inestimable Leigh Legler […]

I was recently talking with another author about Bookstagramming, which neither of us had heard of. I did a little bit of research and found this article, which suggests that it’s a thing that I already do sometimes: take a picture of what I’m reading and post to Instagram about it. It’s apparently not as […]

Okay, this isn’t necessarily the spookiest of photos, but you could definitely take this photo prompt in a spooky direction. You could also make it seem like you’re going in a spooky direction but then do something entirely different. Either way, or any other way that your mind wants to take this phrase, I think […]

I’ll be attending GeekGirlCon on October 27th and 28th as part of DefCon One Publishing, but Razorgirl Press, which publishes my Brass & Glass series, will also be on hand. Our booths don’t appear to be near each other on the preliminary map, but perhaps I’ll pop over to their booth to sign for a little while. […]
