So, Um. This Happened. Thank You!
On Saturday night, I was blown away when I was awarded the beautiful Bram Stoker Award for my story Little Dead Red. Little Dead Red is probably the darkest thing I’ve written. It’s a tale about little girls, their dead-inside mothers, and the Wolves of the world. It’s a tale of love and justice. It’s a difficult read because it isn’t … Read More

After the official Bram Stoker Awards nomination ballots were announced, I was contacted and asked to give an interview as an official nominee. (I’m a nominee! Yay!) The awards are later this week and they didn’t have time to run the interview series, but I’m allowed to put my interview up here. Please take a second to read some of … Read More

They fill us with love or hate or guilt or horror or remorse. We take care of them or they take care of us. Perhaps we have never met them. Perhaps we like it … Read More
Becoming Mob, Judge, Jury, and Executioner
The horror world has been a mess lately, and I mostly try to stay out of it. I want to help where I can, lend support to those I love, and lift my skirts above the spilled blood we’re all wading through. But things are reaching a fever pitch and I need to say something. Be careful. Be careful of … Read More
Meet Bunniculas Cage!
He is sweet and tiny, and we love him. Did I mention we love him? We love him. Even Thug Bunny, who hates everything and everyone, loves him. It’s the sweetest thing. Welcome to the family, little guy.

Pimp A Friend Friday: Yarn Baby
I went to school with an intelligent, quirky, AWESOME girl named Shannon. You definitely want her on your robot apocalypse team. Shannon created a super cool business where she spins and dyes her own yarn. It’s amazing! I bought this bundle of yarn and it’s so soft. I’m hoping to crochet a simple shawl out of it. Shannon is good … Read More
