So once upon a time, years and years and YEARS ago, I wrote a short story called “The Forbidden Grand.” It was published in Deadman’s Tome and I eventually forgot about it. Well, that’s not true. I remembered it but it was a really new story from a young writer and it wasn’t that great, to be honest. So. Ahem. … Read More

The Horror Writer's Podcast Interview!
This was an insanely fun interview with Zach Bohannon and J.Thorn from The Horror Writer’s Podcast. I hit it off with them immediately, and it felt like getting into a good-natured scrap with your family at the reunion.

My Darlings, May I Read You A Story?
Last night was a crazy night with SWAT going after the people two houses down. We heard megaphones and sirens and what could have been flash bombs, but the girls and I were huddled together on the bottom bunk, telling stories to distract ourselves from the fear. Because stories make everything better, and listening to a story is one of … Read More

I was invited into Madame Perry’s Salon for an interview and we had the best time! Jennifer Perry has the *most* glorious laugh, and it was such a pleasure to go on her show.

Shades and Shadows Reading: Pictures!
It was glorious. Such a beautiful, enchanting venue. I was simply charmed. It took place at the Bob Baker Marionette Theater, and it was otherworldly. The readings were beautifully done.

Teach Your Children by Scaring Them: A Podcast

We discuss Women in Horror month, breaking stereotypes, … Read More
