Anyone who knows how to WordPress please help me, but I've published a short story to coincide with the release of my new novel at garrickblake.com/elementor-712/

No spoilers.

I donโ€™t know who needs to hear this but my cats apparently took a vote and decided to drag the recycling all over the house. At times loudly and at others silently so that I can be surprised by grocery bags in the laundry and cans in the dark hallway.

I doubt this vote was a local one. Good luck.

Almost enough nudity and apparently available now?

Werewolves and ghosts and Jewish mythology and snark and, most importantly, brunch.
In Idaho.

October 6th! Third volume in the Lawrence Miller Ghost Stories series.
Jewish mysticism? Yes.
Werewolves? Also, yes.
Frontier brunch? So. Much. Yes.

No idea what else anyone could possibly want in a horror/comedy novel.

Iโ€™m at a Zydeco bar in Louisiana and Iโ€™ve been hosting people all weekend for what is, objectively, a fan-fucking-tastic weekend for everyone involved. But I miss my BlueSky people.
Iโ€™m 23,000 words into my fourth horror novel and Iโ€™ll get back to work tomorrow night. Pinkie swear.

There's still time to catch up on the Lawrence Miller Ghost Stories series before the third book releases next month!

The actual term is "gas lamping" and everyone thinks you are crazy when you say it incorrectly.

"The other ones were good but this one is the best." - my Mom

I'm from Texas but currently in very rural Louisiana and I write modern paranormal investigation books with regional ghost stories throughout. #HorrorWritersChat

My mom is still reading my early copy of the book which will be out October 6th and I am still posting her reviews as I get them:

"Iโ€™m at chapter 37. This may be the best one yet. Love the werewolves and golem.
Other than grocery run, Iโ€™ve been reading!! Just stopped for wine๐Ÿ˜‚"

My mom is reading an author copy of my upcoming book so I will be sharing her reviews as I get them, unedited:

"I love the new bookโ€” like the Austin book, it reads just like you talk๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ" - Garrick's mom

The Austin book is Echoes of Austin and it is available now.

This is my first time getting author copies but you can get the real thing October 6th in ebook or paperback!

I gave my first copy to my mom and her review will be posted here as soon as I have it.

Either way, itโ€™s an excellent time to catch up on the Lawrence Miller Ghost Stories series.

So thereโ€™s a horror trilogy available on the Amazons but holy crap you could find these books anywhere.
Ghosts and local drama and a protagonist who is bothered by all of it.

You should probably read this book before you read the next book in October.
Lawrence Miller Ghost Stories is available pretty much everywhere, so read it from someplace decent.
I suck at marketing.

You are very attractive.

Book marks have arrived for the first book Iโ€™m doing any marketing for in the Lawrence Miller Ghost Stories series.

If you visit www.blackpotbookshop.com they will totally sell you the second book in the Lawrence Miller Ghost Stories series. You could buy it somewhere else, but it makes sense to order a book about Louisiana ghosts and monsters from an independent local shop.

It's out and it is available on Amazon and hopefully other places. Please let me know if you'd like a review copy.

I tell new hires to never give a half-assed job when a quarter-assed job will generally get people to stop complaining about you.
