One of my favorite memories was getting out of the July heat & into theaters to watch horror movies.
This week, I want to highlight the novelizations of some great horror movies that made even better books!

The studio hired a different writer for each book. I had hoped to do all 3. I felt like mine was well-received by fans and critics, so I'm not sure what played into their decision.

Probably best if you don't come back

The post-apocalypse where money will have no value? fElon is in big trouble

Also, Philadelphia is about as BLUE as a city can get

Just a reminder: last time the Eagles won the Super Bowl (2018) they declined the ceremonial visit to Trump's white house. And the have a lot of fans in Blue NJ

For a letter from a law firm, it comes across as less than professional

Only 1 more loss is a lot to ask

Welcome! Horror author and long-time fan here

No. That's like rating a movie based on the trailer

Any release date news?

Cool! Where was this taken?

TUE, I received edited manuscript of my NDA movie novelization from my editor. Reviewed, updated and submitted on WED. Now it goes to licensor for approval and any revision notes.

Would have been nice to get reasons for the rejections, especially if they say they are open to new clients vs not taking new clients.

Were they all form rejections? Or did you get some helpful feedback?

Thanks for the info!

How did she get involved in that? My wife was an eagle nest monitor and is always photographing local hawks. And our local owl. She'd be interested in doing that.

I've cut back usage about 90%. Mainly go there for my sports teams when they are playing. Or to check trending topics, which is less useful there now. Things I don't get from other social media sources yet.

Was that one of the Chris Carter birthday Easter eggs?

I have more books on hold and checked out than I can read in the allotted time, especially new releases. But I keep plugging away

They misspelled Trump

Agreed!

By the same token, I don't need it to be Facebook-lite. The only thing I really miss from Twitter is trending topics. And I don't get that in FB, threads or blue sky

Always wanted a DS9 station ornament!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

For the 7th time in my 10 full years of running, I hit my major milestone of 1,000 miles. 1,000.94 after today's run.
