YouTube video by Epiphany Ferrell I'm in Love with the Caveman

I prepared this video for the book launch of Best Microfiction 2025. It's only 2 minutes -- if you have that long, I'd love if you'd give it a listen! Actually filmed in a cave...

Fixing to get ready to dive into this beauty by @jeanirector.bsky.social That’s my favorite singer-songwriter in the background— Reader, I married him! And a water! Perfect on this hot day.

One of the worst things about the days I work in the office instead of remote: I hate running into anyone in the bathroom.
Especially if you try to have a conversation with me. I mean, really??

28,000 words. It's been slow-going. It can be hard to keep up the momentum. But I'm feeling energized!

I regularly invent new spellings and, hey, that’s almost as good.

Look what I found at a local thrift store today! Not only a great book, but also a note from the editor, Michael Knost , asking for a blurb and consideration for the Stoker Award. (The book won a Stoker Award in 2009 and a Black Quill Award.)
Also a note from an author about Genre Fest.

There s a large, concrete hippo on marketplace for $250. I do not need a large, concrete hippo, and if I spend $250 frivolously, it’d be on my next tattoo. But I would like a large, concrete hippo.

I might have poison ivy on my eyelid. Again.
That’s a mistake some people would make only once.
Not this chick!

Reading this, blown away by so many tiny stories that hold the universe. Grateful to have one here too! Book launch online Aug. 2. #microfiction #nerdinabarwithabook #flashfiction

I have a substantial tattoo of a fox on my arm. However, this is NOT my favorite place to see one. #rurallife #fox #redfox

I hope I can use some of it later—I kinda liked a scene!

I wrote two chapters last night. And I have to throw out those two chapters this morning. Sometimes I have to write it through it realize it's the wrong direction. #amwriting

I would not make it through a week in Hill House. Too many dark corners in my mind… #readhorror

#nerdinabarwithabook Cheating, I’m at home, with a watermelon daiquiri and one of the best hauntings ever written, Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House. #readhorror

Devil’s Kitchen Lake. I was way overdue! Finished writing tonight with a much clearer mind. Working on novel 2.

I just ordered an emotional support, crocheted Prince doll for my brother-in-law, who will love it, but I think I need to go outside and get away from purchase power for a minute.

If I had found Poe first when I was older, maybe I’d have immediately identified the unreliability of the narrator in The Tell-Tale Heart. As it was, I’m still basking in the excitement of figuring it out as the story unspooled. 🖤🐦‍⬛

Ah, my first StokerCon! Reading the souvenir anthology with a blood-red Malbec at It’s All About Wine, Springfield, Illinois. #StokerCon #readhorror #nerdinabarwithabook

That pit in the stomach, rapid breathing, skin crawling shite that’s a panic attack threatening to happen. 4x4 breathing and taking notes for novel 2. Might need to take a walk right quick.
