Starting my Monday off with a story rejection. Hopefully not indicative of how the rest of the week will go.

The Mister ate his half and said, "It's not THAT dry" 😭😭

Did you know if you forget to cover your chicken and rice dish then cook it for an hour in the oven, you're going to end up with the driest chicken and hardest rice known to man?

Don't ask me how I know.

I loved REAP, SOW and so will you! #Booksky

A graphic featuring the cover of Reap, Sow, depicting a furiously screaming elderly woman half consumed by shadows, alongside the book's description: The halls are familiar. Lucianne "Lucky" Boyle knows that much. But how she came to be in this strange place that tries to make itself look like home is a mystery. Filled with doors that have no handles, rooms that shift to almost familiar, and faceless people in blue, Lucky is determined to find a way out to get back to her family and the man she loves. Until her family starts to show up, one by one, to lead her down a dark and twisted path that ends in a terrible truth.

Novelette for novelette! 😂💚

Hey, fellow authors, maybe don't promote your books on posts that are not asking for recs. It's spammy and there's a good chance you'll just be blocked.

Excited to join a wonderful line up of horror authors for World Book Day! Huge thanks to Lisel and Sierra for organizing this event!

Always disappointing to read a book that had a great premise and opening, but ends up being the definition of style over substance with an ending that completely flat lines. At least it was short. On to the next!

Elizabeth is such a fun character to play! I hope you sci-fi/Lovecraft fans will give WHISPERS FROM THE VOID a chance. It's a large ensemble audio drama that pits the everyman against the unknown...
