Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun Ghouls and jinn--oh my!

What a ghoul wants, what a ghoul needs

“At once monumentally self-absorbed and keenly observant – the better to identify suitable targets for consumption and/or sex – Rebekah is a delightful point-of-view character. She swans through the world, convinced that she is an object of envy and lust wherever she goes…”

DC friends, are we looking for some grown-up fun on Halloween? Vamp up and head over to Politics and Prose and watch me in conversation with @verakurian.bsky.social re: my smutty horror-comedy novella, VAMPIRES AT SEA! I will be taking audience questions and signing books!

“There’s a voice in my head constantly reporting on how I’m fat and lazy, an idiot and a failure – things I wouldn’t even say to my worst enemy. I’ve analyzed that voice, deconstructed its tone, rejected its choice of words. I’ve argued, I’ve dismissed it. But the voice persists.”

My piece on writing Vampires at Sea is out in Necessary Fiction!

Hah thank you!

My interview in @electricliterature.com with absolute QUEEN @chelseagsummers.bsky.social re: my novella VAMPIRES AT SEA has arrived!

“I’m interested in the vampire as a sex symbol who exists on the edge of creepy and thirst trap.”
