- 🏆 Thrilled! 🏆 My book "Vampire Verses: Poems" won an award! 🎨 "The illustrations are atmospheric rather than explanatory, which fits the book’s attitude: to offer access without overexposure." @giuliadrawsstuff.bsky.social @dmcwriter.bsky.social @hwany.org thebookishmagazine.com/the-bookish-...

- Recording of last night's reading. My reading starts at 34:34. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rtm... (I'm too neurotic to watch myself on camera, so I haven't watched!) Thank you to @hwany.org for having me! Thank you @bfbzine.bsky.social for publishing the story I read from, "Westward I Reach"
- Reminder, @horrorwritersassoc.bsky.social & @hwany.org folks, if you need access to AMERICA'S MOST GOTHIC for any 2025 recommendation consideration in Long Form Non-Fiction, access is in the Members-Only Forum online, don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions / trouble accessing! 🖤
- I completely forgot to take pics. Glad someone else remembered.
- These events are so great and very entertaining. Do yourself a favor and add them to your calendar, plus they’re free!
- #TwistedSpine was devastated by torrential rain Thursday. After being open only 2 months, they need to replace entire ceiling. For a #smallbusiness this is terrible news. Here is their @gofundme.com page to help #Horror #bookstore Share!https://gofund.me/32c2e6d05 @stephenking.bsky.social @hwany.org
- Reviews do matter. ARCs are available for 👻🎃 "Always Haunted: Hallowe'en Poems." At Shade Bar, I read 2 horrifying pieces about a brutal NYC double homicide & my Uncle Larry's poker games with the poltergeists of Park Slope. 📩 A DM gets you a pdf! www.goodreads.com/book/show/21...

- 🐺Usually, he ignored vagrants & hitchhikers. But he noticed a black eye, a fresh bruise like a misshapen heart on her raised arm. The wolf inside him opened a slumbering eye and braked. "Meeting" by LindaAnn LoSchiavo In "This Exquisite Topology" @angrygablepress.bsky.social @hwany.org @hdwp.com
- Oh hell. This is very, very, bad. Extremely bad.
- Reviews and word-of-mouth comments/reviews are the lifeblood of independent #writing and #publishing. Without amplification by readers, we cannot be found.
- Reminder to #readers: if there’s a story/book you’ve enjoyed, take a minute to write a review on #goodreads, #amazon @barnesandnoble.com & #SocialMedia. Even a short nention can help others discover it. Thank you. #reading #IndiePublishing #writing.

- The main character of my upcoming sci-fi horror release VEIL (9/16) owns a bookstore called The Constant Reader Café (because he's a huge Stephen King fan). An amazing reader named Sarah Bartz and her talented sister-in-law Stephanie Sorrenson created this design and t-shirt, and I love it!!!
