Here is the text of my keynote from the Bram Stoker Awards ceremony. It was a rant masquerading as a keynote. And in pure Becky fashion it is also a call to action. Why We Need Horror Authors in the Fight For the Freedom to Read: raforall.blogspot.com/2025/06/why-we…

I am delighted and honored to announce that my story Antarctica won 1st prize in the Stories At The End of the World contest. First a play, then a story, now a winner. <3

Last night, as I always do, I stayed up til 4AM putting together my Year in Review blog, where I talk about favorite books, films, CDs & events of the past year. I worked on adding pix this afternoon. If you're curious, my highlights of #2024 are here: johneverson.com/2024-always-on…

Why, yes, I have a story in the same issue of a magazine as do Stephen King and Chuck Palahniuk. Supposedly shipping in January. #horror #stephenking #chuckpalahniuk #cemeterydance #horrortok #hwa @ChicagoHWA @BooksofHorror cemeterydance.com/cemetery-dance…

It's the last day of 2024 which means it is finally time for my annual "Becky's Favorite Reads" in categories. I'll be back on 1/6. Happy New Year. raforall.blogspot.com/2024/12/what-i…

Happy New Year, you filthy animals. May the best of 2024 be the worst of 2025. Onward and upward, my brothers and sisters. Write that story, finish that book, do that thing. You got it. I believe in you.

.....pssst why i love horror the book is done and about to be turned in to the publisher. coming to a shelf near you in Jan 2026 arcs and more at ala annual in philly, in case you were on the fence about going

Friendly reminder. If the project funds, your pledge will be charged on Jan 17. I kinda forgot that and when I pledged I was like "oh yeah." So if you haven't pledged yet...food for thought! And you can configure ur reward. Pick what you actually want, add a tote or a shirt, etc

I'm still a bit in disbelief over this, so I'm going to keep talking about it until I'm convinced it's real. Downpour, my debut novel, has WON the indie fiction Book of the Year award from the Chicago Writers Association!
