One of my characters needed a familiar…and I decided it would be a rum-ball-addicted squirrel…which led to research on when rum balls were invented…and who on the Lusitania might have had a pet squirrel

Part 2: There’s been a bat in the house before (How small is my town? Two police officers showed up. One thwacked it with a broom.). Mice. Birds are vacationing in the windowsill here in my office.

“It was true that Betty was half asleep when she opened the bathroom door. That flash of something, that shock of presence, could have been anything, really…” from #endersandangels#shortstories#holidayread#creepykooky
This morning, my little book and I are in Newark, NJ, en route to Nashville. Had no idea the @audible_com HQ is here (in the city, not in the airport, by the juice place). #endersandangels#skyread
In this one, a woman is having increasingly frequent — and alarming — flashbacks about a previous life. It’s not going to end well for anybody. Except maybe the girl with the llama head. #endersandangels#shortstories#dontworryitsfiction
