Long work day, all in lite duty

Happy Halloween!! You know, I just realized that tonight is my first ever headlining author event. I’m only a little terrified… 👻

A few years ago, I stopped writing plays completely. I was receiving rejection after rejection and was slowly losing my joy for writing for the stage…. Years later, a play I wrote is co-headlining StoryFest with Neil Gaiman… Don’t give up. You only need one “yes.” ❤️

@DanielDKraus I had those memories action figures, they worth money now but we tore them up. I had the Planet of the Apes ones......

Reminder: Long live horror. Long live noir. Long live fantasy. Long live science fiction. Long live mystery. Long live romance. Long live bizarro. Long live poetry. Long live nonfiction. Long live everything that makes writers happy. Long live everything that makes readers happy.

Next week I’ll select one random winner to send a signed ARC of my upcoming novel, BECOMING THE BOOGEYMAN. Just have to Follow and RT to be eligible. Good luck!

Given today’s ongoing AI discussion, I’ll add this: you should buy this because it’s super cheap and every copy counts, but also because it contains almost three years of hard work, anger, frustration, edits, and dreams. Yeah, I wrote every single word, and that matters to me.
