My marketing budget is this lint I just found in my bellybutton and no one wants that. So please, if anything below catches your eye, I'd love it if you gave it a try. And if you enjoy it, please tell people. Word of mouth is a superpower, whether you have 1 follower or 1 million.

So after much trial and error, this seems to be one of the social media services that I never visit any more. There's a linktree in my bio with all the places I'm still active. Love to see you there!

This is a cool horror book box subscription service that I hadn't seen before.

It's my birthday! The best present I could get is you grabbing one of my books for yourself or a loved one. Or both. Spread the weird! 🖤

I wrote a thing about social media and the changing landscape we're all traversing.

Okay, I finally got my hands on a copy of the Woke Agenda. Well, I saw it on an Antifa computer and grabbed a photo when they weren't looking. I'm shook. It's shattering stuff. I mean, brace yourselves, this is world-changing. This agenda is fucking RADICAL.

Man, I just belted out a 5,850 word short story today. Been a long time since I dropped a word count like that or an entire story in a day. It's good though, I like it!

Today's typo. Look, it's not wrong, as they are skinny-dipping, but it's not what I meant to say:

Beverly boobed in the water, slicked her long brunette hair back with both hands.

Spoutible added a button to tip or subscribe. Pretty cool, as long as it doesn't throttle engagement, which is possible. For now I added my Ko-fi account to the button, but what are other people doing? It says "paste your payment provider URL" but I'm not sure what that is. Is there a direct option?

Grief is like wearing a suit of stones. It never gets any lighter, you just get used to carrying the load. Then every now and then another stone gets added and you have to get used to the weight all over again. Vale, Heather.

"The doctor's name is Frankenstein, actually, not the monster."

Yes, Victor Frankenstein. And he made the monster, so he's technically the monster's father, so the monster is his son, and would use the family name, so the monster IS Frankenstein too.

Monster Frankenstein.

I posted a behind the scenes look at one of my old notebooks, where I'm juggling with ideas that eventually became my novel, BOUND. There's also a short story exclusive to patrons, featuring Silhouette from BOUND and the rest of the Alex Caine Series.

The novel I'm working on has some of my best writing, I'm really pleased with how it's coming together. But it's also a lesson in letting the story be what it wants to be. The central premise, even the working title, is based on a core idea that... isn't actually happening. Interesting!

How to write a book:
- Come up with some wild ideas
- Mix ideas into spicy story soup
- Add troubled characters (don't admit who they're based on)
- Getting bored? Hurt a character
- Hope for the best
- Don't panic! Keep writing!
- Did you get to the end?
- Now make it not shit

You like cosmic weirdness? You like sporror? You like crime mixed into your horror? May I invite you to visit the isolated Australian harbour town of Gulpepper. You may never leave...

Most of my stuff never even reaches 100 reviews. The best before now is less than 300. And here's SALLOW BEND just past 500 reviews. FIVE HUNDRED! 🤯 Averaging 4.3 out of 5 stars 🌟 Thank you, everyone! It's huge and it really helps. 😃🙏

Ah, it's April 1st. Quick reminder that "prank" is usually just another word for bullying. Don't be a dick.

The Tasmanian Tiger is very sadly extinct. I know for a fact that no Tasmanian Tiger ever read one of my books. I'm not saying that's definitely why they're extinct, I'm just asking if you're comfortable taking that chance.
