Oh God I Made Eye Contact (#IWSG September 2020)
This is it! Less than a month left until the release of Psycho Hose Beast From Outer Space. It's been four years since I launched a full-length novel and did a full-scale release, so needless to say this is a bit nerve-wracking. It's been going pretty well so far. I've already got a handful of (very good!) pre-reviews up on Goodreads, and I've got a bunch more ARCs out there, so I'm hoping for at

I'm not surprised - she accomplished a similar

80s Summer Camp (and my 45 seconds of fame)
Good morning campers!
Last week I told you about 80s Summer Camp, an organization that promotes good mental health through community, fun and positivity, and that they were holding their third annual show online on Facebook this past Saturday.
Well, the show happened, and it was a big hit! Not only did it feature many local performers (some of whom were shockingly good), it also featured some

COVER REVEAL: Psycho Hose Beast From Outer Space!
Okay, so I revealed the cover when I announced the book last week. But I've been having second thoughts. About the cover, anyway.
The cover image I revealed to the world last week was, to be frank, not great. I mean, I've certainly seen worse covers, but I was never really happy with it, and I've since had some pretty negative feedback. Yeah, I get it, it's shitty, I know. But I had also
