Social Media Friends and Welfare Checks

There’s no denying that social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook have thrown open the door to making new friends, chat buddies, and even business associates.

Women in Horror Month

It’s February – which means it’s Women in Horror Month! This is a time when women who work in horror – be it as authors, filmmakers and artists – receive special acknowledgement for their contributions to the genre.

Courting Horror with Florida Gothic

 

 

OH, THE HORROR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Horror isn’t exactly new to me. No, I’m not talking about my personal life; I’m talking about my writing life! I’ve crossed over into horror on several projects, though technically speaking, it’s probably safe to say that my new book release Florida Gothic is my first full-on, guts-on-the-table, cringing-in-the-corner horror novel. As the debut release in The “Gothic” Series, I’ve combined plenty of grit and gore for this one. I think the book demonstrates th...
