Thanks @erynmccee.bsky.social for hosting today's #horrorwriterschat. Great questions and lovely virtual tea!

Excited to announce that IT WANTS US ALIVE is part of the Unusual Heroes Storybundle with 10% of the proceeds donated to charity. Lots of great writers in there, including @kristinerusch.bsky.social #horrorwriterschat

I had an editor who was one step away from a gelatinous cube that ingests your creativity and soul and you can watch it hang in the cube while it slowly disintegrates. #horrorwriterschat

I can imagine horror everywhere. Probably why I have anxiety. Definitely office or cafe if it matches where I do my work. Or creepy gothic ruined castle filled with ghosts and ivy. That's where I WANT to work anyway. #horrorwriterschat

I research exhaustively like the nerd that I am. I've had a few writers and tech folks in my books, but also archaeologists, priests, reporters, spies, detectives, actresses, bodyguards, and demon hunters. All kinds of people have adventures! #horrorwriterschat

Dang it! Gotta run to the airport now and will miss the rest of the chat. Love interacting with all of you in real time. (had something to promote at the end this time too!) Have fun without me. Don't burn the place down (you know how you are). #horrorwriterschat

Sometimes I write novels full time to pay the bills and other times I pay the bills with technical writing. I like switching it up. Keeps my logic and creative brains fresh. I'll have to leave in the middle of this to get someone at the airport, but will pop on a few hours later #horrorwriterschat

#HorrorWritersChat Well hello hello and welcome to another Wednesday! I welcome you, horror writers, and all things dark. I wanted to talk about what we sell our souls for today. When we don't write. Or maybe you earn your living writing. Tell me all! Side hustles, raising hellions, it all counts.

Powerful.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

This is some dystopian shit right here.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Protect queer people, protect queer youth, protect queer people of color. Please sign the petition to save our National Suicide hotlines that serve the LGBTQIA+ communities. This is cruel and clear discrimination against us. www.thetrevorproject.org/blog/act-now...

IT WANTS US ALIVE available now. A postmenopausal hunter's tale of demons and revenge. Gothy, funny, action-packed. Also: there's a falcon and she's relentless. #horrorwriterschat

That's the height of fame. The flavor is chai with chocolate shavings because that's what has fueled my work. Writers get a free scoop. #horrorwriterschat
