Write with me! I’m hosting a 12-hour online NYE writing party from 12PM-Midnight (GMT) and a midnight open mic. It’s on zoom. You can be anywhere. This is a year of some of my favorite videos. Let me know if you’d like the zoom link.
The auction ends tonight. I'd love to help you celebrate your book. Don't have a book to celebrate? It's holiday season. The gift of a book launch could be just what the writer in your life needs. You can support a good cause and celebrate your own or someone else's writing.
It's Small Business Saturday!
We know Amazon serves up irresistible deals, but a closer look at the label reveals unsavoury ingredients - including tax avoidance, worker mistreatment, and a deeply corrosive impact on our community shops.

Well deserved! Curdle Creek was definitely creepy, and the story was unique! It's a wonderful book, well worth re-reading.
