Look at how beautiful this cover is! It’s the cover to Donna Taylor’s 2nd book in the San Nico Slayers Series!

If you read Blood on the Boardwalk, you’re going to love this one too!

Exactly! I’m still mad about there not being more than one season of Teenage Bounty Hunters. It’s too good of a show to be treated like this.

October hasn’t been Octobering like I know how October can. It’s been a strange month & on top of that I’ve worked every day except last Saturday when I took time off to attend the Merrimack Valley Halloween Book Festival. It’s the only thing that has kept me connected to my favorite month.

Haven’t had much time to read the last couple months, but what I’ve been able to, they’ve all been 5⭐️ books. I don’t know how I’ve been so lucky or been on such a win streak, but I’m not complaining. In fact, I’m loving it!

Have you read any of these? If not, do so!

Yes, what waking up from having a fever dream about the psychological horror story you’ve been thinking about for months that has finally come together and is ready to be written looks like.

Seriously these pictures though, if you can’t make fun of yourself, are you really living?

Let it be known that for the next 31 days this will be my answer for when I’m asked questions like:

“What were you thinking?”
“What goes on in that little brain of yours?”
“What’s wrong with you?”
“Where’s your head at?”
“Why can’t you focus?”
“Why are you like this?”

You’ve been warned. #October

Woke up at 6:03 am on a chilly Sunday morning to the sounds of an owl nearby, crows in the distance, & the rustling of dying leaves on the tree outside my window. Then I rolled over in bed & saw Gemma sitting in the window enjoying the moment like me. I love moments like this.

Monday is the official start of Autumn and I have never needed it more in my whole life. I read Classic and Gothic Horror for the Fall/Winter season. This year's classic is THE OTHER by Thomas Tryon--but here are some that I have read & loved previously-try @valancourtbooks.bsky.social for books!

It’s been awhile since I took a day off & went to a book store. Was I overly excited, overly caffeinated & told to stop running around like a wild child loose in a candy store? I cannot confirm nor deny, but I will say before they kicked me out I was able to buy a few books to add to my collection.

Writing Room Reveal! I’ve had many in my life but there’s something about this one that speaks to me. It calls to me when I’m away. And when I enter, the energy feels different. I can’t explain it, but it feels right - it feels oh so right. Muahahaha.

Although it’s only been a couple months living in Maine, it’s been an amazing wild ride & I’ve been loving every minute. I couldn’t be more happy with this place.

I had such a great Day 1 at #StokerCon2025 that I didn’t even get a chance to buy the books I’m determined to return home with. So imagine my surprise when the night ended & finally checked out what was in my gift bag. Yep, 2 of the books on my list! SCORE! Gawd, I love this event!
