Book cover for The Reformatory: a white wood frame building under a spooky tree.

My 2024 was almost beyond belief:

* The Reformatory continues to astound me with its reception. It took me seven years of pain to write and won a Bram Stoker Award, L.A. Times Book Prize, Shirley Jackson Prize, Chautauqua Award and was a New York Times Notable Book.

Readers: I am speechless.

Cassiopeia A, a circular-shaped cloud of gas and dust with complex structure. The inner shell is made of bright pink and orange filaments studded with clumps and knots that look like tiny pieces of shattered glass. Around the exterior of the inner shell, particularly at the upper right, there are curtains of wispy gas that look like campfire smoke. The white smoke-like material also appears to fill the cavity of the inner shell, featuring structures shaped like large bubbles. Around and within the nebula, there are various stars seen as points of blue and white light. Outside the nebula, there are also clumps of yellow dust, with a particularly large clump at the bottom right corner that appears to have very detailed striations.

Two features of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A show the power of #NASAWebb’s resolving power. The colorful inner shell shows tiny knots of gas and the smoky outer layer is where ejected matter rammed into the surrounding material: bit.ly/40IVTOS 🔭 🧪

Nighttime at home.

I'm working on writing more scary short stories. Actually, I have plenty of beginnings, I just need to finish some.

As a surviver of child abuse that I received but didn't deserve I think the message got muddled. But I understood that you only meant something positive.
