SOMETHING OF A CALLING has received its first blurb! It's a huge honor to get a blurb from as talented a horror author as @kealanpatrickburke.bsky.social -- thank you so much!
Coming 9/15 from @blackstonepub.bsky.social
I've now taken 4 self-assessment tests for autism (CAT-Q, GQ-ASC for Adult Women, AQ, and RAADS-R) and scored in the autistic range for all of them....yet I'm still not sure it's legit unless a professional makes it official?? (I could debate every question on every test, dissect every trait...)😳
WRITER CONFESSIONS: When I get an edit letter I feel stupid & confused; I don't understand how to process broad, general notes. Then I got an edit letter from someone on the autism spectrum: it was granular & inspired ideas = a lightbulb moment in my understanding that autistics THINK differently.
I just signed a thing... Should have an official announcement soon.
You are NOT ready for this, LOL.
If you're interested in cults & brainwashing I highly recommend the new 4-part Netflix documentary Trust Me: The False Prophet. It's unique & quite extraordinary - about a documentary filmmaking couple who basically embed themselves to earn trust, enabling them to capture a true inside perspective.
My tulips survived the last two nights of freezing temperatures. If we're lucky, it will stay at least moderately warmish. 🤞
Spring is springing...
We're protesting in spirit today...
Tilly-Leguin and I are finishing Women in Horror month with WHITE HORSE by Erika T. Wurth... That is if she gives me my turn to read it. 😺

Maybe this is why MY UNDERSLUMBERBUMBLEBEAST is also on sale for such a good price?? 🤔

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
Democracy dies in oligarchy.
The book is being published by an independent publisher, Blackstone, and will be available Sept. 15.
