Graphic of "Authorcon VI Damage" centering a bookshelf full of various horror, scifi, and weird fiction. A shrike graphic is perched on a stack of books reading "TBR"
Finally got around to stacking the Authorcon VI haul. 📚
Is it a trophy shelf or a stack of shame? 🫣
Thanks again all you lovely weirdos for sharing your art. 💖

So AuthorCon started off with a bang today and I didn’t take any pictures! But I brought Jasper with me and we set up a chess set for him to challenge convention goers to play him. He’s ready to compete Saturday and Sunday… so come by and face the master blaster! #authorcon #scaresthatcare
And now, announcing my #ScaresThatCare 2026 exclusive...

Killer Pride wasn't /technically/ a book event, but I knew I wouldn't make it out unscathed. 💋
Shout out to all the beautiful folks I met this past weekend. You're my favorite kind of weirdos.

Bookshelf with skull bookend. Books covered in cobwebs. Text reads: AuthorCon VI, February 27 - March 1, 2026, Williamsburg, Virginia.
Scored a table for next year's AuthorCon! Looking forward to seeing my writing peeps again. #horrorwriters #scaresthatcare #fightrealmonsters
How can this even be already almost a week behind us? Here's some pics to keep the magic of the memories and energy alive.

Finally sorted through some of my pics from Scares that Care 2025. Thank you to everyone. I had a lovely weekend. Sorry if I was too excited. I don't put on pants and leave the house very often! #scaresthatcare #booksofhorror #horrorbooks #horrorfans
Stack of books
Books by friends picked up at #ScaresThatCare, and I still have many more friends from whom I need to pick up new titles! #horror #books
BOOK HAUL from #scaresthatcare Authorcon 5.
It's small because my TBR pile is already massive, but I'm looking forward to plowing through these. Lee Mountford is a SWEETIE and I hope he joins BlueSky soon! @ajhumphreys.bsky.social is a rad dude too. Had an unreasonable amount of fun there.
Filled 2 suitcases and my backpack with books for the flight home! will do a count when I unpack. #scaresthatcare #authorconV #fightrealmonsters plan for next year is to have my own book to sell :)
Judith and Sid
Low Blasphemy
It was great to meet Judith Sonnet in person for the first time and do a book swap at #ScaresThatCare #AuthorCon.

Naturally, I didn't take pictures of myself over the course of the weekend, but one of the few people who attended the reading on Saturday surprised me by taking a picture while I read a selection from Innocence Ends.

I'm not heading toward home with as many new books as I'd like...but that goes without saying...I'd have bought one of everything I don't already have if finances and baggage weight weren't factors.

#scaresthatcare #authorconv was absolutely as amazing as I expected for my second time #fightrealmonsters next year!!!
I went to #scaresthatcare with 40 copies and left with 18. Never in my life did I think I'd sell more than two.
If I can, I'll be there next year. What a fun time. Met some awesome people, got some signed books, laughed my ass off at the Gross-Out contest. 10/10 convention. These are my people.
Last Day of AuthorConV!
Doing book trades, trying to socialize, leaving CJ in charge for a bit.
I still have a few shark books, and all links in my full catalogue 🥰
#ScaresThatCare #IFightRealMonsters
#AuthorCon V - Day 2 - I was determined not to go overboard this year, and mainly succeeded, ONLY buying 27 books (came home with 40 last year), though still went over my intended budget. Cost of living and whatnot I guess.

Erica with The Gift
Among items leaving my table today was this newly re-issued trade paper edition of The Gift, a novel originally published under my Michael August pseudonym. Happy to sign it for Erica! #ScaresThatCare #Authorcon
