I am extremely excited to announce that I signed with Simon and Schuster to make an audiobook for Love is a Crematorium. I was able to personally hand-pick the narrators and it's just so exciting! It's planned for an early October release. Yay! Yaaaaaaay!!
My face when my therapist says she's reading my book and it's all making sense. She was reading Pretty Little Dead Girls: A Novel of Murder and Whimsy.
Mostly out of this baby! Working mostly on stamina now. Progress seems slow, but every step (hahaha) counts. ;)
Today is the last day to preorder DARLING for 25% off at Barnes and Noble! This applies to the audiobook, as well. Use code PREORDER25. Premium members also get an additional 10% off. Please share! <3

This is tomorrow! It's a short, one hour program with a quick shot of readings. Come spend a literary lunch hour with us. ❤
My kiddo is totally into Silversun Pickups. <3 #williamssyndrome #autism #lasvegas
No, still in Vegas, but to the outer area and into a bigger house. The five of us were bursting at the seams. Our new house is only 20 minutes away, but look what I see out of my window every morning!
This was a staple for us. I remember sitting in our Seattle apartment with our friends, eating pizza and holding tiny Niko on our laps. We thought some things were definitely mean, but man, have we come a LONG WAY in the last 20 years! I remember every single incident they talk about on this show.
Hey, I'm back after an unintended hiatus. We have a new house! Last night I fell asleep in my hammock. <3

We made festive gingerbread cookies, as one does. #MissMurdersHouse #cookies
Saw Garbage on Halloween and it was more than I could have hoped for! After Shirley performed in costume, the entire band came out dressed as octopuses for the encore. Dreams were made and realized this night! ❤️
Will you be in Vegas this weekend? Come see me at the Nightmare in Vegas horror convention and classic car show! I'll be working the Women in Horror booth. <3
The responsibility lies heavy, but I am up to the task.
My friend sent me this picture and said, "It's your one-year anniversary of wearing this to the party!" And you know, she's right.

Just...making weird, random things for no reason except joy. <3
The Internet asked me if I wanted this old doll, please, and I do not. The second the picture came up, our dog began levitating, the house bled from the walls, and frogs and fire fell from the sky. Me: Why am I hearing chanting from the basement? Oh, that's why.
Ooh, look what showed up! My box of Fractured Reveries, which includes my story "Love Songs for the End of the World." Carina Bissett knocked it out of the park. This book is beautiful! #amwriting #writingcommunity #fantasy
I'm an invasive bookworm in-game, too! #fieldsofmistria #videogames
