Macho used to live at a shelter where he shared a litter box with a dozen other cats. No wonder he's become fastidious living with us. After a visit to the litter box he will find me and meow loudly as if to say, "Clean-up on aisle five, lady!" I scoop immediately and he demands a treat. Because.

Young adult? Romance? Maybe they need to check their category settings?

Writing a sequel. Can't help it, the story haunts me. Wish me luck!
George Miller FTW (IYKYK. And if you don’t know by now, you’re better off not knowing.)
“These tales resemble folk horror, but their true allegiance is to psychological and mythic dread. They read not as parables, but as palimpsests—memories overwritten but never erased…where time loops, mothers vanish, and trauma spreads like mycelium beneath the soil.” – S.C. Hickman
I wish you happiness, safety, good books, and plenty of wine. I wish you joy, and many beautiful days with the people you love.
Thanks again to the Seattle Horror Book Club for making I WISH I WAS LIKE YOU their February read! All the best to a lovely group for including Greta and her grunge era murder story in their 2026 reading adventure. Cheers!
Writing fiction keeps my soul alive. Promoting it makes me feel like my brain is full of barking Corgis.
They're alive! DAUGHTERS OF CATASTROPHE is a beautiful novella published by Grimscribe Press and if you like horror centered on family secrets, you need a copy of this little book. The gorgeous cover art is by Harry O. Morris. Publisher's link is in the comment section. Order a copy while they last!
Southern gothic and eerie as hell, the cover art for Daughters of Catastrophe was created by the legendary Harry O. Morris. Available to order directly from Grimscribe Press. (link in the comments below)
Working on a film treatment of I WISH I WAS LIKE YOU. Seattle in the early 1990s. A vengeful ghost tearing through a city in transition--from grunge artist haven to global tech hub. I'm finding new and surprising ways to portray the central conflict. I think 2026 is going to be Greta's year.
Watched BLUE STEEL for the first time in at least ten years. It's even better than I remembered. Kathryn Bigelow directed. Jamie Lee Curtis delivers a hell of a performance. #jamieleecurtis #bluesteel (not zoolander!) #KathrynBigelow
This is so cool! Sadie Hartmann (Mother Horror) includes IF YOU KNEW ME on her list, Favorite 50 of 2025! Thanks to Sadie and to every reader who's followed the wicked exploits of Ann Mason. ❤️
