Loved the NE horror talent, humor & community at the Carry Me to Your Bookshelf author extravaganza organized by Christopher Golden last night! #horror #authors #booksky #horrorcommunoty
Loving this book about an alien living as a young woman coming of age in working class Philly (and later NYC). Glad my spec fic book group picked it. #booksky #scifi #bookgroup
Salem harbor cruise for my husband the great dad. Happy Father's Day to all the caring, reliable, strong father figures out there! #fathersday
Thinking of those who have never had the dad they needed (for varied reasons), & those who've lost their father figure. Cheers to the relatives, teachers & mentors who help fill the gaps.

Music is joy.Joy is resistance. Congrats to the wonderful singers in my Rock Voices community chorus on an awesome concert this weekend! #music
Inspired by Artemis II crew! Needed their joy & courage in science during these grim & violent times. #artemisll #nasa #sciencesky
When you obsessed over a truly original horror audiobook & the next year you find the eyeball edition on sale! Love this.🔥 #booksky #horror #reading #horrorcommunity
A good friend & a peaceful, local No Kings protest make me feel inspired to keep resisting Trump's fascist, capricious rule.
If you missed my March newsletter, there's a Spring writing prompt, a speculative poetry giveaway (poetry month is coming!), and info on my May flash memoir workshop: mailchi.mp/351434ed064d...
Rad #readers: @newenglandhorror.bsky.social will be selling my collections "Specters & Spells" & "Eve's Requiem" tonight at Pulp Lit Fest at DWYBO!
Thanks so much! Check out my short & spooky flash fiction collection, "Specters and Spells." These stories of flawed women and strange children facing the dark are like bites from a poisoned cake...
The bloody, bizarre, voice-driven horror of "Victorian Psycho" is memorable! The hyperbolic violence spins out of control at times & it's darkly funny. Myriad children are murdered, but if you can stomach this look at how women & kids were seen as disposable, it's quite good. #booksky
Happy New Year! Hoping my son's cold clears up enough for planned celebrations welcoming good luck & celebrating Chinese heritage in our family.
Snowy Sunday. Sledding by the beach & then home for the game. #beach #naturesky
"When they said horror couldn't eat at literature's table, we horror folks built a table from the bones of our enemies and welcomed everyone who wanted to join us." - @gabino.bsky.social Amen. Pass the gravy.
"Horror knows me." - haileypiperfights.bsky.social It knows me too. #Booksky #essay #horror #horrorcommunity
A room full of people who love "We Have Always Lived in The Castle" is a great place to be! Great panel on why we do indeed love Shirley Jackson tonight @copperdogbooks.bsky.social #booksky #horror #authorsky
200 people braved extreme cold to stand against ICE in my small city today. Stop the war on immigrants & helpers who support them!
