The best part of doing a monthly magazine is getting to do a COVER REVEAL every month! The September issue features Steve Rasnic Tem, Ryan Marie Ketterer, Thomas C. Mavroudis, Christina Pamies, and more! Cover by Jakub Jagoda.

My 7th book is out. Some authors call books their babies. I advise against. Having babies is normal. Writing books is strange. People are evolutionarily predisposed to like your babies immediately. Not so with books. Pinch my book's chubby cheeks, please! bit.ly/TCoF2YWW

I just discovered the art of Suguru Tanaka and I’m in love. Bleak, otherworldly.

Look what came today! It's THE COZY COSMIC compiled by @frances_pai and @markteppo! I was telling one the writers, @johnboykish, that I couldn't figure out how to write a cozy version of a cosmic horror story. I'm excited to read these excellent authors' stories and learn how! – at Independence, OR

If you haven’t listened/watched already you’re going to want to do so before I show up in my gourd costume and @teachergorman mask and act it out for you. There’s flashing lights and so many props. Big nuisance honestly.
On this week's WRITERS NOT WRITING, @teachergorman gabs with @ErikGrove, author of stories in COZY COSMIC and WINDING PATHS, about marathon running, Australian brain worms, and how the most punk rock thing in the world is therapy. bit.ly/WNWHome

My favorite short story ever written (so far) is in this playable super stacked anthology. I wrote about roller derby because the editor made me and about the apocalypse because I’m emotionally damaged. BEHOLD WINDING PATHS! Details and events to come. Tell your dentist!

Had a wonderful weekend taking photos, making reels, and getting up in everyone's business at #wilwrite23 ! Thanks @dongwon for an inspiring Sunday keynote! "Learning to listen, apologize, to believe in yourself is what makes it possible to do great things."

Our flash fiction contest in May will help us raise funds to pay authors and artists. If it goes really well, we may also finally afford to switch to Moksha. So if you hate pasting those stories into an email, consider entering! Entry details forthcoming.

I've got the opening story in this, "At the Bottom of the Burlap"! A couple years ago, if you'd have told me I'd be published alongside horror royalty, I'd have trouble believing you 🤩
