Tradition!

Welcome to Black History Month! As is my tradition, I will post a Black horror movie every day of this month on Facebook and X (find me there to chat). We can engage about the movie there and you can find gems you may not have seen before. I’ll share the first movie I’m posting here in the newsletter, but first I want to tell you about something cool.

I’ve always said that February is MY month: it is Black history month, it used to be Women in Horror month (this has since moved to March, but that’s ok), and it is my birthday month. It has also been a new release month for me in the in the past and this year is no different. On Valentine’s Day, my slipstream (read: romancy, horror, action, sci-fi) beauty will be released into the world. I’m so excited to introduce book #1 of The Red Thread Saga: The Tryst.

Back cover copy:

A moment in time… insignificant and fleeting for most, but for Nicole, Mark, and Eric, it is life-altering. Three strangers meet in a town they don’t know in a place they hadn’t expected to end up only to find that they are exactly where they were supposed to be… again.

Love always finds a way.

Through space and time, past and future, through lifetimes and storylines they were destined to find each other, love each other, lose each other – coordinates and weapons, scenarios and demographics be damned. A malfunction, to be sure. But when Ryan tries to tinker with his project, a weapon the likes of which has never been seen in all of the Galactic Collaborative, he finds out just how inexorable their link is… and how insidious.

The first book of a slipstream series that will challenge the way you think about love, life, connection, and purpose, The Tryst will catch you in its whirlwind and never let you go. Each book in The Red Thread Saga will combine urban fantasy, mystery, thriller, psychological horror, action, suspense, science fiction elements in differing measures, always with romance as an undercurrent.

Love always finds a way.

But sometimes that way is paved with bones.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This beauty will be available as an ebook, which you can preorder now, paperback, and audiobook.

And more news…

The ENTIRE series (5 books y’all!) will be released THIS YEAR!!!

You won’t have to wait forever to find out what happens next! Put these dates in your calendar!

Ok, back to the movie. My day #1 movie choice for Black History Month is…

drum roll…

Sixteen Oscar nominations… vampire flick with depth… southern gothic vibes… and so much more. I loved this movie so much and have engaged in conversation about it on several levels over the past few months. I even wrote an article about it and its place in the horror landscape for Nighttide Magazine. Check it out if talking and thinking about horror is your thing!

That’s it for now!

Until next time…
