Or maybe you’ve binged through a horror series, feeling both terrified and utterly captivated.

I Love February!
I always have! After all, it’s Black History Month, my birthday month, the former Women in Horror month, the shortest month, and the coolest month (with leap year and all that). It is also the month where I get to announce new flavor in your ear and candy for your eyes. That’s right – NEW RELEASES! Well, kinda…Continue reading “I Love February!”
Happy New Year!!
And it’s time to jump right in! What are your resolutions? What are your goals? I try not to make unrealistic ones anymore – I mean, I know I’m not going to work out 7 days a week anymore, and I keep them to just a few. This year my goal is to sit back and smell theContinue reading “Happy New Year!!”
The Gore You Never Asked For: Santa Claus
Santa Claus. Kris Kringle. Jolly Old Saint Nick. Father Christmas. St. Nicholas, the real-life 4th century bishop who gave gifts to the needy. You’ve likely referred to the gift-giving rosy-cheeked man in red by one of those names in your lifetime. You probably also know the 1823 poem titled “’Twas the Night Before Christmas”Continue reading “The Gore You Never Asked For: Santa Claus”
It’s that time of year again…
If you celebrate and whatever you celebrate, Happy That! For me, it is Christmas and I want to share my favorite Christmas song with you: This. Absolutely. I just… yes. And now, onto something that kind of blew my mind. I saw other folks doing this and taking stock piqued my interest. I was floored when IContinue reading “It’s that time of year again…”
Time Waits for No One
How…? I can’t believe it has been almost three months since I’ve sent a newsletter! I don’t know how it happened… I mean, ok, I’ve been up to a few things: I mean, ok, I guess I’ve been busy. And there’s more coming up. But before I jump into that, I have to give youContinue reading “Time Waits for No One”
Back at it
Con season is busy. Sooooo busy. It is great for lot of things – catching up with friends, making new ones, sharing knowledge, learning something new, and getting inspired. But not writing. At least, not for me. I know some who can write at the hotel after a day of panels and chatting. Not me.Continue reading “Back at it”
Here We Go!
I see you grooving, busting out your 1980s moves… same, friend… no judgment. Ok, so May got away from me. June tried that mess too, but I caught it before it escaped. Late newsletter but better late than never, as they say. 🙂 How’ve you been? What’s been up? What’re you doing? It’s con seasonContinue reading “Here We Go!”
Well, that was quick!
April is almost over and I didn’t realize it until today! The month flew by for me – how about you? I can’t even put my finger on what happened… I mean, I had some fantastic professional wins (!!!!) and wrote 7 short stories (ok!!!!!), but still. Maybe when you have this dude on loopContinue reading “Well, that was quick!”
Honored, Honored, Fo-Fonored
This is the month where we honor women, so I might as well start from the the title! Do you remember The Name Game? Shirley Ellis brought us this stick-in-your-head gem back in 1964 and I don’t know about you, but I use the lyric play in conversation randomly (you know you do too… beContinue reading “Honored, Honored, Fo-Fonored”
