I won’t be giving up the day job to pursue a career in graphic design.. but hey, it’s a neat enough encapsulation of An Invincible Summer - out through @InfestedPub . If these match your ‘vibes’, then give it a go. Available wherever you buy your books so go get it! #scifibooks

Sorry for sharing again, but I’m fighting these edits with no contract and all that and every single copy counts, you know? Also, still only $1.99! That’s a lot for a little. Chunk of my soul, too. Love crime? Horror? Magic? A little drama? I got you! amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CPF88MV…

As we're now little over halfway through #tbrcon2026 we'd like to take a moment to thank this incredible book community for tuning in, sharing, participating, and helping in making it all possible. To all our guests and moderators, past and present, you are all invaluable and we strive to make this as inclusive an experience as possible for everyone in the book community spread across all these socials. We do our best, amid cancellations, last minute emergencies, and people who turn invites down for any number of perfectly valid reasons, to prop up those we can from all walks of life. That is the main goal of this Con after all, to bring together new & old(er) voices in the industry, in a more accessible & broad way than in-person Cons generally might allow. The book community is ginormous & we are a small team of volunteers so it is all possible thanks to every one of you🔥 If you stuck around this long then make sure to check out this delightful little interest form that helps us gauge interest for future Cons & lets us know who to invite next! We can't guarantee a spot but it puts you first in line! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

Got the launch event for An Invincible Summer tonight and I’m currently in Stage 2 of Launch Prep: Trying to remember what I meant when I wrote it.

But why @BBCSport ? It looks awful and adds absolutely nothing to the reporting.

Are haunted houses outdated in horror? Or are they still just as important now as they were to the Romans in 100AD? This amazing group of authors will talk all about it in the Tradition vs. Innovation in Haunted Houses panel happening on Monday, July 27th, 2026 at 1PM CST! With George Dunn, @SteJHoward, @tamikathompson, Chris Panatier, Dan Coxon, & @GraceDalyAuthor! #tbrcon2026 #writers #writingcommunity #author #hauntedhouse
