Still in shock about the whole experience. This all started the last week of August, and now (with regular check-ins) it's over
Thank you to everyone who sent positive vibes/prayed/invoked the guardians of the watchtower
I love you all!

If you are looking for a fun, spooky read for you or your kiddos this season, it's an excellent time to grab the original, The Necromancer's Apprentice!
It's a fun little tome and I'm very proud of it.

I wish my books paid the bills
I wish I was better at marketing
I wish there wasn't 100K A-eye books released every day
ON A BRIGHTER NOTE: those who do read them like them, so that's awesome

Uh yeah this!
Every day I hate that I've self published.
Every day I love that I didn't get a big publisher because look at what's happening out there.
Every day I'm broke.
Some of these things are related.

Had Joe Berlinger been allowed to make the movie he wanted, Blair Witch 2 could've been really interesting. As it stands, it's a great concept with a terrible execution
10/10 because I have a crush of Jeffrey Donovan

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters
Does your character have a rival?
Not necessarily an antagonist, but someone they feel competitive towards?
Is it a friendly rivalry, or more contentious? Does that change over the course of the story?

Fun line from my WIP:
"Then there’s, of course, the jack-o-lanterns. Just like outside, the chiseled gourds stare at Lacey with flicking eyes from every surface."

So heartened by encouragement like this. I do worry I talk too much about my work. As my next novel is my first return to full-length fiction in 6 yrs of non-fic, I'm all the more eager to scream about my du-Maurier-esque Gothic Historical Young Adult novel full of ghosts. tinyurl.com/Ravenfieldhc

One of my favorite line delieveries
"And what would a note say, Dan? 'Cat dead. Details later.'"
There is something about the dryness that Jeffrey Combs uses for Herbet West that makes that line funnier.
