There's no more denying it, summer fans. Fall doesn't start until the end of the month, but nobody cares. It's officially autumn. Now, I'm not much of a pumpkin spice girl because I'm a Type 1 Diabetic and fucking Starbucks hates me and will not stock a dang sugar-free pumpkin spice syrup. This Ski[...]
I've got a lot on my plate and have been taking whatever free time I have on my hand to both chill the fuck out and also get some shit done. Both these things are nearly impossible when I'm on my day off and trying to find me time in a house full of screaming kids, but here we are. It's another mon[...]
When I first dove into the world of gothic suspense paperbacks, I was half-drunk after a bath and in need to buy something. I stumbled over ebay and hastily spent 12 of my hard-earned Canadian dollars on this glorious paperback, complete with a glorious holographic title. It became the first book i[...]

I might like to think of myself as a high-thinking book-reading too-good-for-gossip writer-type, but deep down I'm just a horny lady. I spend most of my free moments during the day listening to leftist political commentary on YouTube. And yes, I have ranked my faves. So here's my totally arbitrary[...]

Admittedly, I never read the R.L. Stine's Fear Street series in my youth. I dunno why. Honestly, most of my pre-teen youth days were spent reading, but I was a pretty slow reader so I never actually got to devour R.L. Stine's books at the rapid rate that some of you other fans have. (I did read a f[...]
Last week, I told you all about my new story, an erotic gothic horror called "The Fruits of Wartime". The story is pretty much everything you think it is and you can now read it in your hot little hands in Ravens & Roses, an anthology of women's gothic horror from Quill & Crow Publishing Ho[...]
