I love how changing or adding just a couple of words can modify entire settings, and how one line of dialogue can reveal motives and back stories. I love it when that moment of inspiration hits, the world around me becomes background noise and I'm in a writing bubble, creating a new world. (less)

My Bookish Weekend

The third weekend in October was a lovely bookish weekend.

On Friday, a fellow book lover and I went to see Stephen Graham Jones speak at the Beverly Theater in Las Vegas alongside up-and-coming author Nicholas Russell. They discussed SGJ’s new book Off the Reservation, and all things horror, including their favorite X-Files episodes. I was fortunate enough to meet Stephen Graham Jones and got two Read more of this blog post »

Jenna Moquin is on page 140 of 305 of The Only Good Indians: The scene I just read is why I love this author… he’s a master at drawing you in slowly, making you think a scene is going to play out one way, only to pull a 180 and you’re reading one of the most spine-chilling scenes you’ve ever read. 🔥

“Women are tough and rather coarse. They were built for the raw, crude work of bearing children. You'd be amazed at what they can do when they divert that baby-hatching energy into some other enterprise.”

Aldous Huxley
“There will be in the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them but will rather enjoy it.”
