YA Horror in 2019: Dreaming Darkly by Caitlin Kittredge

I tend to spend a lot of time looking through upcoming book lists and was delighted to find this dark diamond. Have you heard of Dreaming Darkly? I hadn't until today but it looks amazing. The below cover and summary are from the Epic Reads website. In fact, the Goodreads blurb, which is slightly different, boasts this novel as "A moody and twisty gothic mystery with an impossible romance, Dreaming Darkly is an atmospheric, fast-paced page-turner written by comics veteran Caitlin Kittredge." Moody and gothic is my middle name (not really, there wasn't enough r[...]

Haunted is here! The Woodsview Murders are back!

A few years ago, I met Brian online. I was running another writing blog and he was a reader. He asked me to come on a podcast he was hosting and I did. We hit it off. It went so well that I couldn't stop thinking about how awesome it would be to write with him. I was afraid, but I asked anyways. He said yes. Harrowed was born. Our YA slasher book, a la Scream, which turned out to be a love story to 80's metal, cool cars, murder, mystery, and first love. It is one of my favorite things I've ever written. It means so much to have so much of what we love in the b[...]

Today we have a very special unbirthday. In fact, today's special person loves the swamp. But she's also brilliant and funny and a fantastic writer. She's cool. Too cool.

To kick off your unbirthday Vicki, I got you a cake. I think you'll like it. Found he[...]
