I'm sure this means everything is *fine* here at 1313 Mockingbird Lane, Arkham, MA.

I am delighted to announce that I will be on the panel "When the Bullet Hits the Bone: Why Crime and Horror Fiction Are Bound in Blood," at Necon, with S. A. Cosby, John Goodrich (Moderator), @gabino.bsky.social @michellereneelane.bsky.social and Craig Wolf!

Just some of the authors in the mammoth book of SPACEFUNK Toss a coin to your starchildren at www.kickstarter.com/projects/mvm...

This is "Itchy," which has been with us since we bought our house eons ago. Itchy has survived blizzards, hurricanes, porch replacements (and the 100-year old oak that fell on the porch), and my gardening "skills." We were pretty sure we'd lost Itchy, until these blooms came this week. Go, Itchy!

If you and your POV character are in bad moods, the level and quality of violence in the story may* increase. #AnnaHoyt *will

Advance praise for ANNA HOYT, from @sjrozan.bsky.social "If you think the smart, remorseless, bad-ass female protagonist is a product of the noir art of the 20th Century, you haven't met Anna Hoyt...I couldn't put it down." -- SJ Rozan, best-selling author of THE MURDER OF MR. MA

I'm going to be generous and estimate that it took me an hour to get the loom set up for threading and figure out how to thread the first eight shafts. Only 492 left to go! 😂 #weaving #8shaft #doublewidth #Schachtmightywolf

Tonight, on a very special episode of "Orange is the New Black..."

Discussion in a hotel elevator: Person in an excellent, severely tailored suit: Are you here for X (university commencement weekend)? Me: No. Suit Person (incredulously): Really? I had no opportunity to ask about their doubt of my answer. 🤣

Which is to say, I could use help spreading the word. HEROES AMONG SHADOWS has been out a week. Heroic fantasy, sword-&-sorcery, sword-&-planet, alt history dieselpunk, and more!

My copy of BREATH WARMTH & DREAM arrived yesterday; I fell in love with the story after one page. If you know @zzclaybourne.bsky.social's work, you'll want to get your hands on this, right now. If you don't know his work...you need to get your hands on this right now! #magick

I finished @victorlavalle.bsky.social LONE WOMEN two weeks ago, and I'm still walking it off. It's. So. Amazingly. Brilliant.

The dogwood tree has bloomed! (Fortunately, I restrained myself from putting the creepy doll picture from the cover of #ANNAHOYT on one of the petals... 😃 )

Thanks to Kristopher Zygorski and the BOLO Books Booking Desk for the official cover reveal of ANNA HOYT (created by the talented @erricknunnally.bsky.social)! Click on the link below for all the details! #crime #noir #18thc #historicalfiction #strongfemaleprotagonist

Moving from horror (Nicholas Kaufmann and THE MIND WORMS event last night) to the traditional mystery and Malice Domestic ! Saturday at 9am, I'll be moderating "From Page to Screen: Murder, She Watched" with E.j. Copperman , Alexia Gordon, Anne Hillerman andTeresa Pesche!

The Salem Fiber Witch Festival was a lot of fun--and packed! I particularly enjoyed the logo. #fiber #BabaYaga

Ready for the eclipse!

Her name is "Mariner." Lots of warping and shuttling to strange new worlds and eight-shaft adventures, with shenanigans, swearing, and occasional violence. @schacht_spindle_company #MightyWolf #ST:LD

Front page of the text version, with reference to Laurie Chandlar's reporting of her horrific experiences with Dallas law enforcement: @Dallas_DA @DallasPD @DallasCityMgr @DallasTourism www.dallasobserver.com/news/dallas-...

Dallas, Collin Counties Blow Deadline for State-Required Report Aimed at Combatting Sexual Assaultwww.dallasobserver.com A new state law requires Texas counties to create Sexual Assault Response Teams (SARTs) and file a report on efforts to fight crime. Dallas and Collin have yet to file their reports.

Woot! I took the double-width project off the SchachtSpindleCompany #CricketQuartet and it worked! On the left, as the fabric looked on the loom. On the right, after I opened it up and gave it a wash. The fold will be even less noticeable if I use all the same warp color.

I'll be reading from ANNA HOYT at Boskone. My agent Josh Getzler says it's "The Godfather" w/ a female protagonist in 1740s Boston. I think of it as "The Sopranos" meets "Moll Flanders," but you get the picture. The presence of big skirts does not equate to genteel behavior. #noir #stabbity

My schedule for Boskone this weekend: Sat 11 am: Reading 11:30 am: Signing 2:30 am: The Softer Side of Science Fiction 4:00 pm: Crossing Genres Sun 11:30 am: Kaffeeklatsch boskone.org/program/sche...
