Voices Echoing in Your Head

At the end of March, I returned to the Visited by Voices vidcast series hosted by Lorne Dixon, to participate in the first VbV Writer's Roundtable and it was a pretty amazing conversation! I chatted and laughed for over an hour with a diverse group of horror writers, all of whom I hold in high esteem: Ramsey Campbell, Brian Hodge, Mary SanGiovanni, Mark Allan Gunnells, doungjai gam & Lorne Dixon himself. It was kind of like being on a panel discussion at an international horror convention... or more like a chummy roundtable. Check it out. We talked about so many…

Stoker-Inspired Special Spring ’21 Update

Instigating with Brain Squalls Podcast

Over the holidays, I appeared on the Brain Squalls podcast as their first guest. Every episode of the podcast -- run by horror author EV Knight and her partner Matt Daigh -- is a creativity experiment, in which the two of them come up with prompts for story or art ideas and then create story lines and structures "live" as they pursue the possibilities. It's a lot of fun. And when I was in the mix, bringing a little Instigation to the table, it was a lot of weird. I had a great time daydreaming on the dark side with…
