I’m publishing a Halloween serialized horror story this month. Two new chapters go out on my newsletter every Friday.
If you wanna read a story that’s creature feature, nightmares, sapphic, anti-capitalist, and feminine rage, you need to be following along.
The first two installments are out now. The third installment lands tomorrow, so you have time to catch up. And the conclusion lands Friday, October 23rd.
👻 October is here and so is the third annual Halloween Special, a free serialized horror story by yours truly. The first two parts of “In Dreams” are available at my newsletter.
Two new parts will release every Friday in October.
It’s a creature feature, involves the nature of nightmares, and has a sapphic relationship.
You can subscribe to the Weaver’s Deep Thoughts newsletter to receive new installments directly in your inbox on Fridays. Link in the comments.
In the first episode of my interview with southern Appalachian horror author and poet, Andrew K. Clark, we talk about his stomping grounds of Asheville, North Carolina. Clark’s writings showcase his home territory as a character in and of itself, so we start our interview there.
Clark has a new novel, Hollow Folk, releasing on Tuesday, September 29th, 2026. Be sure to check it out and pre-order or snatch it up on release day.
In the next episode, Clark will discuss how he believes poetry can make us better fiction authors. Stay tuned for the next episodes to drop in the coming days.
Further along this interview series, Clark and I discuss Christian fundamentalism at length, of which we were both raised but are no longer members of. So be sure to stay tuned for the whole interview of Andrew K. Clark as I trickle out the episodes.

Introducing our take on Nancy Drew! Thanks to artist Jamie Hahn for collaborating with me on this artwork and helping bring my take on Nancy Drew to life.
It’s summer 1959, she’s discovering she may be gay, and she’s solving a brutal small town murder in this horror mystery novella. And there’s a werewolf on the prowl…
Also, a shoutout to Grace, my editor, for letting us use her likeness to create the look of Nancy Drew.
This September I’ll be going back to my old hometown, Rolla, Missouri, where I grew up in the 90s, to read from my queer YA sci-fi horror comedy short story “Blood Frequency” and doing a Q&A. My story takes place in that town during the 90s. And the event is hosted by the local LGBTQ+ group.
It’s sort of surreal to think about it. But a lot of good work has been done these past few years in my old hometown to be more inclusive and kind. Doing something like this there in the 90s would have been unheard of.
In preparation for this event, I’ve created an Events page on the website with details and a link to the Facebook Event. In the future, I’ll be posting all events I do to that page.
📚 Already up to 70+ downloads and still growing. There’s still plenty of time today for more folks to get their alien paws on a free ebook of my queer YA sci-fi horror comedy Blood Frequency. 🌈 👽
And don’t forget to browse and find other good stories from other authors. I went through and got a handful just a bit ago. My TBR is a mountain of good intentions.
I forgot to post this earlier, but I recently picked up this Nancy Drew book from the 1980s. Not gonna lie, I mostly picked it up for the fabulous cover but the plot sounds fun too.
Check it out:
It’s time for a book cover reveal! This is the wholly original cover for my queer YA comedy horror sci-fi short story called Blood Frequency.
If you previously bought the ebook, that was released last Thanksgiving, I’ll be updating it for free with the new cover. And I’ll be releasing a paperback version in the near future as well with this lovely cover.
I’m so happy Jamie Hahn could help me bring to life this weird alien creature I wrote in the story and with an old VHS rental vibe.
If you look closely at the fake movie credits, you may recognize a few names. This was my way of shouting out other indie artists and authors.
And… on July 18, I’ll be participating in the Midsummer Night’s Scream event by making the Blood Frequency ebook available for free — with the new cover and all!

The first draft of my Nancy Drew horror mystery novella cover art work arrived yesterday. I’ve made notes and sent them back. Y’all this is so exciting. It looks fabulous and will continue to improve. Can’t wait to share it with y’all in the near future.
I’ll be participating in the Midsummer Night’s Scream book event by giving away free ebook copies of my short queer YA comedy sci-fi horror story called “Blood Frequnecy.” Mark your calendars for July 18! 🌈 👽
Other authors will be involved in this event as well across Threads and Instagram either with discounted works or free ones.
With the whole Sony PlayStation “no more games ownership” crap, it seems like a good time to remind people I’ve created a “library” on my newsletter where I’m building up a collection of short stories and poetry across genres. These are free and DRM-free ebooks from a diverse group of authors and poets. Meaning, you can download them and keep them forever. No license, no subscription. Just save them somewhere safe and back them up.
