This week has been a productive one, and it's really exciting to see the progress I've made on Death by TBR Books Press. The updated version of Small Town Slasher has been formatted. I will do one more pass on it before the publication date, but ePubs are now being sent out! One benefit of the FIRST VICTIM TIER (or higher) is digital ARCs! So if you sign up for it, you can receive an eARC of both Small Town Slasher and Twisted Tales to Tell in the Night: Another Halloween Horror Anthology. If you are already a member, just message or email me and I'll send it over.

If you haven't heard, the third Twisted Tales is Yuletide Horror, and after making some changes and receiving more support, I was able to move the release date back to THIS November. That means the next anthology will have an open call, most likely this summer. I'll be sending out a separate email over the next few weeks asking FIRST VICTIM TIER (and higher) what subject they would be excited to see as an anthology. One of the perks of being part of a paid tier is being involved in publishing decisions. Vampires? Werewolves? Witches? Liminal Spaces? Slashers? There are so many options and ideas I have and I don't want to release one in an area that has already had an anthology recently.

In between doing all of that I did find time to read and watch things.

BOOKS I update my Storygraph (deathbytbrbooks more than my GR Stephanie Rose)
The Dorians by Nick Cutter
Molka by Monika Kim
The Fox and the Devil by Kiersten White

All of these kept me engaged in the story and that's the biggest trouble I have when reading.

Currently reading: Fabulous Bodies by Chuck Tingle and Tea You at the Altar by Rebecca Thorne

Next Up - I received an uncorrected bound manuscript of The Secret Lives of Zombie Wives by Barbara Truelove and I cannot WAIT to start it this weekend!
