I'm having a blast at StokerCon 2026 in Pittsburgh! So many friends new & old who love horror and storytelling. I found my people! The panels are enlightening, and the Final Frame film festival was a special highlight. Just a few pics from my adventures so far. #author #horror

I'm saddened to hear of the passing of my literary colleague Sandra Murphy. I was privileged to work with Sandy when she edited a comedy-crime story of mine last fall, and she proved a courteous, personable & intuitive partner on that project. And such a gifted editor! RIP Sandy.

Russia is the first country to lose a battle entirely to robots.

Zelenskyy: “For the first time in the war, an enemy position was captured entirely by ground robotic systems and drones. No infantry. A robot entered the most dangerous area instead of a soldier & captured it.”

A Ukrainian soldier who returned from the frontline is playing with his son.

This is what Ukrainians are fighting for - for the right to exist, to raise their families, to love, and to love.

As an aside, an unspoken rule in English known as ‘ablaut reduplication’ means we never dally-dilly on the way to a game of pong-ping while the bells go dong-ding. Nor, sadly, do we ever eat a KatKit.
