Author/Musician/Wage Slave. General creative weirdo. Happily married. Sure, I like my day job fine, but I’d love to quit and go lie for a living. No DMs.

Book Release Day!

The Bad Fairy is available to order, finally! It’s been a long road with a lot of bumps, but it’s here. At 556 pages, it can also be used as a doorstop, a step for a high shelf, or a weight to hold down a rampaging toddler.

@VinnysCorner1 Anyone who says no never saw him play. He was great at everything. For me he’s top 5, and even arguably top 3. You also have to remember that without Bird and Magic it’s entirely possible that right now there would be no NBA.

[Scott Carpenter @kingofalmost]

@CountDraculaDB Either The Exorcist, Halloween, or Texas Chainsaw Massacre. If they don’t like those we probably can’t be friends anymore.

@ElChandler Looooooong. But I’ve broken them up into two or three separate books now, and it is writing surprisingly well.

@MalindaDetweil1 Duke Energy. We lost power for four hours today.

@worillessg I never know their personal lives, for the most part.

@SOOPLLC I think a lot of readers never think about the language choices the author made. Not just the what, but the why.

@SusanSavageLee1 I build my world as I write when it’s needed. Then I’ll keep notes as ideas occur to me of the expanding world, most of which will never see the page. They’ll at most inform other parts of the story without necessarily being spelled out.

@ThatEricAlper My son has been mishearing one of my songs for years. He thought the line “Beneath the waters lie” as “Beneath the waterslide.” Takes the piss out of a song about Cthulu, the Book of Revelations, and an Edgar Allan Poe poem.

@therlwrites Aside from the old Universal monsters my first horror movie I can remember was The Exorcist. I was six or seven.

@RossKneeDeep The rest of them.

@stephenRB4 Since I have no interesting response- 👍🏻

[Scott Carpenter @kingofalmost]

@theliamnissan Hope that means something good.

@Murph0matic @lyssasphere @QuestionAbyss Argh. This fucking place!

@MTGraveStudio I’m not handing my property over to anyone. If there’s a problem they should deal with it then, but not damn everyone.

[Scott Carpenter @kingofalmost]

@MTGraveStudio I still love the movie, but the soundtrack to Ladyhawke stands out in a way that music in a film should not.

[Scott Carpenter @kingofalmost]

@MTGraveStudio As long as they don’t buy up and destroy all the originals I’m fine with any remake. Some are good, some are better. Most aren’t. In some cases the remake inspires people who haven’t seen the original to go back and watch it, so that’s not a bad thing.

@stephenRB4 Congratulations!
