  This is my   Insecure Writers Support Group   post for October 2024. Alex's awesome co-hosts this month  are:  Nancy Gideon,   Jennifer Lane, Jacqui Murray  & Natalie Aguirre! Please stop by their blogs and say thank you .  💻💻💻💻💻 I've got news! But first, this month's question... Ghost stories fit right in during this month. What's your favorite classic ghostly tale? Tell us about it and why it sends chills up your spine. I don't read or watch much scary stuff, because I don't enjoy being scared. If a movie is dark with things jumping out and startling me, I'll shut it off. In 1979, there was a movie titled When a Stranger Calls that creeped anyone of babysitting age the heck out. This was in the days of landlines, when many phones were still rotary dial. It's not a ghost story, but I'd have to list it as my scariest. In keeping with the Halloween theme... This month is the 7th anniversary of FULL DARK: A Benefit Anthology ! This colle...

This is my Insecure Writers Support Group post for November. Alex's awesome co-hosts this month are:  Jemi Fraser,   Kim Lajevardi,   L.G Keltner,   Tyrean Martinson,   and   Rachna Chhabria! Please stop by their blogs and say thank you .  November 4 question:  Albert Camus once said, “The purpose of a writer is to keep civilization from destroying itself.”  Flannery O’Conner said, “I write to discover what I know.” Authors across time and distance have had many reasons to write.  Why do you write what you write?

Can you believe it's been three years since  FULL DARK was published?  I can't.  Since then, the book has earned several 5-star reviews, gotten a face lift (thank you, Carrie Butler!), and has generated over $200 in donations to the Gary Sinise Foundation . Thank you, readers! To celebrate, we've put the ebook on sale for $1.99. If you've been wanting to add it to your TBR, now's the time. Encourage anyone who enjoys creepy, suspenseful stories to grab a copy soon!

What do authors do when they're stuck at home? They write and dust off when-I-have-time projects. The FULL DARK anthology authors and I decided to give the book a new cover. Author Carrie Butler was kind enough to make and donate a new one. She did an awesome job, don't you think?

Time is running out to get FULL DARK for 99c.  The October e-book sale will ending soon.  FULL DARK is available for Kindle & Nook .  Proceeds benefit veterans and first responders.
