Mad love for this cover for Pam Kowolski is a Monster designed by Scott Cole — I could not love it harder. Pre order the hardback from Raw Dog Press— rawdogscreaming.com/books/pam-kowo…

This was so good! A fun, fast-paced thriller with delicious characters. I loved living inside Rosie Lachlan’s head; at times I wasn’t sure if she was the hero or about to become the villain. There was a twist in this that blew my mind. Read it!

I never find my books in used bookstores, and despair that my books aren’t popular enough to produce secondhand jetsam. Today my husband finds this and I immediately think, “So they hated it.” The mind of a fiction writer never tires of inventing imaginary hardships 🙃

Quirky, intelligent, mercurial & colossal--THE PALEONTOLOGIST by Luke Dumas is more than just a fuzzy love affair w/Cretaceous ceratopsians. It's fossils, dread, horror & fear. You'll totally dig it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #BookReview #amReading #Thrillers #Books goodreads.com/review/show/73…

I’m thrilled to be joining Joshua Moehling at Mysterious Galaxy Bookstore on March 20 to discuss his new novel, A LONG TIME GONE, the third in his USA Today bestselling Ben Packard series. If you’re in San Diego, come hear us chat mystery/thrillers, gay rep, and missing siblings!

Hit 50K words on book four this morning. This is the wildest, most action-packed, mostly gleefully violent thing I’ve ever written—maybe will ever write. I love a slow-burn mystery, but this is not that!

They say publishing is a lot of waiting and then everything happens at once. It’s true. This morning I saw my cover for NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD (obsessed with it!!!), signed a contract, got paid for something else, and tonight I have an author event with Joshua Moehling. WTF!

Next up to read, The Paleontologist by Luke Dumas! I got really excited to pick this one up since it's mystery and fossils, which is my entire personality. This is me in book form, I hope I like me ;p

Stoked to announce that my beachy body horror story, “Beachcomber’s Ear,” will be published in DREAD COAST: SoCal Horror Tales this summer. Honored to be part of this awesome lineup of mostly San Diego-based writers helping to raise money for those affected by the LA fires!

Thank you so much, Megan! As a fellow dino nerd, I completely agree—and name-dropping my favorites was one of the most fun parts of writing the book.
