@MargaretSefton @aijiang The Stoker Award finalists is a great place to start if you want to check out some great work: https://www.thebramstokerawards.com/front-page/the-2022-bram-stoker-awards-final-ballot/

Shameless self-promo: I have a story in the Mother: Tales of Love and Terror antho that’s up for Super Achievement this year, woo! That’s a really solid collection of stories, bias aside.

Never been to AWP. Love StokerCon and the #hwa tho. The horror community is, IMO, one of the best (but nothing compared to #codex, which really has my heart) <3

One of my stories was published last year in the anthology Mother: Tales of Love and Terror (Weird Little Worlds).

That antho just made the preliminary ballot for the Bram Stoker Award’s Superior Achievement in an Anthology!
Congrats Christi Nogle and Willow Dawn Becker as editors!!

(For those of you who don’t know, the Stoker awards are the most prestigious awards in horror fiction)

Like many, I recently closed my Twitter account and am searching for a comparable writing community. I write middle grade novels and short horror. My next book, The Case of the French Fry Phantom, will be out March 17.

Excuse my fumbling as I learn my way around here.

H.W.A. of ook Hoez With Attitude werden opgericht in '89 in Compton California en zullen bestaan tot '94.
Ze brengen een album uit dat niet het verhoopte succes heeft, en tekenen dan bij Ruthless Records van Eazy E.
Maar hun 2de slaat ook niet aan, ze zijn meer bekend van hun cameo in de clip van Eazy E's "Real Muthaphuckkin G's".

Wondering if I should join #HWA even though I do more writing for my #podcast than I do #horrorfiction these days...

Me reading my poem ‘The Interview’ for this year’s HWA Poetry Showcase is up now on the HWA’s website at horror.org, but I hate reading and look/sound horrible so I’m not linking it and no one go watch it lol

For #HWA #BramStokerAward nominations, I would be honored for a short fiction nom for “Night on Preston’s Bald” which is an Appalachian cosmic horror story! #horror #writer https://www.sitemaps.janusliterary.com/2022/08/30/j-dianne-dotson-night-on-prestons-bald/

I was one of the judges of the Historical Writers' Association non-fiction awards. The winner will be announced at a ceremony tonight. I am really looking forward to meeting them and all the excellent shortlisted entrants as well as other HWA members. #HWA
