So excited to be a part of @PitheadChapel’s new issue! If you’re a fan of the Gothic genre, you might like my story, “You Will Not Choose Your Own Adventure.” Can’t wait to read all the other pieces!

This is Pepper Jack. He’s a lovely dog I met in Harlem, New York today. He’s landed on tough times and was surrendered to the shelter.
I thought it would be lovely to use Twitter to find him a forever home. This is his story, he’s a gentle soul… (1/6) 🧵

I think all the costumes from The Love Witch were flooded and ruined. I'm going to check tomorrow. Years and years of work destroyed. Crossing my fingers that some of them survived. 💔

Excited to announce that I have received a one-year grant from The Recovery Hub for American Women Writers! Over the next year, I will begin building a website devoted to the mystery/suspense writer Elisabeth Sanxay Holding. 1/

Holding published over 20 novels and 200 short stories in her lifetime (!), and she was well-respected among her cohort. (Raymond Chandler called her “the top suspense writer of them all,” and Hitchcock was a fan.) And yet today, hardly anyone has heard of her. 2/3

As of today, there are about half a dozen books being sold on Amazon, with my name on them, that I did not write or publish. Some huckster generated them using AI. This promises to be a serious problem for the book publishing world. janefriedman.com/i-would-rat…

PSA: It's a novel, not a "fiction novel" b/c a novel already IS fiction. You're not Ken, getting away with "mojo dojo casa house."

Folks! My debut short story is coming out soon in @IdahoReview, and I couldn't be more thrilled! If you're into creepy midwest gothic babysitting stories (can we make this a genre?), get ready.

Teaching Willa Cather’s “Paul’s Case” for the first time this week. As my beloved Grandma Alice would have said, Jesus H. Christ on a cracker! Is this story perfect, or am I imagining it?
