Convincing you to buy this book for every man in y Convincing you to buy this book for every man in your life. A reviewer said so. #WeAretheBeasts "I loved it. Would highly recommend it to everyone, specifically to men. As a woman I felt deeply understood and this is rare."
Throwback to my hike through the former region of Throwback to my hike through the former region of #Gevaudan while researching the unsolved mystery of the #beastofgevaudan for my newest novel, #WeAreTheBeasts. What an incredible hike along part of the #CaminodeSantiago and then along two other distance walking routes to #Mende. I stumbled on the laughing photo of me at the very end (just after I got into my hotel room) and damn, I'm so grateful I get to do things like hike through France and write books. Thanks to all my readers for making it possible. ❤️

Did I mention that I was a guest on my FAVORITE po Did I mention that I was a guest on my FAVORITE podcast of all time to hear the just-as-rad-as-advertised @margaretkilljoy explain the history of the revolutionary song Bella Ciao? You can find the episodes in the Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff podcast feed (wherever you listen to podcasts). And if you like the podcast, I also highly recommend the episodes on gay resistance to the Nazis, the Civil Civil War War, Haymarket, and the Jane Collective. Anyway, serendipitously, the podcast episodes actually went up the week I was in Italy with my bestie. This little sign was painted by a famous sign-maker in Napoli for me and is now propped up in my office by my books. Thanks again to @coolzonemedia @margaretkilljoy @sophie_rae_of_sunshine for having me. Now, all of y'all: go download the eps and join me in having Bella Ciao forever stuck in my head.

I just finished listening to WE ARE THE BEASTS on I just finished listening to WE ARE THE BEASTS on audio for the first time and wow, @imanijadepowers really brought it to life with an excellent epilogue by @grahamhalstead. Thank you so much to my audio team. I kept thinking "holy shit, did I write that?" because y'all added so much nuance and personality with the narration. ABOUT WE ARE THE BEASTS Deaths and disappearances pile up as a mysterious beast stalks the French countryside and two girls seize an unlikely opportunity that just might save them all—or serve them up on a platter. Step into this chilling, historical horror inspired by the unsolved mystery of the Beast of Gévaudan. When a series of brutal, mysterious deaths start plaguing the countryside and whispers of a beast in the mountains reach the quiet French hamlet of Mende, most people believe it’s a curse—God’s punishment for their sins. But to sixteen-year-old Joséphine and her best friend, Clara, the beast isn’t a curse. It’s an opportunity. For years, the girls of Mende have been living in a nightmare—fathers who drink, brothers who punch, homes that feel like prisons—and this is a chance to get them out. Using the creature’s attacks as cover, Joséphine and Clara set out to fake their friends’ deaths and hide them away until it’s safe to run. But escape is harder than they thought. If they can’t brave a harsh winter with little food… If the villagers discover what they’re doing… If the beast finds them first... Those fake deaths might just become real ones.
About 15 years ago, this little fuzzbucket saved m About 15 years ago, this little fuzzbucket saved me. I was in the throes of the worst depression of my life, struggling to feel anything about anything, going through the motions. And then I met her. And I loved her instantly. And happiness broke through the numbness with a promise that things could get better. Every day I got up and did the things I needed to do to survive because of her. I walked through the darkness because of her. I found the end of that tunnel because of her. Amidst other growing health issues, about a year and a half ago, she started having seizures and recently they worsened - coming much closer together, much more often. A few weeks ago, the doctor (gently) told me that if we didn't get the seizures under control, I could lose her. So I booked a professional photo shoot. Because there are no guarantees of how long I get to keep this precious creature in my life and my arms. She has since stabilized on her medication, and she's currently doing very well. But I am so grateful for these photos, this tiny moment captured forever. This relationship between person and dog that has changed me and will continue to change me. Luna, I thought about dedicating a book to you, but since you can't read and probably would prefer chicken treats to accolades, I will just promise this: More chicken treats. Moments in your favorite sun spot. And love for as long as you'll stay to take it. Thank you to @furrydogstudio.
