Fourteen Top Horror Movies/Shows
With the days growing cooler and the leaves exploding with color, my daughter Jessica and I have been on a fire-in-the-fireplace, buttered-popcorn, horror-movie-watching binge. So, I’m sharing fourteen of my favorite horror movies and TV shows.
Where in the World Was Kristin?
It’s been six weeks since my last newsletter. I blame an amazing trip to Norway and massive amounts of editing. Totally worth it!
Writer’s Book Club – Pines
Pines, the first book in Blake Crouch’s Wayward Pines Trilogy, had me hooked the moment I started listening to it.
Critical Readers, Plus 99¢ Novels!
I finished a decent draft of The Runner and sent it to my five critical readers. More good news: The Devil Particle and The Vessel are now available for 99¢!
Writer’s Book Club – Sunrise on the Reaping
As a big Hunger Games fan, I was looking forward to Suzanne Collins’ latest addition to the series, Sunrise on the Reaping. Unfortunately, this book disappointed me.
Life Gets in the Way
Painting, decorating, and celebrating my new condo left little time for writing in June, but I did sneak in some outstanding writing events.
Writer’s Book Club – The Minority Report
Holy cow! Filmmakers adapted four of the five short stories Philip K. Dick’s The Minority Report and Other Classics into major motion pictures I love.
A Painful Evening With Shelby Van Pelt
I ventured into Milwaukee to see best-selling author Shelby Van Pelt, not realizing what a painful evening it would be.
Writer’s Book Club – Remarkably Bright Creatures
I enjoyed listening to the audio version of Shelby Van Pelt’s charming novel Remarkably Bright Creatures (narrated by Marin Ireland and Michael Urie). Then, halfway through the book, I didn’t want to keep listening because I didn’t want it to end.
