Guest Post: Loren Rhoads

Today we have a guest post from my friend Loren Rhoads promoting her new book This Morbid Life. Enjoy, Near Escapes by Loren Rhoads When I first moved to San Francisco, there was a little one-woman tour company that arranged guides for tours of the local cemeteries, went “backstage” at the grand historic hotels, slipped…

I Feel Horror-ific!

Let’s face it. Last year I didn’t write ANYTHING but my Ladies of Horror flash pieces. I did do the bookmarks for my Etsy shop, and made a few sales there, but on the whole, it was a wasted year of binge-watching and take out. THIS year, however, things are looking WAAAAAY better. For one…
