This is much more than just "third in a franchise" - A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE cements Lupita as a horror icon & is a brilliant fever dream on mortality. Give her all the prizes! At times it reminded me of 28 DAYS LATER, CHILDREN OF MEN, THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS. And a shoutout to Octavia Butler!

So, a lot has happened on the health front. No final answers yet, but what we've learned so far needs to be followed up, & fast. For that, I need at least $11,000 (to go to $55,000 overall) for blood tests, CT scans, consultant fees & more. Please donate & share!

These poor families have been through so much, and the conduct of Uvalde police has been horrifying -- not just during the shooting, but in the harassment of the families afterward. Truly vile.

I am living proof that there is an audience that wants Black LGBTQ+ books. I am living proof that it's never too late to follow your dreams. I started this publishing journey at 35 and here I am an Amazon bestseller.

A friend of our family has a daughter who suffered a freak playground accident and now is trying to raise funds for medical bills.

Thank goodness Marley is recovering at home, but any contribution would be a huge help to this family during a trying time.

How it started. Our son, Jason, was a good sport and acted in my book trailers for Ghost Summer ("Patient Zero") & Devil's Wake. How it's going. Jason is now 6'5 and looks like a model - and he wants to do work as an extra this summer, so we're signing him up with Central Casting 😃
