#HorrorWritersChat I'm ashamed to say that none of my characters (so far) are disabled per se.
I did just read a very cute book called the Lumbering Giants of Windy Pines where the MC is chair-bound, though!

Just a reminder that if you'd like to pre-order my #kidlit paranormal mystery THE STONE HOLLOW CIRCLE, you can do so directly though my Gumroad page.
I'll mail it to you myself like a one-man amazon, but less scummy 😆

I like to think that this isn't the best platform to hear about stuff with those words in it anyway. We have (trusted?) news outlets for that.

I don't love the "only people I follow can reply" feature. I understand that it stops bad actors from commenting, but does it now also close you off to new potential friends?

Bonus points for writing the books that *YOU* want to read! It's helpful since you'll be reading multiple drafts of it #kidlitchat
