Silent me means a busy me, but here's an update on a not-so-silent project, SILENT NIGHTMARES, co-edited with @chuckpalahniuk for Saga Press, an imprint of Simon & Schuster. This incredible anthology will include illustrations by @OrionZangaraArt, so here's a teaser.

IT'S THE END IF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT (current book I'm reading, and also the state of the planet), but my copy is bound UPSIDE-DOWN! Is this by design, or did the printer know I like things a little backward? Anyone else see the same?

The first two volumes of YOU, HUMAN return to regular eBook prices soon, so you have the rest of this weekend to snag them discounted. Lots of copies moving, which is always nice and supports future books.

It's a good day to support independent press and to remember that our fight for freedom is far from over.

I am late to the game, but finally going in. If anything, this will be my favorite part of this movie, a simple splash screen giving credit where credit's due (to Paul Tremblay). And it's @MNightShyamalan, so it will be pretty and atmospheric and other things.

A friendly reminder to always do a little research / reading before sending queries or proposals. There's always a little wiggle room when becoming friends or project buddies, but there's only so much wiggle room to spare.

It's always a wonderful feeling paying professional rates to writers. Paid out $7,000 in advances for SILENT NIGHTMARES this week (10 cents per word), and $6,000 for YOU, HUMAN before that. Plus illustrator / cover artists. Gotta pay them too. Yes, anthologies are expensive when
