If you're a library reader, print copies of Little White Flowers are available to borrow in more than 30 libraries in 11 states. (Note: since LWF is in hoopla as well as some Libby libraries, there are simply too many libraries that offer it electronically for me to catalog, which is why this guide only includes print books.) Here is a list of the libraries that I know carry print copies of Little White Flowers with links to their respective catalogs. Note that it is likely i

March is Women in Horror Month, a much-needed celebration of women's contributions to the horror genre. Despite the historical association between horror and masculinity, women have played a pivotal role in the genre from the outset. (If you want to learn more about women's contributions to horror and speculative fiction, I highly recommend the book Monster, She Wrote by Lisa Kröger and Melanie R. Anderson.) There are some fantastic events going on online this month to upli

In January's newsletter, I announced that Little White Flowers is now available at The Briar Patch in Bangor, ME.

In my Print Library Locator post, I mentioned that it is difficult to find all of the libraries that carry a particular book due to the lack of a universal library catalog. This is doubly so for digital library holdings. Before we get into the library list, I do want to provide a brief explanation of why this is. However, if you just want to skip to the library locator, feel free to. Libraries provide ebooks using two different models: the purchase model and the cost per che

“I don’t often call books flawless, but when it comes to Little White Flowers, there is no better word to describe it. It is atmospheric, relatable, painful, and made for this forever fan of Stephen King’s Children of the Corn and Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery.” I am excited to see how the story unfolds in the rest of the series.” —Sage Moon, HWA Notable Works Review Little White Flowers was recently reviewed by Sage Moon in a Horror Writer's Association Notable Works Review

On Friday, October 24th, I visited Little White Flowers at the Old Town Public Library in Old Town, Maine.
