Welcome to the bonus preview episode for On the Shelf: A Writer Reads. In this episode, I introduce myself, talk about who I am, and then get right down to business discussing my 2023 Goodreads reading challenge, my recent book haul at Arisia Con in Boston, and give a quick look ahead at future episodes, including my first New Book Release guest, author Nicole Givens Kurtz. If you enjoy reading and are looking for a conversation about reading books, acquiring books, and the intersection of reading and writing, then pull up a chair and a notebook (to write down all the titles for that TBR list!)


In this show, I mention:

Tea & Absinthe: My favorite geeky tea shop!

Arisia Con: My very first Con ever (back in 2008); still going strong!

Crone Girls Press: My indie horror micropress specializing in Horror Anthologies.

Falstaff Books: The Misfit Toys of Fiction. I'm currently reading horror novels and novellas for their brand-new horror imprint, Falstaff Dread.

Cold Run: Book 1 of the Rick Keller Project: My werewolf secret agent series!

Little Monster Detectives - In the Darkness: Check out your local game store and ask if they can get you a copy!

Nightcrawlers: A Splatterpunk Roleplaying Game: Anyone want to join me for a game?
