Escaping the Storm update.
The cover is done. The manuscript is formatted, but still needs a quick proof before I upload and order a test copy. That may not happen until Monday, but I’ve learned to never say never.
Stay tuned, kids. Here and at ShaneKroetsch.com, something I don’t share enough.
Please join me in welcoming our featured author for January 2026, James Lurid, and his novel, Cold Keep Reprisal!

We’ve got something special (and festive) for the December 2025 edition of Frank’s Haunted Book Society!
Welcome Marcus Hawke, and his novel You Can’t Take It With You!

I added something special to my archive.
I reached out to my local library after seeing old copies of my books on the shelf, so offered to replace them with updated copies. So, I was able to get the old books back, all marked up with use and Marigold Library System stickers. They make me smile.
Read. Edit. Write. Read. Repeat.
I know it’s only the 5th, but I’m on schedule. That goes for reading for Frank’s Haunted Book Society, for the final draft of Escaping the Storm before it goes off for edit, and beta reading a friend’s book, among other things.
I signed up for the NYC Midnight Scary Story Challenge. The maximum word count is 400 words.
First draft? 536 words. Somehow I got it down to 409 words. Now after a few minor changes it’s up to 428 words… Good thing I’ve still got a few hours to work on it.
