Influenced by gothic: houses are their own character. In QUESTION NOT MY SALT, I based the house on my own typical TX suburban neighborhood. IN THE DOLLHOUSE WE ALL WAIT: a metastatic mansion of a predatory, parasitic little-girl villain. DRIFT: modern but naturalistic and airy.

Living spaces greatly reflect my characters. My haunted house story The Oily makes you wonder whether the house or the brother and sister are haunted, assuming any of them are. An entire island is cursed by horrid people in my novel Secrets and Lies.

The world is on fire. And things are hard.
Don't be the person who pisses in someone's cornflakes and then tells them it's raining.
Don't swipe at someone for existing or finding joy or being silly.
We need levity and care and snuggles and sweetness.
We need music and poetry and pet photos.

ALICE X PRINCESS DIARIES
I stole an invite to my uncle’s secret wedding because no one wanted to tell me the truth. Turns out my grandies are fae royalty (WTF?), and my actions alerted my insane sperm donor to my location - a secret Mum has been protecting for 15 years. AITA?

A demon hand holding a baseball at Fenway Park in Boston. Eerie smoke behind the hand. Light towers in the background. Mockup of book cover.
A Struggling Red Sox pitcher consents to a demonic possession to resurrect his fading career. But when a young super-fan succumbs to a mysterious illness, he discovers there’s more to the deal—and learns that the true cost of fame may be a choice between her soul & his own #BluePit #A #W #SP #H #PN
At the top is the text “Virgil Mora burns in Hell. It’s a pretty good job.” On a background of red and orange flame, a black and white silhouette with of a man with a suit and tie sitting at a shiny marble table that covers the entire lower half of the poster. A white silhouette of an angel with wings spread is standing behind them. In front of them is the title, glowing yellow, “Hell Is Work.” In the reflection on the table is the title reversed, the angel is in yellow not white and has a dripping halo. The businessman is reflected in red and has horns. At the bottom is the words “A novel by Zed Prospero”

My monthly offering for Writer Unboxed, in which I abandon the topic I'd meant to write about--the depiction of grief in fiction--for a far more immediate and necessary discussion of grief for Renée Nicole Good and all the things her killing renders so terrifyingly at risk. (Link in comments)

Think of scene building like creating a storyboard: frame by frame, you decide what the reader must see, feel, and understand. Instead of letting the scene meander, you build toward the decisive high moment and character change one “segment” at a time.
Insight from C.S. Lakin.
West Wing back on Netflix, Jacki. 🇺🇸
All my recent books went from hardcover to trade paperback and almost all of my backlist in mass market has now migrated to trade. The role of mass market paperbacks is now handled almost entirely by ebooks. I'm okay with this but it is the end of an era.

To Kill A Mockingbird Winner of the PULITZER PRIZE HARPER LEE
It’s #BannedBooksWeek and yes, they banned To Kill a Mockingbird because it “makes people uncomfortable.”
That’s the point!
Books that expose racism and injustice SHOULD make you squirm. Silencing truth is cowardice.
Read what they fear.📚
So Roy Walley from Walley World was actually Roy Disney? Nicely played John Hughes.
