We’re now less a month away from the release of The Haunted Houses She Calls Her Own, and I seriously couldn’t be more thrilled! This is my first new book in just over two years, and it’s my first collection in nine years, so I can’t believe this is real.
*insert screams of maniacal horror joy*
What’s even more exciting is that I’ll be hitting the road for this book. That’s right: I’m going on a book tour!
And just where will I be appearing? All over! NYC, San Diego, Doylestown, Atlanta, Pittsburgh (of course!), and a couple virtual events too!
First up, my release party for the collection will be on Tuesday, April 14th at 7pm ET at Riverstone Books in Pittsburgh. I’ll be in conversation with the fabulous Sara Tantlinger, and we’ll be talking all about horror, fiction collections, and plenty more. This is the third book launch I’ve done at Riverstone Books, and I’m beyond thrilled to be returning! The store has been such a true supporter of my work over the years, and that means the world to me!
Then, on Wednesday, April 15th at 10pm ET (7pm PT), Sara and I will be teaming up once again, this time as the guests on Story Hour. You can tune in from anywhere as we each read our short fiction. I’ll definitely be reading from my new collection, and I’m secretly hoping Sara will be reading from her collection, Cyanide Constellations, which is a recent Bram Stoker Award nominee!
The following week, on Monday, April 20th at 7pm ET, I will be back on Night Time Logic with host Daniel Braum. Daniel has been such a huge supporter of my writing for years now, and it’s always such a joy to talk to him about the horror genre, especially since I’m such a fan of his work too. So please join us for this virtual event wherever you might roam!
Later that week, I’ll be traveling to Doylestown Bookshop in Doylestown, PA for an event on Wednesday, April 22nd at 6:30pm. I’ll be in conversation with the fantastic A.C. Wise, which is so exciting. I’m such a huge fan of A.C. and her work, so it’s always wonderful to talk with her. I also got a chance to stop into Doylestown Bookshop last fall, and it’s such a lovely bookstore. I’m just pinching myself that I get to do an event there!
Then, the next evening, I’ll be in Atlanta at Charis Books on Thursday, April 23rd at 7:30pm ET where I’ll be in conversation with E.R. Anderson. This is the only one of my events that will be both in person and virtual, so I’m absolutely thrilled that people outside of Atlanta can tune in! Charis Books has been such a tremendous supporter of my work, and this will be my third event with them since 2022 when Reluctant Immortals was released! Definitely stoked to be returning there next month!
At the end of the month, on Wednesday, April 29th, I’ll be making my very first appearance at The Twisted Spine in NYC. I’ll be in conversation with M. Jane Worma, and that event will start at 6pm ET. The Twisted Spine is such a fabulous horror bookstore, and I’ve been admiring their events from afar here in Pennsylvania, so I’m very happy to finally be heading to New York to visit!
And finally, I’ll be returning to the West Coast on Wednesday, May 13th at 7pm PT for an event at Mysterious Galaxy in San Diego. I’ll be in conversation with the awesome KC Grifant, and I’m looking so forward to our conversation. I’ve done two virtual events with Mysterious Galaxy before, but this will be my first time appearing at an in-store event!
So that’s my book tour for The Haunted Houses She Calls Her Own! Needless to say, I’m beyond excited to be doing so many events and visiting so many cities over the next couple months! In the meantime, please consider pre-ordering the collection either direct from my publisher or as part of the pre-order campaign through Riverstone Books! You can also order it from any of the bookstores listed above!
Happy reading!
