Before we begin, now that I definitely have your attention, I want to preface that I’m talking about sex in horror with this post. Although a lot of writers have horror elements, we won’t wander into True Blood or Anita Blake or Dresden territory (if I do it’ll be really quick, I swear), because technically … More Women in Horror: Let’s Talk About Sex
Now that I have your attention… So I’m sitting on my couch taking a break from working on a manuscript. I’ve avoided working on this post and others like it all day, but after getting other things crossed off the to-do list (and some copious chocolate), I’ve decided I’m going to go for it. I’ve … More Women in Horror: Getting Naked
So one of the questions I’ve been asked off and on, whether on Twitter or at panels I’ve mediated on the topic of women in horror is one that slightly surprises me. “Is there really a need to even address the need for recognizing women in the horror genre? There really isn’t a problem, is … More Women and Horror: Is There a Problem or is it Just the Genre?
Rie Sheridan Rose was kind enough to put together some words about horror, and what a collection of words she’s put together! I love it when people are so enthusiastic about their passion for writing, but also the darker genres. It’s nice to find like-minded gals who aren’t afraid to say they love writing horror! … More Women and Horror: Rie Sheridan Rose
I wanted to take a look at another type of gal who we find in some horror stories and movies. By innocents I don’t necessarily mean victims. These are the women who are a little more reactionary. Maybe they’re prey to whatever is going on, maybe the events help them to find a stronger part … More Women in Horror: Innocents
I wanted to take a moment to share some things that I’ve been doing around the web – you know me: busy, busy! 🙂 First I want to thank the amazing Sumiko Saulson for having me on her site for an interview in her own Women in Horror Month Recognition series. I’m really flattered and … More Interviewed for Women in Horror Month and a FREE short!
Today’s guest blogger is the incredible Sumiko Saulson. After taking a look at her site, I’m really excited to read her work. Quite honestly, I think she’s onto something here. In my family we have the story of how my mother was sat on by a clown while she was pregnant with me, and for … More Women in Horror: Sumiko Saulson: How to Turn Your Daughter Into a Horror Writer
Today I wanted to share an excerpt from Siobhan Kinkade’s fabulous book Loki’s Game! After her really savvy and intelligent guest post, I thought it would be fun to see how that translated into the actual story. (As a heads up, there is a little bit of language in the excerpt, so just be aware if … More Excerpt: Loki’s Game by Siobhan Kinkade
Mythology. Romance. Intrigue. They’re all awesome parts of this really unique book, and I’m proud to be part of the Loki’s Game tour! And it’s not just because Siobhan would smack me if I said otherwise. Seriously, this is an amazing book, and it’s one that you should check out right now. First, let’s take … More Loki’s Game by Siobhan Kinkade: Official Blog Tour
I’ve known Jondi for a long time. We went to school together, sang in a Madrigal choir together, fed pigeons in Krakow together…she is one awesome gal. Not only that, but she definitely was one of the few who “got” my love of dark and subversive genre work early on. I’m so excited that I’ve … More Women and Horror: Jondi Schmitt-Soper
