Enjoy the podcast here: https://talestoterrify.com/ Hello, Readers! Greetings from New Hampshire, where the fall foliage is in full riot, and it's officially way too cold to surf without a drysuit. It's been a pretty good week on the writing front. Witchbone Book #4 is humming along. I have a short story or two out there... Continue Reading →
https://www.novelnoctule.com/post/match-man-by-alex-norton Dear Readers, In December I decided to write a short story and submit it to a horror magazine that was taking holiday themed submissions, my first time doing such a thing.
