October is a time for spooks and scares and… new releases! It’s been ten years in the making, but I’m finally sharing my collection of thirteen thrilling short stories inspired by phobias with the reading world. Fear is a complex emotion.

Happy Birthday to me! For those of you who have the day off work (teachers and mail carriers, mostly), YOU’RE WELCOME! I encourage you to eat cake today. I’ll be eating cake, and even though we’re far apart, it will be kind of like we are together. No presents, please.

Welcome to Literary Mary Chats, the August edition. I met this month’s guest at the DeKalb Public Library Author Fair. I’m embarrassed to admit it (as a writer) but I did not have a notebook to help pass the time. Thankfully, and fortuitously, this lovely woman in vintage garb kindly passed me a gift bag.
