It’s always interesting when someone first discovers me through television but not my books. And then they learn I’ve written a book, they naturally ask what its title is – not realizing I’ve written well over 30 books at this point … and that doesn’t include the music I’ve done, the anthologies I’ve contributed to, or the decks & games I’ve designed. There is A LOT So, today, expect a series of reels, where I highlight the covers of as many of my books as I can. Most of these are still in print. The majority of them, if you can’t find them in your local bookstore, can be ordered through my website. #paranormal #bookstagram #authorsofinstagram #author #vampires #psychic #amwriting
First image of me at 51. Like most folks who are #GenX I’m shocked & amazed I’ve made it this far. What a wild ride the last half-century was. Let’s see what this second half has in store 🎉 #birthday #Capricorn #vampire
Sad news: we lost this beautiful boy at 4:44 am after a long struggle with cancer (I stayed with him & he passed in my arms). Farewell, dearest Remy, who loved everyone – human & animal – you ever met. Rest easy now the pain is gone. #RainbowBridge #MaineCoon #CancerSucks #RIP #memorial #ReacueCat
Once upon a time on stage … performing with URN years ago now. DJ Ian Nothing on bass to the viewer’s left, the late (and sorely missed!) Dominic St. Charles on guitars to the right. #music #metal #vampires #darkmetal #onstage #noir #goth #rip
A year in pictures: I turned 51 today (how?!?) Last year was tue big 5-0! Here are some highlights of photos from 2023 (a couple are taken behind-the-scenes at filming locations, in case you recognize some places) #GenX #birthday #yearinreview #2023 #capricorn #catsofinstagram #rescuecats #happybirthdaytome 🎂

Not sure if this is gonna work, but I wanted to collect all of the covers of (most) of my books. Never seems like a lot until I try to place an order for stock to ship from my store! #bookstagram #authorsofinstagram #authors #goth #paranormal #vampire
Memories: our sweet Maine Coon Remy with his best friend of all time, our neighbors’ gentle German shepherd, Gunner. Soon to be reunited. #RainbowBridge

My last publication of 2023 is the start of a project for the #NewYear In 2024 I’ll celebrate #Zine15 by publishing a new #zine on the 15th of every month – a different topic every time. And I’m kicking it off with the HAUNTED TOURIST GUIDE TO SPIRITS – concise definitions of a variety of spirits one might encounter in the field with illustrations by @princessfrick Use it as a reference on your next investigation or as inspiration for your next spooky story. It makes a fun game prop, too! Find the Haunted Tourist Guide on my @itchiogames account Darkheart Games 👻 #paranormal #zines #zinester #spooky #ghosts #gaming #folklore

Vampire books! It all started with the Psychic Vampire Codex, the first version of which was produced in 1994. This book was so influential to the development of the modern vampire community that the founder of Sacred Texts reached out to me directly & asked me to donate a copy to his database. Of course I did — freely and in perpetuity. You can also find a copy of the Vampire Ritual book there. #vampires #bookstagram #authorsofinstagram #psychic #paranormal #witchcraft #goth

Ozzie the Big, Ria the Little. Both glaring at the windows as if they could will away the cold. #catsofinstagram #rescuecat #catstagram #furbabies #winter
Ozzie has become fascinated with hard boiled eggs. Is it a food? Is it a toy? Why not both? 😹 #Caturday #RescueCat #TabbyCat #Catstagram #catsofinstagram

Music! If you’ve been a long time follower, you know I write and perform music as well. I’ve even been on an album that made a billboard top 10 list two years in a row (Winter’s Knight by @noxarcana01) – but I have provided lyrics and vocals for a couple of bands throughout the years. Here are the ones you can probably still find if you look. And if you listen to the reel with the sound up – that’s me singing in my Lisa Gerard homage, Ella Sheena 🎶 #goth #metal #darkmetal #folkmetal #paganmusic #vocalist #rock #operatic #ethereal
