As ever I was too busy in the moment to take many pictures at StokerCon, but I love being with my horror family. Thanks for being so enthusiastic about The Secret Attic—especially those who came to the reading and got to hear me make crow noises. 😂

Thank you so much, North Texas, for showing up despite torrential rain and downed trees for The Secret Attic launch party at Talking Animals Books.

This will go down as one of the most memorable book events I'll do. Because right as we were ready to start, the power went out. Bookseller Ashton was on it. Candles on the table. Small, flameless candles for every reader. Suddenly a regular book chat became spooky stories in the dark.

The power came back as the signing wrapped up (right as we started to truly miss the air-conditioning).

Big thank yous to Ashton and Katy from Talking Animals Books, Shaun Hamill for the wonderful conversation, and all the readers who joined us! I signed extra copies of The Secret Attic and The Farmhouse for the bookstore. So swing by and score a copy.

Up next: StokerCon! See you tomorrow, Pittsburgh!

THE SECRET ATTIC IS OUT NOW!

Finally! You can meet Addison, venture into her late MIL's home, and unearth the secrets in its stuffed rooms.

I hope you all love this book as much as I do. It's now officially available at all your favorite book retailers, so hit up your store, snag your ebook, or audiobook and enjoy the ride!

🐦‍⬛ ABOUT THE SECRET ATTIC 🐦‍⬛

The past isn't just haunting her—it's hunting her.

Addison Lowe knew her mother-in-law despised her, but inheriting Barb's massive estate after her death feels less like closure and more like a trap. Barb's hoarded rooms aren't just filled with clutter—they're filled with secrets. And it's Addison's job to unearth them while Luke grieves the loss of the mother he could never let go of.

But Luke grows stranger with every box they open—restless, secretive, cruel in ways Addison has never seen. And the house itself seems to breathe with Barb's presence. Ivy claws through the windows. A murder of crows drops trinkets at her feet. Dolls stare from the shadows, labeled with names Addison doesn't recognize—until she does. One doll bears the name Cassidy Warren, a girl who vanished years ago. And the more Addison uncovers, the more Barb's legacy seems tied to the streak of "bad luck" that has haunted Rockside Bay for decades.

The deeper Addison digs, the clearer it some secrets were meant to stay buried. And the husband she thought she knew may be hiding the darkest one of all…
