Essays on The Bewitching

The Bewitching, my novel of supernatural suspense, has been out for two weeks and I wrote two short pieces related to the novel.

The first one over at Crime Reads talks about suspense movies that I recommend for writers.

The second is at Patreon where I discuss technology in the late 1990s.

If you haven't read The Bewitching, check it out. If you loved it, tell others.
