Hey, look at this – I’m already doing better with posts this year compared to last year. At some point I’ll start posting consistently and I’ll be able to stop apologizing. This is a pretty quick one, though – just popping in to share my C2E2 panel and signing schedule and to show you the absolutely gorgeous cover of my upcoming novel, THE PLACE WHERE THEY BURIED YOUR HEART.

First, my schedule! This is from the C2E2 website, and they goofed slightly on the Friday signing. Obviously I can’t be in two places at once due to the constraints of time and space, so the signing will take place at 1pm AFTER the panel. I hope to see many of you on Friday or Saturday!

Now, for the moment I’ve been waiting for – the absolutely beautiful cover of THE PLACE WHERE THEY BURIED YOUR HEART. It will be out on November 4, 2025.

ISN’T IT GORGEOUS?!? I asked the team for a retro horror vibe and they really came through.

Here’s a little blurb for you:

The Place Where They Buried Your Heart

A woman must confront the evil that has been terrorizing her street since she was a child in this gripping haunted house novel from the national bestselling author of The House That Horror Built and Good Girls Don’t Die.

“On an otherwise ordinary street in Chicago, there is a house. An abandoned house where, once upon a time, terrible things happened. The children who live on this block are told by their parents to stay away from that house. But of course, children don’t listen. Children think it’s fun to be scared, to dare each other to go inside.

Jessie Campanelli did what many older sisters do and dared her little brother Paul. But unlike all the other kids who went inside that abandoned house, Paul didn’t return. His two friends, Jake and Richie, said that the house ate Paul. Of course adults didn’t believe that. Adults never believe what kids say. They thought someone kidnapped Paul, or otherwise hurt him. They thought Paul had disappeared in a way that was ordinary, explainable.

The disappearance of her little brother broke Jessie’s family apart in ways that would never be repaired. Jessie grew up, had a child of her own, kept living on the same street where the house that ate her brother sat, crouched and waiting. And darkness seemed to spread out from that house, a darkness that was alive—alive and hungry.”
