For Halloween this year, I did this video telling some of my scariest author stories, Gentle Reader.
Shiver in horror as I reveal the worst book tour ever, disastrous adventures in airport bathrooms, being orphaned, abandoned, stranded, and that time when hundreds of books went missing.
Are you ready for the fear and terror?
Well, tea will help you cope, of course. Although… did it help me? Watch to find out!

- Want more of the horror behind publishing? I only usually complain to Chirrup members, because I don’t like to be publicly negative (not outside of Halloween). Sign up here.
- Not into newsletters? Get only new releases by following Gail on Amazon or BookBub!
- Coop de Book for October 2019 is Bloodlust & Bonnets by Emily McGovern (comic). I bit spendy but it will make a GREAT Christmas gift.

Quote of the Day:
Perhaps cats get into boxes because they are, in fact, just like phone booths installed with cat-to-cat communication.
Hello? How’s your day going? Knock any good things off tables?
We got some nasty smelling feet round these parts, you should come visit sometime.
Well, I have been thinking about bolting. Or maybe just standing in the doorway indecisively for an hour.
Sounds fun. Well, gotta go lick my butt now.
