It's available from @undertakerbooks.bsky.social . I wrote why THE SPIRIT ROOM is important to me--and why it may be meaningful for you too. https://ko-fi.com/post/Why-THE-SPIRIT-ROOM-X8Z5208TCT 📚💙 #BlackSky #ReadingHorror #Horror26 May 2026 19:21 +0000at://did:plc:fdrwpqyoeaktxbhalvb6pzwl/app.bsky.feed.post/3mmrpofzeo22hhttps://bsky.app/profile/nicolegkurtz.bsky.social/post/3mkaqs3c2lk2eIt's my book birthday! The Spirit Room is a different kind of Southern Gothic. It isn’t a ghost story collection. It’s a celebration of the Southern heart, the pride and persistence that keeps fighting no matter what pain it endures. https://undertakerbooks.com/products/the-spirit-room @undertakerbooks.bsky.social24 Apr 2026 14:36 +0000at://did:plc:fdrwpqyoeaktxbhalvb6pzwl/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkaqs3c2lk2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/nicolegkurtz.bsky.social/post/3mk27g6a4qk2yThanks @jordanconinc.bsky.social for the fantastic weekend!

I do love the worldbuilding in the kingdom and that of the birds who inhabit it. I love it so much. Funny how reading a manuscript after letting if marinate can change your perspective on your writing.13 Feb 2026 17:16 +0000at://did:plc:fdrwpqyoeaktxbhalvb6pzwl/app.bsky.feed.post/3meqz4qvghs2phttps://bsky.app/profile/nicolegkurtz.bsky.social/post/3me2i4h7sek2iI'm looking for those who produce #horror, #SF, and #fantasy podcasts. As a publisher, I have authors who are looking for locations to promote, discuss, and share information about their stories, about the genres they love. Let me have it.
