A Thanksgiving Thank You
It’s Thanksgiving, also known as Turkey Armageddon, and I wanted to take this time to give thanks to all of the people who have traveled with me on this strange journey down dark and winding paths. I know I’m going to miss some names, so please forgive me, but here’s the best my addled brain can come up with.
My eternal thanks to…

I wish you all a happy and healthy Thanksgiving. Now where’s my shotgun and turkey caller?
Hey Hunter,
Happy Thanks and Thanksgiving. Keep em on their toes and running scared. Gets the blood moving and keeps you young………maybe not forever but for a good long time.
All the best,
Jackie Kingon
I hope you and your husband have a terrific holiday. After all you’ve been through this year, you earned it.
Wow! Thank you for the mention! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! 🙂
Thanks Lindsey!
And a happy Turkey Armageddon to you, and your family & friends too, Hunter. (I’m totally taken with that alternative holiday name. Cleaver … I mean clever!)
Hunter – Honored for the mention. It has been about close to a year since I first wandered into your site. Since then, you and Jack rekindled my love of classic monsters and the horror genre. My focus on reading this year has been about fear and things that go bump in the night…. or may shove you down through a hole in the floor… whatever. 😉
Thank you, and I hope for many exchanges in the future.

I am so thankful to have met and first loved your books, but even more thankful every day for your continual friendship!! But only if you DON’T kill that sweet turkey. xo
