  • Reading: Savages (Excerpt #2)

    I started my reading practice videos with Savages. Fitting as it is my first book. Months later, we are back at Savages again. Have I gotten any better? You tell me… You can find Savages here (including audiobook!): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C2T88RZ/ Christina Bergling https://linktr.ee/chrstnabergling

  • Savages Apocalypse Years Later

    New mic, who this? Darth Vader, apparently 😆 I wrote Savages amidst the post-apocalyptic zombie craze. How do I feel about it years later after a global pandemic and watching people freak out over toilet paper? And how do you feel about it?

    Savages: Inspiration in the Darkness

    I don’t know why depression and writing walk hand in hand for me. Mania and writing surely do not, though I would love to fuel my craft with that energy. There is just a certain point in the descent, a certain shade in the darkness where my mind unfurls and all the words pour down…

  • Collaborating on Screechers: 2 Authors and 1 Artist

  • On Editing

    Editing, otherwise known as writer hell. Yes, I have to hide in a hotel mere miles from my house. But with how much I miss work travel right now, this might be like a vacation.

  • 2020 in Review

    2020 in Review

    Every year, I do a review blog where I catalog all the writing and festivals and horror-related activities I have accomplished in the year. This year, frankly, I just don’t want to. 2020 was a shit in show. In 2020, I survived. There will be a wave of blog posts this week, next week that…
