🩸NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT🩸
I’m so thrilled that my next novel found the perfect haunted home at @Sourcebooks Poisoned Pen Press! ✒️🖤 I had way too much fun writing this twisty bloody mystery & can’t wait for you to meet my newest slasher in Fall 2025! 🔪🧘🏻♀️

Time for the annual Shortwave Shelfie! 😍
It's been a great 2.5 years. This is one of my favorite shelves in my home library. Just so many fantastic stories by some incredible writers.
I feel like the luckiest little publishing house. ❤️

McAuley offers exactly what you’d want from a sequel and it needs to be said (again) that the author is really bringing some new and exciting things to the genre of slasher. @BrianMcWriter @ShortwaveBooks @FearForAllFFA #FanFiAddict

Happy to share that last week, just two weeks after release, @BrianMcWriter's CANDY CAIN KILLS AGAIN crossed the 1,000 sales mark! The vast majority of which were paperback sales!
