I Said “Hey! A-What’s Going On?”

Hiya team!

It’s been a minute since we’ve seen each other, hasn’t it? My life is different. Yours is probably different, too. How are things? I hope you’ve listened to some cool new albums, and possibly some even cooler old albums. Personally I’ve been obsessed with Alice in Chains’ Dirt, the Gin Blossoms’ New Miserable Experience, Peter Paul & Mary’s Album, Charli XCX’s Brat, and of course Lady Gaga’s Mayhem. Also all things Tom Petty.

But I’m actually not here to talk about music.

For those that aren’t aware, I’m not just the coolest fake music fan you know. I am also a consumer and creator of horror! Perhaps this horrifies you. But if it doesn’t, then you might be interested in my two pieces of fun news.

#1, and most exciting, is that my debut horror novel HEDGEHOG is coming out via Clash Books in March 2027! Even better, it’s coming out under my real name, Maggie Koons. (Hiya, nice to meet you!)

#2, and possibly equally exciting depending on the kind of person you are, is that I have made my re-entry into the blogosphere, in a big red ball gown and clown make-up, covered in pig blood. Because instead of writing music reviews, I will be tackling another subject that’s equally near and dear to my heart…STEPHEN KING.

If you’re interested in following my new blog, Stephen King Writes Girls, you can check it out here. Annnd if you’re interested in reading my book when it comes out, you are welcome to follow me on Instagram.

Anyway, I miss this blog and sometimes I get the self-destructive urge to just do the whole thing again. Imagine that: a Round 2 of every record, with me a little bit older, wiser, and less snotty. Maybe someday…
