Kimberly Davis Basso

Me desperately searching bookstores for the men’s fiction section.

Yes, I’d like my restaurant branding to look exactly the same as a pharmaceutical foot fungus medication that would be perfect thank you where do I pay?

Giving blood in a community center room that is used for prek couple days a week. Can I tell you the art? Leaves and pumpkins, coconut trees with letters a la Chicka Chicka Boom, the weather bulletin board “Today it is SUNNY,” butterflies with pipe cleaner antennas. We have it all! Also give 🩸.

New line of Birth Announcements in my shop: Little Johnny 7 pounds 8 ounces Already propping up a failing tech company. We’re so proud.

Had to look up how many zeroes in a trillion because California billionaires will still collectively be worth $2,000,000,000,000 that is TWELVE zeroes, for that 2 Trillion dollars after they’re taxed a one time 5%. I feel a little dizzy.

Did you vote? I’m going through my ballot book after work tomorrow. California likes us to get in a good 5,000 pages of reading before we vote.

Frankly if you don’t want to be treated like a rapist don’t dress like one.

If I see one more tech bro explaining the human experience and “all of human history” like it’s a word search on the back of a cereal box I’m going to continue to not use genAI.

Seven years ago today I found out I’ve been parenting wrong all along.

Wrote a story wrote a story wrote a story wrote a story and I think it’s done!!!!!! 🎃🖤💀

Going to the gym for the first time tomorrow in decades. Just need to find my thong.

Good lord I’d forgotten about the following feed. Missed you all.

PSA EVERYONE GETS CANDY. Halloween is the only holiday in the US where we all celebrate basically the same way and people knock on their neighbors doors just to say hey and wander the neighborhood. It is the best. There are no presents there is just “trick or treat” and smiles. All joy. 🖤🎃👻

My ballot arrived LET’S GO!!!!!

🎧 audiobook Off the Reservation - Stephen Graham Jones. I am one chapter in and there’s already stuff I want to go back and listen to again. Narration right now is by Shaun Taylor Corbett- it’s excellent. @stephengrahamjones.com books are good to listen to at 1:1 - for the pauses & the space.

#HorrorWritersChat Question Four: “Lay down all thoughts Surrender to the void It is shining…” Conversely, what would the plot be for a horror story from you based on a particular piece of music?

I was just thinking Amadeus is a great horror/music meetup. I think I’m too amazed by people with musical talent to torture them in a horror story. Clearly I need to explore this. Q3 #horrorwriterschat

Hello #horrorwriterschat I’m Kimberly, I write horror that sneaks up on you (when I’m not writing humor) and I live with two teens so I have not been allowed to make a music choice in years. If I’m listening to something of my own choosing it’s usually an audio book.

Friday is my Monday which is always always weird but I just saw that a library hold is in so it’s gonna be a great day tomorrow. Now I just need 1 more indie bookstore to order from my back catalog, and that will make 1 indie bookstore this week that ordered from my back catalog.

Join us tomorrow for the first LIVE Quick Reads premiere on our YouTube channel! Hang out and chat with authors, readers & even some SWSW committee members while we watch our newest recorded event! This Friday at 12 pm ET! #SWSWQR youtu.be/0qiCgKqDSwk?...

#HorrorWritersChat My beautiful wife for being my #1 fan, fanartist, and enabler 💕 My group chat besties who let me throw spaghetti at them and write fanfic of my stuff 🥹 And authors Chuck Wendig and Vajra Chandrasekera for existing in my field of awareness and inspiring me 🤩

Thanks for the chat this week, Mary! It was strangely aspirational. 😀 I won't be able to chat next week, but I have a lot of stuff on the horizon for the Halloween season. So if you're interested in my upcoming releases, check out my Patreon: www.patreon.com/cw/arcdirect... #HorrorWritersChat

First I sit there until you convince me it’s real. Then I thank the coolest kids @gabino.bsky.social & @tvayyyy.bsky.social, as I do in all my horror books. No question connecting with them at the exact right moment opened a door to horror & stories I didn’t know I had. Q4 #horrorwriterschat

Mary Shelley. I have questions. Or I’d share a table with Octavia Butler and just be losing my mind the entire time. Probably best neither scenario could ever happen. Q3 #horrorwriterschat

My ideal horror conference panel would be about the huge diversity of form and function that’s possible in horror- poetry, graphic novels, shorts, novels, and different formats/ means of delivering the story. Q2 #horrorwriterschat

I’m Kimberly Davis Basso, I write horror that sneaks up on you. My upcoming short story: When the warm winds begin to blow, Beware your fingers and keep count of your toes… Mind your manners and clean your plate— Grinnin’ Jack is here. Too late. Q1 #horrorwriterschat

On Wednesdays we write, and today that means we illustrate.

Might be of interest to some of y'all if you're in the greater DC area. www.eventbrite.com/e/an-america...

On Wednesdays we write. And today that means we illustrate.

My dad, 93, says “follow the money.” Propositions up for vote-funded by?politicians-funded by? bailout -due to bad business practices? religion- on whom is the money spent? Follow the money. Good rule of thumb as we get ready to vote for who controls the money, be good to know who controls them.

As we head into Halloween season, I’d like to share the advice I’ve always given my children- “if you’re going to be a serial killer, be the best serial killer you can be.” Find that up and more excellent parenting in my second book, Birth and Other Surprises.

Hi, I’m Kimberly Davis Basso. I write humor and horror. I love the opening of Dusty Springfield’s “You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me” big layers of instruments & voices, then it stops and it’s just her vocals. Over the top. Would you like to introduce yourself with a small song moment you like?

I can also offer you typos, an inflated sense of my own importance, and a lot of water consumption. Bonus points for the Oxford comma yes? www.threads.com/share/_hA-ro...

🚨🚨🚨 These scam approaches appear to come from real book clubs, reviewers, famous TV hosts, and movie producers... one writer even received emails from someone pretending to be Reese Witherspoon.

1) check your voter registration - voters are being purged 2) stay aware of the mail in ballot nonsense and know where your legit drop boxes are and where to vote in person 3) California has ballot tracking- if your state does as well, do it.

I’m just a girl standing in front of a menu thinking, are potatoes safe? Maybe those restaurants that sell vaporized mist of chicken piccata have the right idea? Is it soylent green yet time yet? Went out to lunch today for the first time in a while if you need some context clues.

I don’t talk much about my stroke so here’s a reminder of the symptoms and the fact that I was in perfect health when it happened (and not a single risk factor). If you have a brain it can break - the good news there have been new treatments even since mine 12 years ago- so get help! Time is brain!

Morning, Gabino. In honour of my 3rd book being pulled from the grave, I made a video to celebrate its resurrection. For those who have yet to take the trip: Come, see how Bishop Rider makes them burn. shotgunhoney.com/books/catalo...
