Welcome to the World Broken Dolls
On September 30th, I had what was easily one of the best days of my life. Broken Dolls my third middle grade novel was released and I had my book release at Twisted Spine – an incredible horror bookstore in Brooklyn with none other than Clay McLeod Chapman. If you don’t know Clay, he’s the sort of guy who graciously agrees to do your launch with you and then dresses up like this And if that…

Edits on Broken Dolls are DONE DONE DONE
I feel like every blog post I post here is about how I have finished this book yet again. But here’s what happened – I sent in the draft that I finished after my beta readers read it. Everyone who read it loved it and said everything was working and it was really strong so I was feeling pretty good about sending this to my editor. Then my edit letter came back. For reference an edit letter is…

Broken Dolls Draft is done! Also Stephen King wants to read my book!
Yeah. You read that correctly. He followed me on Twitter over the summer, after listening to Neil and Nat and I discuss his novel IT on Neil’s podcast Talking Scared which was of course thrilling. And now, he wants to read my book which is just….unreal I literally fell over when I saw it. And then things got more crazy. I dm’d him to thank him for the kind words and never expected a reply and…

This Appearing House Challenged in Texas
Hi all It’s been a minute since I have posted on here. I feel like I say that every time but this has been a rough summer and fall (see previous post) and my grief has been in the drivers seat for a lot of it. I’m going to attempt to write here more regularly but no promises. I’m sure the next post will start off the same. I’m also saving all my writing energy for Broken Doll book, my next…

New Book: Broken Dolls coming 2025 and updates!
Hi all It’s been a minute since I’ve posted anything here, I know. But we’ll get to that in a second. I have some good news!

Which means, for those playing along at home, I will have TWO books out in 2025. My homage to all things…

STOKERCON 2023
Annnndddd we’re back from StokerCon 2023 which was amazing. It was held in Pittsburgh this year which was nice for me because it’s a place I’m very familiar with so that helped with some of the anxiety but also because I have family there too. We drove in Thursday, and after hitting some traffic I got in with a bit of time to spare before my reading. Honestly, I hate reading from my book. And…

Hey friends! Its spring already (though the last few days in New York City have felt like summer. It is far too soon for these nearly 90 days)! I have some NEWS! And the NEWS is book-shaped! That’s right! I wrote a Little Women book with some friends and come 2025 you will be able to read it! I know that sounds like a long time but I promise it will be here before we know it (oh speaking of I…

A publishing dream come true and a strike!
A publishing dream come true and a strike!
Hi all! So first off, Twitter is seemingly dying but I’m staying on until they kick me out. But I’m also on Hive social at @allymalinenko so if you’re there, find me and we can be friends and you won’t miss any of my nonsense. Also I was thinking of starting a newsletter but I can’t seem to figure out MailChimp because I’m tech-stupid. If I did, would ya’ll sign up? I’ll still blog – thought I…

2 Weeks Till THIS APPEARING HOUSE is out
2 Weeks Till THIS APPEARING HOUSE is out
Hi friends. It’s been a bit since I posted anything on here. Been busy with life, writing, managing my COVID depression. You know, the way we all have been but I realized that I never shared my illustrator Maike’s amazing sketches for the alternative covers for This Appearing House and I thought that might be fun. So let’s do this! I love this one. I really truly do. I think the only…

Interview and Alternative Cover Sketches with GHOST GIRL Illustrator Maike Plenzke
Interview and Alternative Cover Sketches with GHOST GIRL Illustrator Maike Plenzke
One of the best things about getting a book accepted by a press is getting to see what your cover looks like. I’m fascinated by book covers and even more so with an illustrator’s ability to bring to life a world that previously only lived in the author’s mind. It’s like magic! I really lucked out with my GHOST GIRL cover. My illustrator Maike Plenzke did an amazing job bringing to life my…
