Van Edwards is great. I've finished Cues and gone on to Captivate. Perhaps fascination with human behavior and nonverbal communication, along with introversion and soft boundaries, are hallmarks of writers? We're natural empaths and observors. I'm enjoying your work very much!

You're welcome, Jennifer! I'm enjoying your work. I agree -- the term "horror" is way to generic. And I know what you mean about self-promotion! Not my best thing, either.

What a lovely compliment. Thank you. I'm glad you liked what you've read. I look forward to getting to know you too.

You guessed correctly, I am an introvert. :) Promoting my own work is a special kind of nightmare, but I'm getting used to it here on Substack.

As to your question about horror, I prefer paranormal horror, ghost stories and the like. It's tough to just say 'horror' when that doesn't differentiate between a haunted house story and a story about a psycho killer.

Thanks again for the shoutout!

I am also an introvert who struggles with boundaries, and I’ve found Vanessa van Edwards writings and YouTube videos to be extremely helpful. I haven’t read Cues but I have read Captivate and found it super interesting. Loved seeing what you’re reading lately! Thanks for sharing.
