Happy Birthday Faith McKay!

It's a wonderful day when we get to celebrate Faith McKay. Why? Because she's amazing. No wait, she's more than amazing. In fact, I'm not sure there's a word to properly explain just how amazing Faith is. Which is why we wanted to party together to celebrate her. Her birthday was over the weekend but we feel like she should have the whole week. Don't you agree? If you don't know Faith, you are doing yourself a grave disservice. Not only is she a genius author of the Lacuna Valley series, Deadly Diva series, and the new Stolen Magic series. You can find her on[...]

Good Morning, Kittens!   What a beautiful day to be alive. Speaking of being alive, one of our very own is celebrating a birthday today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TIMON!!!   Since I'm relatively new to the Society, I asked Kim to help me out with a little birthday bio for Timon .

Currently in grad school to make horror video games ideally. Loves philosophy, and big[...]

Welcome to the Midnight Society, Erica!

We are extremely lucky to have nine amazing members. Faith, Kira, Kathy, Kim, Amy, Timon, Brian, and Jenna are all so fantastic. So naturally, we couldn't help ourselves when we were having a party this last Saturday night and someone broke out the Ouija board.   That's how we met Erica. We were a little skeptical of the contact until we asked her to reveal herself and well, let's just say that she proved her otherwordliness well enough. We think you'll love her. Really. Just try and ignore the black eyes. Welcome to the Midnight Society Erica! Mi[...]
