Unclaimed Mail: Squid Game Suits

 Part 2 of the Squid Game saga is here. Gabby and Spencer look like they just stepped off the set. The red jumpers were every bit as dramatic as expected, and they pulled it off like pros.

When we reconvened, Spencer opened a Steve Madden box, which sounded promising until we saw what was inside. Definitely not designer. Instead of sleek heels, he got a pair of sneakers that smelled like cheap plastic.

Then it was my turn. I opened a tan jacket that could’ve been nice if not for the stains from the bag being partially opened. To add insult to injury, it was also a little too small. So much for my moment of fashion redemption.

Still, between the Squid Game cosplay and the fake designer shoes, this round of unclaimed mail delivered plenty of laughs, and a reminder that mystery boxes are always a gamble.

When Real Life Meets the Dark Musicals — Featuring Doctor Hong

Every now and then, real life hands me a moment that feels like it stepped straight out of one of my own books. Today at the Auxiliary Foundation Bingo event, I had the joy of watching Doctor Hong, a real doctor, take the stage and belt out Broadway tunes with bingo‑themed lyrics.

Doctor Hong delivered his own clever, comedic rewrites of classic Broadway numbers, and the entire room was on their feet. After the show, I introduced myself and told him: “My Dark Musicals fans would LOVE you.” We ended up chatting about my series, and I mentioned one of my favorite characters, Dr. Zane Riverdale, the openly gay doctor who marries a drag queen and becomes one of the emotional anchors of the series.

Here's little slice of real‑world musical magic that feels right at home in the Dark Musicals universe. Please check out Dr. Hong's YouTube video below and show him some love! He deserves every view. And who knows, maybe someday Doctor Hong will make a cameo in the books. The Dark Musicals always has room for one more star.

If you haven't read it already, here is a little more about the story:

Joshua Hanover had it all. He was handsome, rich, athletic, and had always been popular with the ladies. Yet, until he gets paired up with his beautiful but shy lab partner, Rosa, he never allowed himself to fall in love. As the chemistry between them grows, Josh realizes that his player days have come to end. But it seems his change of heart has come too late. Not only is Rosa leery of his bad boy reputation, he has four vindictive ex-girlfriends who are on a rampage. At first he doesn't take their threats seriously, but then his tires are slashed, someone tries to poison him, and one of the girls turns up dead. Josh doesn't know who to trust, but one thing is certain. It definitely isn't worth the price he's paying to be a player.

Unclaimed Mail: See‑Through Pants & Squid Game Suits

 Today’s unclaimed‑mail haul was a journey. We started with see‑through pants in a whole rainbow of colors. Then we pulled out a lacey shirt, which wasn’t bad compared to what came next.

Because next we got another used fingernail clipper WITH the nails still in it. I wish I were kidding. I am not. Ew doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Thankfully, the universe redeemed itself with the final boxes: two full‑body red jumpers that look exactly like they came straight off the set of Squid Game. They’re creepy and iconic. Stay tuned tomorrow for Part 2 to watch Spencer and Gabby model the Squid Game suits!

🎭 Meet Micaela Harper — The New Voice of the Dark Musicals Series

Meet Micaela Harper, the brand‑new narrator for my Dark Musicals series. Right now, she’s deep into Phantom (Book 1), and she’s not just narrating it. She’s transforming it.

Micaela has officially signed on to narrate all 16 books in the series, and after hearing Chapter 1, I knew I’d found the perfect creative partner for this musical‑mystery universe.

🎶 She Brought the Music 

One of my biggest fears about adapting the Dark Musicals to audio was losing the musical element that defines the series. I write original “lyrics” into the books that echo the spirit of the songs that inspired them, but of course we can’t use copyrighted music in the audio. Micaela solved that problem

She took my original lyrics and composed her own unique music, creating a sound that captures the heart of the series without violating any copyrights. It’s fresh, emotional, atmospheric, and perfect for the Dark Musicals. Her performance captures the drama, the romance, the tension, and the theatricality. As a real musical theater performer, she understands the tone of the series.

🎬 A Journey Begins

This collaboration is going to be an incredible ride, and I can’t wait for you to hear what she’s creating. If you want a taste of her talent, check out her YouTube video below where she sings If Somebody Love Me from Toy Story.

Book 1 should be ready by mid‑June, and trust me, it’s worth the wait.

Stay tuned! The Dark Musicals are about to sing louder than ever. Check out the whole series on Amazon.

Teens vs. Queens: Car Covers, Fan Parts & The Lost Thong Footage

 Today’s queen is Donna, the real‑life inspiration behind the character of the same name in Wish on a Star. In the book, Donna works for the Make‑A‑Wish Foundation, but in the real world she does hospital billing with me, and today she stepped into the unclaimed‑mail arena with full Queen energy.

Her first box revealed a car cover, which had us imagining her trying to wrangle it in the parking lot. Next up, she opened two shelves. Then came the dud: a single piece of a fan. Not a whole fan. Not even half a fan. Just…a part.

Since the fan piece was a flop, I gave her a bonus package. and of course, it turned out to be a pack of thongs. And OF COURSE I accidentally stopped recording right before she opened it. The universe robbed us of iconic footage. Truly a tragedy.

Donna handled it all like the queen she is. Teens, take notes.

Teens vs. Queens - Luck of the Irish

 The teens are back, this time with Spencer, Gabby, and Andrew.

Andrew kicked things off with a bicentennial bottle and a pair of shamrock jeans. They’re loud and they’re perfect for St. Patrick’s Day.

Then Gabby dove into her boxes and pulled out five iPhone holders followed by two denim jackets, one black and one green. The green denim jacket matches Andrew’s shamrock jeans PERFECTLY.

Congratulations to me, because I now have my official St. Patrick’s Day outfit 11 months in advance.

Finally, Spencer opened a car scratch remover and sponges which is perfect timing since he just got his permit. The universe said, “Congrats on driving. Now clean your car.”

Another day, another round of teen‑powered fashion and holiday coordination.
