Still Floating: 40 Years of Pennywise contributor Richard Chizmar

Cemetery Dance Magazine. The Gwendy Trilogy. All those amazing limited edition books. And finally, the third book in the Boogeyman series coming this fall. That's just the tip of the iceberg on Richard Chizmar's resume. Here's a fun fact: he also published my first novel, Haven, back in 2016.

Richard is also one of the most supportive and generous guys in the community. When my bookclub read Chasing the Boogeyman, Richard joined the meeting via Zoom to talk about the book.

I had the opportunity to interview Richard to talk about IT for Still Floating and as always, he had some keen insight to offer.
