Art by greasadraws of my two main characters Delah and Hardy. It is blue/cool tones. A blonde boy in a letterman jacket and a black haired girl holding hands on a moonlit window. Their shadows show a girl and a coyote.

Maryneal 1962 needs love. The only 1 star it has is from a woman who told me I wasn't allowed to write about Indigenous characters because I didn't look it. (I'm literally Choctaw.)

So if you want to support a small press & a slice of life grief horror...

I'm in this one with Hatred Enthrones Me! I even made some art for it. Really a bucket-list success for me, and supporting a good cause.

So living with my parents abruptly became unsafe (mentally/emotionally) and I'm leaving ASAP. I have somewhere to go, but it's out of state. I'm packing now but I have to register my car before I go and that's $500. Anything helps. 🫀

Moodboard of eight images.
Top left: A figure plays a violin in a dark room. The image is shot in such a way that only the violin and one of the player's hands is visible.
Center left: A man stands in darkness; his head is on fire.
Bottom left: A wireframe of a dragon against a bright orange background
Top/mid center: Alphonse Mucha's Emerald, featuring a woman staring intensely at the viewer as she leans against the head of a snarling serpent. A white line is drawn straight through the image to neatly divide the woman's head from the serpent's.
Bottom center: The Lovers, from the Art Nouveau Tarot deck, featuring a couple just about to kiss. The card is lying on a white space, surrounded by red/white roses.
Top right: A figure in white robes wanders through a very green forest.
Center right: A bolt of lightning arcs above a mountain range in a very violet sky.
Bottom right: A black hole swirls in a sea of violet stars and nebulae.

The Title Page of the Agents Guide. The title of the book is THE STOLEN IDOL by Christopher Lee. It is a 86K word YA Fantasy. An image drawn and colored digitally by the author is in the center of the page. The image shows a broken opal colored disk in front of the Cat Si's golden eye.

The Pitch: 
Winning a jousting tournament should be easy for a centaur, and it is, until the false horse head falls off Fotini’s shoddy disguise. She quickly steals the tournament prize, a golden idol, and gallops toward the forest ripping off her heavy jousting armor to outrun the tournament guards. When she arrives home to fulfill her contract, she discovers she accidentally ditched the idol with her disguise. Along with two fellow thieves, she retraces her steps praying the idol is still there. Hopefully it wasn’t cracked, or worse, found by a disgusting human.
Seventeen-year-old Jaimie Whitfield is accused of being a fae changeling, a creature who kidnaps children and assumes their form. If he does not escape, he will be executed for impersonating himself. His father will then invade the fae kingdom to rescue a son who hasn’t actually been kidnapped, all because he saw Jaimie kiss another young man and would rather believe his son has been kidnapped than accept his sexuality. As he awaits his demise, Jaimie turns to the broken idol he found by the roadside with a quiet prayer. He doesn’t expect an answer, but is shocked when a mysterious black cat slips through his high tower window.
Jaimie joins the shapeshifting cat known as the Cat Sí and the not fully human trio of thieves who dropped the idol to begin with. These outcasts race to warn the fae of the coming invasion. Along the way, Jaimie and his new friends learn long-forgotten secrets of how the Irish fae, the Cat Sí, and the Celtic gods are involved in an ancient feud with pantheons across the sea.
