I left a few of my books tucked into a Little Free Library in Salem…right by The House of the Seven Gables, because subtlety has never been my strength.

If you happen to find one, I hope it follows you home in the best possible way.

Wrote in a café that quietly turned me into part of its interior design.

If this book feels a little haunted, a little dreamy, and slightly unhinged – just know I was fully influenced by the tide. 🌊

Some stories don’t wait for permission.
They arrive unannounced, rearrange your thoughts, and refuse to leave until they’ve been written.
If you know, you know.

A completely reasonable number of books for a completely reasonable schedule.

Three signings. Three weeks. Zero chill.

If you need me, I’ll be here – opening boxes like they might whisper plot twists back at me.

#AuthorLife #verityeaston #BookSigning #hattievavaseur #mrebeccawildsmith

The sea called… and it wants a signed copy. 🌊📚

Stories, secrets, and just enough mischief to keep things interesting. Come say hello, grab a book, and let me sign something a little suspiciously delightful.

Some people unwind with beach reads.
Some of us bring…research.

Just a casual seaside moment pondering timelines, toxins, and whether gold behaves under pressure.
You know – normal thoughts.

There’s something about old estates by the sea – too beautiful, too quiet, too full of stories that never made it into polite conversation.

Every pathway feels like it’s waiting for footsteps that aren’t yours. Every view looks like the beginning of something…or the end of it.

#mrebeccawildsmith

The twists, the tension, the emotion – and impossible to put down? Reviews like this make my day. ✨

I went in with full “I’m just looking” energy and left feeling like I had been quietly assessed by several inanimate objects.

Nothing spoke.
And yet…I was understood.

Salem remains undefeated. 🔮

Ink, ideas, and a room full of stories waiting to be told…

I’m so excited to be joining the Space Coast Writers Guild as a guest speaker to talk all things writing, publishing, and actually getting your book into readers’ hands.

Just quietly expanding my territory, one reader at a time. 📖

I like to think I choose what stays in a story.

It’s comforting.
It’s also…not entirely true.

Still riding the range – just traded horses for haunted houses 👻

Inside Peer Gynt – a story about illusion, identity, and the lives we pretend to live – I found something real.

A forgotten clipping.
A voice from a room that no longer exists.
A reader I will never know.

Westerns aren’t usually my lane, but my grandpa’s Louis L’Amour stash raised me right 🤠

A little bookstore tucked by the sea, where everything slows down and every shelf feels like it’s holding something meant just for you. 🌊📖✨

Putting so much work into the twists, the tension, the quiet little clues…and then a review like this comes along and notices it all. I’m very normal about this. (I am not.) ✨

They left behind transcripts, testimonies, and just enough evidence to prove one thing: Fear spreads faster than truth – and it burns hotter.

(And my apologies for the shaky Live Photos…videos weren’t allowed!)

Left a couple of my books tucked into a Little Free Library in Boston…which feels less like “sharing literature” and more like strategically planting intrigue in unsuspecting neighborhoods.

If you find them…just know I had excellent intentions.

If we’re going to be publicly judged, we might as well have a signature cocktail for it.

A little scandal, a little citrus, and just enough sweetness to make the consequences worth it.

This bookcase opened like something straight out of a 1920s fever dream.

Do I regret not bringing my books to leave behind? Deeply.
Do I plan to return like a slightly unhinged literary phantom? Also yes.

Not all ghosts rattle chains.
Some sit quietly in your chest…waiting to be written.

Tell the story. Even if it trembles. Especially if it trembles.

#WritersOfTikTok #DarkAcademiaVibes #AmWriting #mayaangelou #mrebeccawildsmith

A house full of ink, memory, and the kind of quiet that lingers.

And then a grave that somehow feels less like an ending…and more like a continuation.

I came for literary history.
I left with a beautiful haunting.

She’s glitz. She’s glam. She’s hiding far more than she lets on ✨ For those who like their mysteries elegant… with a dangerous edge.

#DarkGlamReads #MysteryAesthetic #BookTokFinds #hattievavaseur #mrebeccawildsmith

Came to Salem for the history and left with a new identity, a mild craving for chaos, and the overwhelming urge to haunt someone elegantly. 🕸️

Some reviews you smile at…and some you have to emotionally process. This one? Definitely both. ✨

Back in another Salem graveyard because apparently one was not enough for my peace of mind. Just out here collecting graveyard ambiance like it’s part of my writing process.

Some books you read.
Some books drag you across the moors by your emotional stability and refuse to let go.

Wuthering Heights is having a moment…and frankly, it deserves to be as unhinged as it wants.

An open-air lot full of books in the middle of Boston feels unreal, but I can confirm it’s dangerously legit. Brattle Bookshop, you’ve changed me. 📚✨

A reader left this 5⭐ review for Hattie Vavaseur and casually described it as:
✔️ a murder mystery
✔️ a love story
✔️ a commentary on life, death, and the unknown

Also: Vamelda and Syd getting the recognition they deserve?
