I'm offline now until late July!

I will try and catch up here on Bluesky once a month... broadband connection depending.

Meantime, have a wonderful summer!

Much love
Freya xxx

Belladonna's Garden Issue 3 Spring 2026

The Spring Issue of Belladonna's Garden is out. I don't have a story in this issue (my short story, "Siren's Song," was in the Winter issue), but they were great people to work with, and they do a very good job of promoting their contributors.

Summer Break The ground shook beneath their feet as lighting flickered almost constantly. Erl’s fear increased as the monster descended and opened its fang-filled mouth. Then Otta pushed him aside and stepped out into the storm. Not knowing why, he tried to stop her. Erl reached out but hesitated to touch her. There was an energy about her that shimmered and danced all over her body.

My dear Bluesky family,

I haven't been very active on social media b/c of doing a slew of creative cool things

A lot of these projects are new, ambitious & cosmically terrifying. They give me terrible anxiety, but also make me come alive. Here's a few:

I'd love to hear what y'all have been up to🥰
