65% into this and loving it. The story has tension, sharp emotional stakes, and steady world expansion. It’s atmospheric and addictive. If you enjoy enemies to lovers, forbidden attraction, slow burn, political intrigue, hidden identities, magic, and drama, this book delivers on those tropes.

Something Happened is a psychological thriller with horror elements and a dash of slash. It follows the MC and his family on their annual camping trip. What they don’t know is that someone else is there with motives of their own. What secrets is the family hiding? Find out in this dark, twisty read.

This weekend I’m focusing on a short story. If I finish the edits should I release in 3 weeks ?

Loved the story !!!

Against a deep red background, the silhouette of a man with slumped shoulders sits in a chair. Text across the bottom of the graphic reads, “‘Dark, twisted, and impossible to put down. J.R. Blanes crafts a haunting world that lingers long after the last page. If you love horror that’s equal parts beautiful and unsettling, this one’s for you.’—Arthur Avalos, Author of Something Happened.” The Ruadán Books logo appears in the upper right corner of the image.

Portraits of Decay is “Dark, twisted, & impossible to put down...If you love horror that’s equal parts beautiful & unsettling, this one’s for you." — @arthuravalosauthor.bsky.social, Author of Something Happened.

What’s everyone up too?

@arthuravalosauthor.bsky.social challenged me to write with a spooky prompt. This is that prompt. #poetrysky

I wanna argue and yell and throw things, soft things lol. I feel like we were just played with.

Same, I’ve checked like 10 times

I feel that, my book club had a midnight discussion on discord and it’s just wild how we ended up here. Who started it, who lobbied it and who wants to “bring it back”. It just feels icky and scary.

Thank you to everyone following me !!! Expect to see the same me just a different platform !!!
