Having refinanced a house during COVID it’s worse than a haunting

I’m not participating in #PosterPit this go round but I will share the posters that landed me a publishing deal with Three Dragons Press - the system works!

Do you dare see the slow-burn gothic horror of The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor? Coming Fall 2026! Cover reveal below.

The cover of The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor coming Fall 2026

It’s time. The #CoverReveal for my gothic horror novel The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor.

Published by Three Dragons Press, I can’t wait to get this into readers’ hands this fall.

A dying estate. A cursed legacy. And a house that refuses to let her go.

Back to my favorite topic with @ThreeDragonsP: book covers! What sort of cover catches your eye? What stands out on the shelf? My problem is I know it when I see it, but I can't describe it. Maybe let the artist take over with a pitch?

Developmental editing with Three Dragons Press is done and we're moving on to line editing. Now instead of looking at the throughline of everything I can obsess over word usage and verbs. No unearned metaphors here, boy howdy!

Just got my first beta reader feedback on my dark fantasy novel. Very positive, along with pointing out some lazy tense mistakes so I definitely know she read it, lol. It’s always a good feeling when someone genuinely enjoys something I wrote.

Love that one.

Hell yeah. 🇺🇸

I can if I use big words

hahahahah! I don't think anybody "won" that story...

I don’t want to meet the target audience for this app

"I like the way you're thinking about the story in reaction to the feedback, and that's far and away the most important thing." - my @ThreeDragonsP editor. Now that's tasty commentary.

The whole family got taken down by a stomach virus. Nothing like some forced downtime. I did finally start Dungeon Crawler Carl which has been really fun.

I do most of my editing in Autocrit (@autocrit.bsky.social) and decided to run my summary score out of curiosity to see whether all my changes affected it. It actually went up! Bestseller, here I come, lol. @ThreeDragonsP

Probably a good idea, I’ll keep you posted

Been editing for @ThreeDragonsP and somehow added 1k words - the focus has been protag agency, feelings about a certain guy, and ways to bring out the characterization of the manor in The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor. Spooky without becoming spoopy!

It’s snowing!

After 5,230 words tonight the #WIP first draft is DONE! The entire manuscript comes in at 89,560 words, just under my 90k goal. I'm feeling so satisfied I both can't sleep and am exhausted. Time to let this simmer for a bit before I jump into editing.

#writingcommunity #amwriting #author

A massive 8,046 words on the #WIP today. It's late but I'm feeling good. Two wrap up chapters left. 84k words total. I'm so excited my dark fantasy is just about done, what a journey. An insane 29k words written this week. 💪

If only I didn’t have all these stupid responsibilities I’d be done!

3,423 words on the #WIP last night. 1 chapter left and then it's the end of Act 3. Then a little bit of the aftermath of that final battle and it's done. Just about at 80k words, exactly where I want to be.

Thanks very much!

Now imagine if I could do it full time, hahaha. I’ll let you know when it’s done! Thanks!

6,933 words on the #WIP last night and during lunch today. Four chapters left and the word count just hit 76k. The next chapter is the big bad fight and I'm so excited to write it! It looks like this first draft is ALMOST THERE!

We by Yevgeny Zamyatin. Sorta.

A crazy and somehow perfectly round 6,450 words pumped out in 24 hours. Two entire chapters of act 3 as the penultimate battle is fast approaching. It's like rolling downhill, with a brick wall of a finale about to hit me. Just crossed 70k total on the #WIP!

#writingcommunity #amwriting #author

After a brief respite, 2900 words on the #WIP tonight. The descent to the final battle is coming. Who will live? Who will die? Only the outline knows for sure. And me.
