Messy bookshelf photo featuring the seven books of Maria Lewis’ Supernatural Sisters series

Over the holidays, I absolutely devoured this magnificent series by Maria Lewis. It’s sooooo good… now I want to go back and read it all over again, slowly, and savor each story of love, triumph and sacrifice in the Supernatural Sisters #booksky #urbanfantasy

I love this company so much. They take hidden gems from queer romancelandia and hire MULTIPLE artists (one for the dust jacket, one for the hardcover, one for the end papers, one for the friggin PRINTED EDGES) to design a work-of-multiple-art limited edition hardcover. Go check them out!!

Book cover for “Demon at the Crossroads” by Miri Stone. FG: A woman with two hair buns on top of her head like horns doing a “sh” motion with finger at her lips below title, above three smexy shirtless men in jeans. BG: silhouettes of a motorcycle club gathering against a purple / blue / black night scape.

Teaser for “Demon at the Crossroads” by Miri Stone with quote “She tastes like heaven and sin” on a burgundy rose. Other images in the mood board include a goth woman crouching with black demon wings in forest meadow; a bearded man in leather driving down a deserted desert highway on his motorcycle; and a headshot of an elegant woman with beautiful earrings and her hair in two twisted buns on top of her head like horns.

Who wants to devour a steamy why choose novella about a crossroads demon who has to negotiate a deal between her fated mates hellbent on revenge and the devil?

Black and white photograph of the swimming pool and rocks, standing and staring out the ocean, down at Dee Why headland

More butterflies.

More time at the page.

More movement as I carve my way through the cool salty water.

In this hot, sticky heat
My soul clamors for more.

Black and white. Spotted moth rests from the wind in the grasses on an ocean clifftop spotted at Dee Why headland.

Adding a picture of this moth I took on the shore because this story thread feels both beautiful and fragile right now and I plan to dance in that uncertainty for a bit as it takes shape.

I’ve always been fascinated by folklore especially selkie stories. What is your favorite mythology or folk story world to get lost in?

With love,

M.S. xox

#amwriting #dancingwiththemuse #selkiestory #writerslife

Eeeek. I’m writing something dark and a bit more twisted than my usual shifters based on selkies.

I have no idea when or where it will find the light of day… but for right now I’m just gonna enjoy the flow of words onto a fresh page and the relief of being a conduit once more.

Thank you for bringing this list to my attention Tugba! I am following. Love filling up my feed with tiene artists.

I’m honored. Thank you for adding me 🥰

Three paperbacks, a notebook and pen, a finished coffee cup on a bread plate. All in black and white. Moving from left to right, the books are “Walking in this World” by Julia Cameron; Enchantment by Katherine May; and “The Wailing Woman” by Maria Lewis.

Seeing these books side by side feels prophetic in a way I can’t quite put my finger on… I’ve been in an extended anxiety freeze / creative burn out for far too long. This is the work—summed up in three magnificent titles—which I’ve been doing to find my way back to me.

In a sunny outdoor cafe courtyard, I’m holding up a paperback copy of The Wailing Woman by Maria Lewis

Finally cracked into The Wailing Woman. I adore Maria Lewis’ work. She sweeps me away every time.

I’ve been devouring this series since I discovered her werewolf trilogy and have gone back to fill in the missing pieces before the finale.

What’s on your #tbr?

#booksky #amreading #urbanfantasy

Fwiw, go check your settings. There’s a good chance you were “opted in” to this new sorting by default

Black & white photo. In foreground butterflies and ocean grasses dance in breeze along the path. One butterfly is caught mid flight, central frame, with the landscape dropping away to the rocks and ocean below. Light filtering through the fluffy clouds toward a darker horizon.

Took this shot feeling hopeless while walking towards the Long Reef headland (Northern Beaches, Sydney, Australia). It brought a moment of brightness and gratitude to my day.

Nine images of the Dorset countryside in autumn featuring trees, leaves birds and fields.

Autumn, in the woods and fields and by the river in and around the village where I live in north Dorset.

🫣 I keep forgetting to add hashtags #booksky #amreading

Hand holding up a paperback copy of ‘Enchantment’ written by Katherine May with wooden deck and leafy garden in background.

It’s a grey and stuck sort of morning over here... so I’m making tea and curling up with some Katherine May.

Can anyone see this picture? It’s just a blank space on my timeline…

Something beautiful from my garden I wanted to share with you this morning…

I’ve got a newsletter to write, books begging to be read, a piano whispering for me to sit down and noodle...

While I hate the muggy heat of Sydney summer, I get so much energy and respite from the thunderstorms!

I would FLUV this storm to break so I can get up and doing.

⛈️💙⛈️

My need for coffee is at war with my inability to function in this heat.
