Anyone have a story they wish existed? I'm feeling creative today. I'm taking requests to create a free story. I'll post it on substack. If you want a short story but don't have substack I can email or message it to you.

Throwback Thursday
#Werewolves, despite what some thirsty romantacy tv series would have you believe, originate in Europe.
I feel like every big vampire show keeps trying to say it's an indigenous myth.
Not that I watch those shows.
Okay I watched one.

Trickster Tuesday
The imp dates back to the #14th century. Pagan religion is fascinating. Minus the sacrifice. Don't condone that.
There are countless interpretations. First appears to be troublemaking spirits infesting one's home

For #halloween I'll flip it to $6.66 for an ebook and $13 for a print
"Riptide" and "Beyond Sanity" contain the most #gore
"Sour Bites" and "Trophies" lean more to #fantasy
"Roll for It" is a solid mix

I can't help it. Gerdi is my favorite. Ok... Back to editing
Can't believe I forgot her wings on the last doodle ..

Ironically, 'Sour Bites' is one of the less graphic tales...
Look for it on your local Barnes and nobles website XDDD
I will be selling limited edition autographed prints locally and anywhere I can ship without an exorbitant fee.

Freak Friday
"She let her tongue flick across the cherry-glazed heart pricked upon her nails." Copyrighted sentence.
From Beating Bitter Berries.
I almost threw this story away 3 times.

Honestly if the vampire spiders represent rebellion against governments, I think they were the secret heros.

Procrastinating on my copy edits. Art is probably a bluesky exclusive, but say Hello to Gerdi from Sour Bites.
#ratherbereading #ratherbewriting #read #write
Definitely on Track to publish this weekend.
Editing sucks, but I trust myself more than a stranger.
I've hired a cover artist. So it comes down to her deadline really.

It's #Witch Wednesday
If you haven't read Spellfall by Katherine Roberts. I highly recommend it to all fantasy lovers. Familiars, witches, and a curious take on the inner workings of magic.

Hey #book lovers
If an ebook you were interested in purchasing cost $6.66, would that stop you from buying it?

Gothic& Fantasy short fable collection. 14 stories. 13 poems. Themes of Nature, Feminism, Revenge. Some fun murder sprinkled in. Lots of animal companions. #acab body #gore #dreams #myth
Deciding between calling it Blood and Stardust or Bloodied Constellations
#ratherbereading #ratherbewriting
I really think I'm on track to publish next weekend
Excited and nervous
#ratherbereading #ratherbewriting
Choosing between 2 titles
Bloodied Constellations or Blood and Stardust
#ratherbereading #ratherbewriting #read #write
Sorry I haven't made my usual posts about ancient myths. Been hyper focused on editing. Should be ready to self publish next weekend
Should I do just audio? Or is scary story by candle light good ambience?
#ratherbereading #ratherbewriting #horror #dark #twisted #morbid #damned #write #fables #should be self publishing in April. If y'all are interested I can do one full free story posted here. Audio/ Screenshot/ Candle light?

Witch Wednesday
Shanara's familiar is a fat red panda. The banter, sarcasm, and love between this is just one of the reasons these are my favorite books ever. Written for a younger audience, but no book has more beloved characters. Read it and tell me I'm wrong. #ratherbereading #ratherbewriting
3 more stories to edit! I should be self publishing next week if I keep up this pace. 13 poems. 14 stories.
Revenge. Twisted fables. Short horrors. Imps. Sirens. Unicorns. Skeletons. Curses. Rats, crows, mice, spiders.
Lots of murder

Trilogy Tuesday. What's your favorite Trilogy?
Mine:
Cornelia Funke
Inkheart. Inkspell. Inkdeath
If you still haven't read the Ink trilogy... You're wasting your life. Fix yourself and head to the library tomorrow.
