There’s something about old estates by the sea – too beautiful, too quiet, too full of stories that never made it into polite conversation.
Every pathway feels like it’s waiting for footsteps that aren’t yours. Every view looks like the beginning of something…or the end of it.
#mrebeccawildsmith
The twists, the tension, the emotion – and impossible to put down? Reviews like this make my day. ✨

I went in with full “I’m just looking” energy and left feeling like I had been quietly assessed by several inanimate objects.
Nothing spoke.
And yet…I was understood.
Salem remains undefeated. 🔮

Ink, ideas, and a room full of stories waiting to be told…
I’m so excited to be joining the Space Coast Writers Guild as a guest speaker to talk all things writing, publishing, and actually getting your book into readers’ hands.

I like to think I choose what stays in a story.
It’s comforting.
It’s also…not entirely true.

Inside Peer Gynt – a story about illusion, identity, and the lives we pretend to live – I found something real.
A forgotten clipping.
A voice from a room that no longer exists.
A reader I will never know.

A little bookstore tucked by the sea, where everything slows down and every shelf feels like it’s holding something meant just for you. 🌊📖✨

Putting so much work into the twists, the tension, the quiet little clues…and then a review like this comes along and notices it all. I’m very normal about this. (I am not.) ✨

They left behind transcripts, testimonies, and just enough evidence to prove one thing: Fear spreads faster than truth – and it burns hotter.

(And my apologies for the shaky Live Photos…videos weren’t allowed!)
Left a couple of my books tucked into a Little Free Library in Boston…which feels less like “sharing literature” and more like strategically planting intrigue in unsuspecting neighborhoods.
If you find them…just know I had excellent intentions.

If we’re going to be publicly judged, we might as well have a signature cocktail for it.
A little scandal, a little citrus, and just enough sweetness to make the consequences worth it.

This bookcase opened like something straight out of a 1920s fever dream.
Do I regret not bringing my books to leave behind? Deeply.
Do I plan to return like a slightly unhinged literary phantom? Also yes.

Not all ghosts rattle chains.
Some sit quietly in your chest…waiting to be written.
Tell the story. Even if it trembles. Especially if it trembles.

A house full of ink, memory, and the kind of quiet that lingers.
And then a grave that somehow feels less like an ending…and more like a continuation.
I came for literary history.
I left with a beautiful haunting.

She’s glitz. She’s glam. She’s hiding far more than she lets on ✨ For those who like their mysteries elegant… with a dangerous edge.

Came to Salem for the history and left with a new identity, a mild craving for chaos, and the overwhelming urge to haunt someone elegantly. 🕸️

Some reviews you smile at…and some you have to emotionally process. This one? Definitely both. ✨

Back in another Salem graveyard because apparently one was not enough for my peace of mind. Just out here collecting graveyard ambiance like it’s part of my writing process.

Some books you read.
Some books drag you across the moors by your emotional stability and refuse to let go.
Wuthering Heights is having a moment…and frankly, it deserves to be as unhinged as it wants.

An open-air lot full of books in the middle of Boston feels unreal, but I can confirm it’s dangerously legit. Brattle Bookshop, you’ve changed me. 📚✨

A reader left this 5⭐ review for Hattie Vavaseur and casually described it as:
✔️ a murder mystery
✔️ a love story
✔️ a commentary on life, death, and the unknown
Also: Vamelda and Syd getting the recognition they deserve?

Just a casual day in Salem leaving emotionally questionable decisions in a Little Free Library. If found, please read responsibly…or don’t. I’m not your moral compass.

I support the version of me who made this decision. ☕🖤

She was warned. She entered anyway.
Now she belongs to the house a little bit. 🕯️

Restocking for book signings – the calm before the conversations, the signatures, and the moment a story stops being mine and becomes someone else’s. 📦📖

Some places don’t feel like stores…they feel like thresholds.
Nocturne is one of them.

A festive little library by the water…clearly the work of literary leprechauns. 🍀📚 I cannot confirm whether the books grant luck, inspiration, or questionable plot twists.

Ancient Egypt. Archaeology. Mystery.
And a young woman determined to uncover the truth.
Authors never get tired of seeing readers fall into the story. 🏺✨
