Let’s share our work! Here’s my #PerfectProphet trilogy. A death metal atheist with a surprising gift becomes a Satanist’s target.
#SatanicPanic #horror
In the 2nd book, the MC becomes the target of a #Christian #cult.
Book 3’s theme? Redemption for the antagonist.

Demelza, a world-weary witch, and Uliana, an even more exhausted vampyre, work together to send wayward demons, ghosts and otherworldly creatures back to where they came from. But some jobs are more difficult than others.

Gorgeous covers, aren’t they?
Since Bluesky is opening up, I'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone I have some pretty awesome books for fans of epic fantasy, swashbuckling, and found family.

Good morning #WIPSnips fam. I’m close to finishing this thing (I think), so my participation may (or may not) wane in the coming weeks as I focus on editing, readers and next steps. But here’s a selected snippet for select.

Job-hunting is just so demoralizing. Anything I can find has at least two of three drawbacks:
- Pay sucks
- Either well below or too specialized for my education and experience
- The work would grind my soul into powder and I just left a job that did that
So, you know, if you could buy my books?

#WIPSnips & we're well into the 9th here, so here's my entry for Select.
Written a couple of years ago, now, but feels weirdly relevant today.
Sorry for spoilers for earlier books, but I figure you've read them or won't, so all good, eh?

I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

It may be a bit of a spoiler, but Mateo eventually suffers from a constant fight to take in air after a stabbing injury in my series WIP. I won’t go into how or when that injury takes place, so maybe that makes it less of a spoiler.
Do any of your characters suffer from chronic pain? What kind? How do they deal with it?

This is true. Two new chunks are being added, one previously published with limited distribution and another I'm writing now.
In the end, this Final Edition of The Fearing will be about half again the size of the original edition.

I’m embarrassed to admit that I haven’t read this yet, but it’s been on my list for a long time. Owen is 11 when the inciting incident happens, so I can only guess that it counts? #TBRuary

#PretendPanel, my current WIP centers around a small town mayoral election, so there’s no avoiding it there. What’s weird is that my mom wrote the thing some 30+ years ago, and while I’m giving it more substance, I feel like the political element hasn’t really changed. 1/2
I'm breaking the rule of not bringing up politics, #pretendpanel! Still, I think it's important to think about it in our writing.
