Well, I tried to get good photos of Charlie and Loki for #fantasyindiesnovember, but Loki was a bit too squirrelly and Charlie is already tired of her brother for today. 😅 Gotta love the fur babies! 🐾💜

📚 #fantasyindiesnovember day 2 📚
I was about six years old. I loved writing all sorts of stories, especially with my friend in middle school. My debut novel was released in 2011–it’s humbling yet cool to see how much I’ve grown as an author.

Guilt or regret in WIP
Both Lark and Sylas regret tricking each other, but there’s nothing they can do to fix it now, so they just have to learn to deal with it.

This isn’t what the ghost librarian looks like in The Magic Collector, but it’s as close as I could get! 👻
If you like mild spooky that’s more vibes with lots of adventure and a slowburn romance, try my gothic fantasy romance inspired by Howl’s Moving Castle.

📚 What are your spooky book recs? 📚
I like vibes without a ton of scary stuff, so most of these fall into the category of creepy vibes but nothing too intense (Jurassic Park being the most gruesome).

I’m very particular about what type of scary media. I’ve branched out into some thriller books recently, and I’m currently reading the second Jurassic Park book. Definitely darker than the movies!
