On September 18th The Sea Witch Follows, comes ashore. A love story to lonely lighthouses, the dim light of oil lanterns, and the scent of sea spray in the air. Of dark thunderstorms looming and light rain pattering on the windows.

Editing my lighthouse book while listening to a lightning storm outside really helps to set the mood. 🕯️🌊

Anytime I get to add the word like “grotesquerie” to a book, it always makes me happy. 😁

We’ve all seen the meme. In a world that seems to be burning down around us, it captures that horrible frozen feeling many of us have.

Lately a new version has been making the rounds, where “This is fine” is replaced with “Buy my book.” ...

The End. Those two little words always make me happy.

I finished the 1st draft of my Lighthouse Project a while back, a YA dark fantasy book. Now I’m deep in transcribing and doing edits & I’m loving it even more on the read-through. This one is going to be fun! 🕯️🌊

I will never cease to be amazed by books. Seriously. Just think about it; thousands of people read the same book, but in everyone’s brain’s the characters look different, the setting changes etc. We are all reading the same thing, but it's so unique to each of us.
That is a beautiful thing.

There’s something really wonderful about how you finish reading a fantastic book and you come out of the little cocoon you’ve been living in for hours. You’re surrounded by sleepy cats, your tea cup is empty, and you’ve got that satisfied glow of completing a well-told story.

I’m only about a third of the way through and really loving this book so far! Nice to escape into a high fantasy with such incredible world-building for a little while. It’s like taking a mini vacation with every chapter. So well put together! ✨💕
