Tbf I have very low motivation to post on this app, like two people here will click over to read my stuff despite dozens less than a year ago seeming very hyped at my book idea

Now you could read the current draft for entirely free

But this app stays pretty dead for me outside of promos

I really suck at using more than one form of social media at a time

I simply *forget* that others exist when I find a different one

Briar Ripley Page's grief horror is aching, awkward, ugly, horrific, and genuine (all meant in a complimentary way)!

If you want to see what I mean, pick up Lupus in Fabula, which is a truly excellent collection of horror and Weird fiction: www.cursedmorselspress.com/product/lupu...

I think I maybe might put off editing chapter 3 for one more day and play video games instead

I put way too much time into that standalone piece and now I’m very sleepy 😴

Wrote a new standalone horror piece inspired a bit by Medusa, and a lot by female rage 🔪🩸

Enjoy my nonsense for free on substack because I ramble on too long for any other form of social media:

And chapter 2 is up as well now! They’re best read together since they are slow paced compared to what comes later, so chapter 2 is nicely linked at the bottom of the first one 😄

I’ve decided to throw the story back into the world instead. Not ready for a book yet. There’s too many tangential stories that don’t fit, so I’m just going to put the chapters online and gather feedback for now, figure out what works

So, here’s chapter 1

Creeping onto to the internet in the middle of the night to pass around another short story

This one is a sort of tragic romance, and piece of backstory for one of the characters in my book

NOTHING MORE TO TELL X AGGGTM

Lennie doesn’t know what happened the night her ex-bff went missing but she does know one thing: it’s always the boyfriend.

Lennie Torres’s senior year captaining the XC team turns deadly when her ex bff goes missing and she ends up a suspect. Her only way out? Team up with nemesis golden boy Lysander Hayes, the boyfriend of the missing girl and the last person to see her alive. But Lysander not the only one keeping secrets and if both Lennie and Lysander want to make it through xc season, they’re going to have to figure out how to trust each other or someone’s going to end up dead. Comp titles: nothing more to tell, no place left to hide, they’ll never catch us Unconventional comps: the marauders era cruel summer 2022 pretty little liars 2010 Tropes/vibes: rivals to lovers, running culture, private school, chaotic academia, dual timeline, dual pov, ride or die friendships Hayes takes my hand, wrapping his fingers firmly around mines “Deal.” His eyes glint an odd silver in the chrome and linoleum hallway and I think of people making deals with devils at crossroads. I wonder if they get the same storm of nerves I have swirling in my blood right now. I don’t trust Hayes. But I need him. “Deal.”

DRAGONFALL x FFXIV
When Mick agrees to be his mage bff(/crush) Eleanor's adventuring partner, all he wants is to keep her safe. But a twist of fate changes him into a divine dragon, and his priorities shift to: stop a war, protect Eleanor, and stay alive. In that order.

Three-panel moodboard consisting of three pieces by Alphonse Mucha. Left: Emerald. A serpent snarls at the viewer from amidst green lilies. Center: The Moon. A woman wearing nothing but a navy blanket covered in stars stands against a backdrop consisting of the night sky and a crescent moon. She covers her smile with one hand. This image is noticeably lower in quality than its neighboring panels. Right: Salon des Cent. A woman conceals her mouth with a hand, her index finger curled down. She's glaring intensely at the viewer. A golden filigree lines the bottom and frames the sides, partially covering the left and right panels.

But his old job, and mistakes, come back to haunt him. Literally.

Raised by corporate vampires with little freedom or choice, Alex is used to Yakuza business rivals and back-alley deals. But nothing prepares him for Jason, a witty bartender who challenges everything he knows, and who harbors secrets as deadly as the vampires after him. 💙📚📖

Agent guide for I Am Chosen, an M/M paranormal romance by Dawn Berkoski. The picture is of a fiery orange and purple sunset over a highway. Photography by Dawn Berkoski Several photos are shown on this mood-board for I Am Chosen, a paranormal romance by Dawn Berkoski. From the top left, a glass of aged scotch surrounded by butterscotch candies, a CEO standing in a high rise office, staring out a window, a giant hotel clock surrounded by Christmas decor, a photo of art depicting demons rising from hell, a sunset with black, billowy clouds hovering over an orange stripe, a dirty cement staircase near a darkened entrance, and the city of London as viewed from the river. Photography, except the man, by Dawn Berkoski Photo of a vibrant sunset over a graveyard as seen from the window of a fast moving vehicle. It reads: PITCH: IN A WORLD CONTROLLED BY CORPORATE VAMPIRES, TWO MEN STRUGGLE FOR AUTONOMY. WILL A CHANCE MEETING LEAD THEM TO FREEDOM, OR A WEB OF SUBTERFUGE, WHERE EVERY THREAD BRINGS A MONSTER OFFERING DEATH OR PERMANTENT CONFINEMENT? Photo by Dawn Berkoski Book vibes are all about the feel of the writing, setting, and story. The Blue Blood Series by Melissa de la Cruz Is used to represent the wealthy elite vampires living in New York, the fish out of water trope, dark secrets, and others. The Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice is used to represent young vampires rebelling against old rules and customs. Travel and setting also play a role. A plot point was inspired by the novel. Yakuza, Japan’s Criminal Underworld by David Kaplan and Alec Dubro, is used to represent some of the vampire rivals business practices. It plays a role in the series arch.

A page from an old book showing a skull drawing and the word MORTEM, a well-dressed couple in shadow staring at you with glowing eyes, two skyscrapers looming overhead in the fog, several pistols lying in a cushioned case, a black hole, two doctors performing surgery, a man with his back turned and a woman's hand cradling his head, a cork board of documents and string, six figures cloaked in black and gathered in a semi-circle.
