So lucky to be surrounded by forests this time of year.

And these golden lights! I wish I could scoop up some of them in a jam jar and keep them on the mantelpiece for a bit of lasting glow throughout the winter.

Got a ton of badges to give away tomorrow at Fantasy Con🥳 So excited to meet fellow authors and be a part of the mayhem! 🤩

The award-winning “I” For Immortality is eerie, dark, with a touch of the profound. And it’s yours for a super-low price this #Halloween.

'"I" For Immortality is a story of change & permanence, & reading it permanently changed me.' - Amazon reviewer.

Why did I start a podcast out of sheer desperation? Why do I play a surrealist word game to create #writingprompts to inspire my writing, and my fellow writers?

What do the Socks of Destiny look like, exactly? 🫣😆

We came, we thought, we weirded ourselves out a bit, then we laughed!

All part of a deep-thinking interview about short story writing.

It's time.

I'm coming out as an elf.

My (human) husband and I are in an inter-species relationship. 😆😆🤪

Merry Christmas Eve-eve-eve! 🎄🎉

Fancy a short read? Just a reminder that The Midnight Ship is a weird, atmospheric fantasy that's free to download at www.annatizard.com.

After the story (about 6k words) I describe how I was inspired by a writing prompt generated by a mysterious word game - and the suggestions of other players!

Authors, share details of your short story collections! 🤗

Here's my first: Portals & Immortals has shapeshifting ghosts, telepathic goblins, a cat demon, a time loop, illegal magic, and an alchemist on the run.

Each tale was first brainstormed on my podcast, Brainstoryum.

Excited for Brainstoryum episode 68 to drop tomorrow. ✍️🥳

This one has short stories with dryads, nymphs & kelpies. 🍀

You never know what will emerge from the *Socks of Destiny* - sometimes writing prompts just come together.

Incl. fab ideas from fellow authors on the "moonlit phantom". 😲 See 📌!
