A messy witch’s altar with various things like candles and books. A fan art picture of Dave Gahan from Depeche Mode has been placed at a position of prominence.

At the most important part of the novel planning stage: making a playlist.

Any recommendations for what you might add? It’s a dark romance involving a vampire and a demon.
A small selection of songs leaving a lot to build on. The vibe is: a vampire and a demon murder their enemies and fornicate in their lives blood.

Nearly murdered myself this month trying to make it to 50k, but here we are.

Me, looking chagrined because I’m autistic and apparently this is my comfort outfit right now.

Ah the naive hope that comes with creating a new book outline. As if my characters aren’t going to light it on fire at the first opportunity.

My Substack is now up and running. I have three stories - supernatural fantasy, historical fantasy, and historical fantasy romance - updating weekly.

For my Patreon subscribers, I'm going to be duplicating these posts there.

Graphic says 'Three Queer Stories, All in One Place' and features three different images. One centers on a young white man flanked by two other people, one male the other female. The center picture is a rose over a flaming pentacle. The last image is two men, one in a hat.
