Finished my book! (Spores!)

Now comes the part of murdering my darlings (oh no!) to get this baby ready for prime time.

I'm sharing a chart with the evolution of the word count, for those who are data curious (big plateau in the middle was a long revision).

Here's the mood board for horror/mystery WIP: "SPORES".

The story takes place in Tillamook Forest, Oregon, where the ultra-wealthy have built a mysterious retreat at the lakeside...

What's up with all those mushrooms?

Chapter 2 of my horror mystery novel... the family just arrived at the institute. Is the horror vibe coming through?

I recently learned that the Kraken from Pirates of the Caribbean is not an octopus, but a squid!

My guess is it was inspired by the colossal squid, the largest cephalopod there is. They grow up to 14 ft/4.2 m, and they're prey for sperm whales!
