Oklahoma author and multimedia creator living on the homestead. Just a weird old chick trying to live her best backwoods gothic life. You can find me on Facebook, Instagram, and on YouTube on my channel called Cat Tale Acres.
Current vibe at my house, lol. Almost ready to fall apart— Same, house, same.

Lilacs remind me of you. The sparkle of your smiling eyes— The depth of your rage. The curious way you eyed a vacant piano—the
Ponderous way you worked the garden rows. You loved them so but never could grow them yourself, but now, Mama, I can.

Today, I #amwritingfantasy with a brand new 17 page outline for Book 1 of the Nemeton series. This book is a little outside my #horror zone, but it'll make an interesting #darkfantasy. It's my first big foray into worldbuilding since the Nova Wave series, and I'm eager to bring this one to life.

Getting a tiny head start on reading for the 2026 iteration of The #bookreviewchallenge. I’ll be taking 2025 off it to pursue other video creation interests. Watch for monthly-ish channel posts, though this year will be chaotic due to cats, documenting home construction & moving. #cattaleacres

Hey #writingcommunity and #readingcommunity What are some of your favorite #bookish gifts? (Aside from books,lol.)
I’m fond of useful things that enhance the writing experience, like a genre-themed desk set or writer-centric mugs or tees.

12 years ago, I quit my job as a lunchlady & went to school for #writing. I still remember the trepidation that woman felt. I still remember the thrill of possibility. Now, 4 books & several stories later, I can say that it was worth it. This story will probably never be published, but it mattered.

Back to the #WIP after Thanksgiving. So glad I took November off this year. Up next, a #bookreviewchallenge video about launch plans and how to get the word out about your book. Keep an eye out for it.

Hi folks,
My name is D.E. Chandler. I write Dark Fantasy & Horror. I love to write horror, because it's a great interrogator of society and psychology. Horror confronts taboo in dramatic or subtle ways that ask readers to check their personal moral compass, you know, for decay. 🙃 #HorrorWritersChat

Here's a question for our #writingcommunity and #horrorwritingcommunity folks. What are some things newer horror writers might not know to keep in mind as they're getting started? I've read a lot and written some, but now I wonder what other advice #horror folks might have.

For our first three years here at Cat Tale Acres, we had a pair of turkeys my husband affectionately called Goober (male) and Gus (female,) and we always joked they were they luckiest turkeys in the world in November. They didn't even need a pardon to live out their lives. We miss them this month. 💔
