With this year's re-issue of Katharine Briggs's Dictionary of Fairies, Matthias Egeler's book on Elves and Fairies and my new history of Fairies coming in spring, it feels as though we are living through a moment of reawakening for fairy studies

My late hamster, Meep, gave me the greatest compliment whenever he let me hold him without biting. He was grumpy and scared and disliked being held, so letting me hold him and not biting me was his way of saying I love you. It was the greatest honour to be trusted by him. Miss you Meep <3
What is the best compliment you ever received? Putting aside whether or not you believed it.

I’ve stopped trying to write perfectly. I just try to write like myself on purpose now. The rest will sort itself out.

I had a book come out this year that you can vote for! The Island of Dreams is a dark YA fantasy inspired by Peter Pan that focuses on disability and ageism and our assumptions about whose dreams are eligible for paradise and a chosen path to the good place.

I would be so 🦃thankful🦃 if you checked out my short story, "A State of Emergency" in the horror/thriller anthology, AFTER DARK!
It's a psychological horror/magic realism story, a perfect autumn read!

I love chasing that “flow.” But sometimes you just have to show up, make a mess, and trust the edit. No flow in sight.

It still feels surreal that people connected with the first book, and I'd love to give something back.
If this post hits 500 shares, I'll make the Beyond The Mark eBook free for all of December.
No catch, just a thank you for the support and a push to keep me writing.

Being a writer is like surfing. Always hoping to catch the perfect wave, but most of your time will be spent paddling against the tide or just floating, waiting, eyes on the horizon while you watch other people riding their highs into the sunset. But you have to love the work more than the ride.

As a society, we've got to get better at spotting AI, and we need laws to require people to label AI content. These two "photos" are obviously AI-generated, but it is becoming harder to spot and will become even harder.
