Rather than working on my WIPs (yeah, plural), I've been tinkering with 3D modelling, Would this get you to give my books a look? #writingcommunity #horror #histfic #yabooks #croatia #korcula #wip #blender #itsrainingbooks #readers

Full beach bum mode. Let’s just say I’m researching my WIP, which includes a sea spirit. #writingcommunity #horror #beachbum #croatia #korcula #wip

My first book, Island at the Edge of War, was dedicated in part to the Cheshire Moon. #writingcommunity #histfic #croatia #korcula #ottoman #attack #historical

A wayward wish. A tourist digging the unexpected results. And a Wish Servant having an existential crisis. Available on many online outlets in all forms. #writingcommunity #horror #wish #croatia #goodreads #strangetale

One more follower and I’ll hit 200! It’s a slow burn. Who will it be? And will there be treats or just this random picture? #writingcommunity #horror

How do you pick names for your main characters? For my first book, a YA historical fiction, I pondered this for days, researching period-accurate names and even consulting some historians. A bit over-the-top, yeah? #writingcommunity #characters #names #horror

Watching The Leopard on Netflix reminded me of this going-away gift from
my boss, Bob Harris, when I started my international gig a few years ago. #writingcommunity #theleopard #inspiration

Ironically, my first book, Island at the Edge of War, started with both a map and a compass rose.
