I know I only just posted this last week but I'm reposting it! Because it makes me happy to see all the adventures my little witchy book has taken me on in the past year. And it motivates me to continue living out my dreams. I hope it motivates you too. Never give up! Your dreams can come true!
Happy 1st birthday to The Bone Key!

THE WEEKLY BREW: Taking the Plunge
Something I've been wanting to do for a while is calling to me in a very real way and I've decided it's time to refocus my efforts. If you’ve been following these (mostly) weekly updates, you know I’ve been shopping around a Dystopian horror novel, finishing the sequel to The Bone Key, working on various novellas and the short story collection…

My weekly update, where I both celebrate new ideas and lament about having to re-outline my latest novella.
THE WEEKLY BREW: Fresh Eyes
It’s time for some fresh eyes - and no…I’m not talking about something creepy for Halloween! As you might know from my previous posts, I’ve been working on a folk horror novella. I spent time brainstorming, outlining, and I started drafting it last month. But…I’ve only made it to Chapter 4. I don’t feel excited to work on it.
