Writing isn't coming easy recently, but I managed to peck out some words in ToA2.
Text: “All of this, the fighting, the killing. Even now, after all you’ve taught me, I still had to beg for help.” “You did what you had to.” She hadn’t expected leniency, though Wulfren probably wouldn’t have considered it as such, offered flatly with no coddling undertones. She hadn’t wanted it, either. She shouldn’t have needed it. She shook her downturned head, glaring at the back of Svir’s neck. “I should’ve–” “You did what you should have,” Wulfren said shortly. “You survived.”

Don't tell anyone, but you can have a sneak peek 🤫
Text: CHAPTER ONE I am a collection of everything everyone else has always needed me to be, and now they do not like the monster they have created. This unsilent creature, crawling with thought, blistering with opinion, acid tongued and glaring eyes, willed into an unwilling existence. Would I have known happiness, had I pieced myself together instead? Would I have been more pleasing, more palatable, more accepted, had I grown from other shadows?

Did you read INHERITING HER GHOSTS and enjoy your time exploring High Hearth's dark history alongside Eudora?

Then you should join Netta as she returns to her childhood home, a house never haunted now held captive by the supernatural, in BOTTLING HIS GHOSTS!

A graphic depicting the cover of Inheriting Her Ghosts with the text "If you liked this..." above it and a line of animal paws leading from it to the cover of Bottling His Ghosts. There are also text descriptors: Victorian gothic horror, strong female leads, terrifying ghosts, remote haunted manors, two of the best boys in all literature.

I lost my 2 elderly pups 2 months apart earlier this year. Now my 4 year old boy has to go in for blood work to determine why he's having repeat UTIs (something young male dogs aren't supposed to get). Trying not to jump to the worst case scenario, but my mind is a labyrinth of terrible possibility.

I only curled up tighter when the floorboards outside my room creaked, and thrice the same knock came, this time upon my door.
"Mercy," a shivering whisper begged. “Please. Mercy."

"She belongs to this place. She's part of it. The loneliness. The hollow. It radiates from her, rushing through the floors to claw through the knotted wood, hoping to pull me down into the foundation. To make me part of it, like her."

Sometimes I just need to take a break from horror and write a bit of fluff.
Text: “You know what they say about a man with a large plume,” Simi continued. Rohga met her friend’s solemn gaze with a stifled snicker. “No,” she managed with a straight face. “What do they say?” She leaned in, palms pressed flat against the table and shoulders squared, as if she were about to reveal some great, secret truth. “He’s wearing on his head what he wishes he had in his trousers.” Adama cut in, slamming down three pewter mugs with a guffaw. Simi sat back and claimed a mug with a small frown tugging at the corners of her mouth. “I don’t think a man wants a feather in his trousers, Adama.”

I've been really bad about all things writerly lately, but it's Halloween week, so I'd be remiss if I didn't throw out a reminder that I am indeed a horror writer who writes about strong women squaring off against all manner of spookiness 👻🎃

The casual observer: Haha, the shark bed makes it look like it ate her!

Me, who knows she is fur-covered murder puponified: She carved out its insides while it was still alive and made a home of the bloody hollow.

Hi, my name is Evie. My mom thought she was giving me a cute nickname for Evelyn, but really it's short for EVISERATOR, DESTROYER OF WORLDS. Anyway, I'm currently on home quarantine after my latest attempted homicide victim was a bat. Mom calls me death by 1,000 cuts in a fur coat. She loves me 🥰
