Hi, I’m Rosalie! 🖤
Author of the Black Pines Trilogy, Knock, Knock, and Pretty Girls Don’t Play Dead. Currently brewing The Orchard Witches 🍎🪾

I write soft horror, haunted towns, and stories that linger.

Hi, I’m Rosalie! I write folkloric horror that blends cozy autumn vibes with eerie orchard witches, strange folklore, and stories whispered around the fire. I’m working on my novel The Orchard Witches 🍎🕯️

I'm curious! Do you prefer your horror subtle and creeping, or sharp and shocking?
A new entry has been added to the Dead End Diaries.

This one involves a structure that was supposed to be abandoned.

A team that went in looking for ghosts.

And one survivor who vanished.

If you loved Grave Encounters, Paranormal Activity, or The Blair Witch Project, you’ll love The Black Pines Trilogy.

A story of investigative crews, haunted asylums, and what happens when the cameras keep rolling.

Abandoned is about:
isolation that sinks into your bones
memory that lies
institutions that outlive their purpose
and what happens when a place decides you belong to it

Peeling paint.
Long corridors.
Rooms that feel watched even when empty.

Abandoned is a story about places that refuse to stay silent.

I’m nearing halfway on The Orchard Witches, and I love the way this story is coming together. The characters are settling in, the magic is deepening, and the atmosphere feels exactly right.

It’s one of those projects that makes me excited to sit down and write. I can’t wait to share more with you.

Before accusing an author or artist of using generative AI, pause. Public speculation can destroy careers and livelihoods. That kind of environment doesn’t protect the craft; it pushes creators away from it. If we want artists to stay true to their work, we have to support them, not hunt them.

Between mental health + the holidays, I kind of fell completely off social media. Setting goals this year to be consistent with writing, manage my social media better, and delegate my time between hobbies better. Happy New Year all!

Progress on Abandoned is moving along. I’m getting so close to tying everything together. It’s been a journey weaving all the threads from the first two books. I can’t wait to share the conclusion of the trilogy with you all. 🖤

The Black Pines are whispering… and the end is near.
