My medallion arrived a few weeks ago, but I was so busy with the festival that I forgot to post it.
I’m so honored to have even placed.
My short story, One Samhain Night, took 4th place in the spiritual and inspirational category of the 94th Writer’s Digest Annual Writing Competition.

Guess who just finished a chapter and a half of the new Hecate Grimm novel?

This is the worst. It's like breaking up. You're left pondering all the what-ifs, but it's over. You have to move on. The relationship has nowhere to go. Having feelings for fictional characters is a complex phenomenon.

In honor of National Science Fiction Day, please tell me your favorite sci-fi authors. I haven't dug much into this genre literary-wise, but of course, I adore it in movies and TV shows, so why shouldn't I pick up a few new books?

I hope 2025 is the year you find love, compassion, and understanding for each other and yourselves. I encourage you to list things you love about yourself and set achievable goals that inspire growth. May The Wheel of Fortune bring you prosperity and peace of mind.

XOXO,

My local library is so supportive, and they just fill this author's heart with glee when I see my book front and center 😍

If? Pshhhh, please. I wake up every morning a hearth witch. Though, I might make a solid library witch too. What about you?

In the last few years, I have enjoyed Mask of Mirrors by M.A. Carrick. It gives me that edgy Halloween bite I crave while also being long enough for me to spend days curled up with a blanket and tea, savoring its dark delights.
