What does this song make you think of? It's inspired by A Solemn Silhouette, the fantasy novel I #amquerying. Other writers dedicate themselves to short stories, I prefer song! Please ignore my dog in the background. Pretend he's a dragon...a big cuddly hairy dragon... #fantasynovel

I won't lie. I bawled my eyes out when I wrote this. I wrote it for me, for every woman who has ever been harmed by power. To hear those words, to be told in no uncertain terms that this is the love you deserve, this is what youre worth of... #WIPsnips #fantasy #amquerying

I wrote this song yesterday morning & recorded it in bed 🛌 It's for my FMC & I've dedicated to all the amazing writers & authors out here trying to touch the starlight & reach new horizons.

I wrote this poem 9 years ago. It's about trauma & dissociation. This was before my mind finally trauma-dumped everything I'd been through as a child & teen. Looking back, it must have scared the 💩 out of my abusers as they read this. That is a happy thought. #poetry #survivor

Here's another song from my novel. The Exile Song from my fantasy novel, A Solemn Silhouette. It's sung by my main character at a crucial moment of betrayal and hopelessness...a song of old written 1000 years before when her people were either slaves or in exile. #amquerying #fantasy

Disclaimer: A Solemn Silhouette is NOT inspired by current events & will NOT infuriate Christian Nationalists NOR inspire revolutionary spiritual thinking from the margins of power. It's a grounded fantasy, grounded in nothing like our world 👀

In a world where therapy has not been invented, AuDHD has never been treated, a hyperactive woman gets together with a King w/ daddy issues.
I joked about using this song as a pitch but here I am!!!
....🥁 (drum roll please)

A Solemn Silhouette.

Looking back at when my bookcases were tidy 🤣📚 Now it's coming into cosy-up-with-a-book season, I'll have to get them tidied again. Only problem is, I usually start then find something I want to read!

A poem I wrote, about why I write, poignant title, I Write. May resonate with other writers here! 🥰✨️

It is 1798 in Ireland. Three friends are accused of rebel activity. One lies dead, another is flogged & Nathaniel is waiting his turn. The village watches in horror. The English woman he loves is coming to help...but will she reach him on time?
