In Veracruz and Chiapas, the locals whisper of Chaneques — child-sized spirits with mossy hair and dirt-streaked feet. They protect the wild. And they steal your soul.

Not forever—just long enough to leave you lost, dazed, and forever changed.

The fun that can be had by looking through centuries-old poetry to glean faerie lore. I happened upon the Dullahan, perfect fae creature to highlight near Halloween!

"Seven humans, the incarnations from the shards of Dama’s broken heart must arrive to fix what was broken and if they do not arrive, one world will die—human or faery, none can say."

Adversity is rarely fun, even in the best of times. But it shapes us. It sharpens us. It reveals who we are.

Own your cape. You are capable of so much!

What if faebloods were being turned into wererats—then forced into a dark army with nowhere else to go?

Sometimes the most dangerous allies wear the faces of those you were taught to fear.

Ever heard whispers at night? Felt a sudden chill in your warm home? It might be your Domovoy, an old Slavic house spirit said to protect (or punish!) the household.

Every villain begins somewhere. For Pogonias Cromis—better known as the Boggleman, it began in a fishing village many centuries earlier.

As a ✍️creative, I have struggled with obstacles in my path to get to get projects done & something that helped me was changing "shoulda's" to "get to's." Because what you tell yourself matters.

✨Working on revisions -- The second pinch point is closing in… and the world is teetering on the edge.

Some choices break hearts. Others break worlds.
And what they have to do next? Feels impossible.

Stay with the water,” the mushroom sprite said
Simple words. A promise of safety. But Aunia’s steps slip deeper into the stream, the moonlight dimming as the forest closes in. The water hums with memory—of whispers, of the lost, of something watching.

Lurking in the forests of North America, the Pukwudgie is a small, troll-like creature from Native American folklore. Don’t let their size fool you—they’re mischievous, magical, and sometimes downright deadly! 😱

Exploring your inner world not only gives you material to create art but it also allows you to understand yourself better.

Daydreaming isn't a waste of time. Sometimes it IS the heavy lifting.

The messy middle is where stories prove their worth—and I’m deep in it! Aunia, Mathias, and Keston have just clawed their way past the pinch point (yes, wererats are involved), and now the stakes are tightening as I steer toward the midpoint of Faeries Don’t Hide.

What would you think if a friendly werewolf brought you his catch of the day?

You won't see a wulver in my story... since I have wererats, not werewolves but it's fascinating learning faery lore including when faery creatures come into existence...
