A reader told me that ALiCE was what got them into Horror as a genre. I still smile and kick my feet a little whenever I think of that!

#FantasyIndiesDecember Day 12, enjoy a snippet from my current WIP! "The Night Train" is inspired by real-world radio shows like Suspense (1942-1962) and Nightbeat (1950-1952)! Television doesn't exist in Stellar Eclipse, so radio shows are the staple of home entertainment.

how much water does it take to disrupt the careers of millions of people? how much water does it take to make deepfakes of underage kids? how much water does it take to exacerbate people's mental health crises? is there a good number? is there an acceptable number?

I'm asking my husband for an engraved wooden page holder! They're so lovely, and it would help me a lot when I'm doing editing work with paperback copies. Nice bookmarks and stationary are always good ideas, too!

Lots of bills are due this time of year, so maybe you could spare a few dollars and get some lovely art for yourself?

I don’t care if your book has a Paint cover. I don’t care if you have typos. I don’t care if you took the cover photo with your phone. But I do not want to read a book YOU DID NOT WRITE.
Writing requires you to write. To feel. To think. To impart that. That is step one to Being a Writer.

A deadbeat guitarist's bad night gets worse when he's thrust into hell, seraphs demanding his death hot on his heels. His only hope is another angel, one with eyes he used to know.

#FantasyIndiesDecember 8: Season(s) in WIP
The timeline in Cloudless Rain is actually really important, as it is set just over a week before the winter solstice--which, if you recall from previous days, is a major holiday (negative). That sets the story in late autumn/early winter.

What I say: I've outlined a new book to write!
What I mean: I've imagined a couple of really cool cinematic scenes, and now I need to figure out how to turn it into an actual story.

I live in America—more to the point, Im sick in America. The only way I can get the meds I need is w/ Patreon.
Writers get lots of lessons on building craft & honing skills. Readers get VIP access to my books and art. Everyone gets an amazing Discord community. $5/month makes a huge difference!

The bad news is my Patreon membership dropped low enough that I had to stop refilling some of my meds.
The good news is that I now know exactly what those meds were doing for me and that they worked quite well.
Not upset at all at those patrons! Life is terrible. Very upset with my body, though!
