Hi #Booksky! It's time to re-introduce myself. I'm Yolanda (she/her) & I live in Sydney, Australia. I write horror tales that bleed into other genres.

I'm a horror freak, bibliophile + I love 80s tunes, cozy vibes & vampires. 🦇

PS. Also, the answer is yes. We did memorise a bunch of phone numbers.

OMG. 😅

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

The paperback and eBook (on my Kobo Libra Colour) of Melancholy Delusions with the title on top and my name on the bottom, both in green. Beautiful cover featuring a woman looking into a mirror with some creepy things in the reflection.

I'm so disappointed. I quite enjoyed the beginning, but it just gets worse unfortunately. 😣

Hate it when you're excited about a book (because you LOVED the first one) & the prequel/sequel starts out well, but before you know it you're halfway through & it's SO fucking boring. 🥱

Yes, I'm unfortunately talking about We Love You, Bunny.

It's Monday. Time to start the week with a late afternoon walk around the river.

Feeling headachy/shitty during the weekend sucks. 😒

OMFG. Are these people serious? It took this loser three days to reply with THAT?! Use your own brain to come up with your own words. FFS.

AI sucks so hard. When is it going away?! 😡

Happy Birthday, Nat! 🥳 Hope you have an awesome day!!

#Booksky, if you're looking for a short story collection this Halloween, mine includes 17 creepy tales. 🎃

It's also a great introduction to my writing.

Let me know which one is your fave.

True. Publishing can be soul crushing in so many ways, so telling an author you liked their story is awesome.

If you like a book, let the author know. It doesn't pay the bills, but the encouragement can do a lot for morale in an industry that's soul crushing.

Total shitshow. SO FREAKING BAD!!

RIP Diane Keaton. Being an 80s kid, I watched a lot of movies starring Diane Keaton & always enjoyed her performances.

Really not surprised. There's a reason why I deleted my IG at the beginning of 2025 & why I REFUSE to use Meta.

I hear there's one more season of Yellowjackets. Won't be watching because after the terrible S3, IDGAF what happens next or how it ends.

I have reigned in most of my anger but know my books are STILL up on Amazon. Please do not purchase them.
