Videl thinks she has a handle on her demonic life:

🔥Torture guilty souls
⚖️Tempt humans to sin
💔Resist falling in love with her mentor

She *didn't* think she'd have to worry about her abuela, the wicked witch who made her a demon in the first place.

Moodboard for Secondhand Soul, a novel. Images include: A shadowy wraith with red eyes, a woman in a low cut dress holding a dagger against her skin, a book of spells held open by a pair of hands, two hands touching, one stained black and the other beginning to stain, a hand holding a black snake, a statue covered in ivy, a man's face half in shadow, a book burning. The quote "How do you destroy a monster without becoming one?" sits in the middle.

Thanks to her power-hungry abuela, Videl faces life as a demon. She must follow the contract, or die at the hands of her handsome mentor, Marcus. But Abuela soon comes calling, forcing Videl into a fight she never wanted for family she'll never know.

Newly soulless, witch-turned-demon Videl just wants to forget her power-hungry abuela's betrayal.

But moving on is impossible when Abuela decides to defy Lucifer, threatening Videl's new existence and what's left of her family.

Moodboard for Secondhand Soul. Images include: The silhouette of a couple in a doorway, a messy desk littered with images surrounding a lit candle, the blurry image of a figure holding a torch in the woods, the silhouette of a floating figure with shadows bursting from its back, a black cat with glowing eyes sitting on a wire fence in the fog, a hand holding an ornate mirror.

Waaaay back I self-pubbed two books for funsies. I haven't been able to dedicate the time I should to promoting them, but it's their birthdays today!

If you like fantasy and flawed female characters who are just trying their best, give them a shot!

The covers of my two books, The Fiddler of Dawn and Dusk and Reckoning (The Breach Trilogy #1).

The impulsive thoughts only get stronger the more Videl tries to ignore them.
Kermit/Dark Kermit meme with the text: Videl, trying to retain her humanity as a demon. The urge to torture/punish her abuela for making her a demon.

It’s not that *I* enjoy Bluey. I mean, I do. But it’s mostly because I have a toddler who loves music.

No, really.
Picture of Spotify wrapped listing my top artists as: Bluey, Joff Bush, Quincas Moreira, The Wiggles, MADANII and my top songs as: Bluey Theme Song, Dance Mode, What Else Can I Do?, We Don’t Talk About Bruno, and Merengue de Limon

New demon Videl, lamenting her lack of a soul if only her abuela hadn't traded it in exchange for eternal youth and power.

Forgive her if she's a bit bitter about it.

Fairly Odd Parents meme of the dad saying "This is where I'd put my trophy, if I had one" with text that reads: This is where I'd put my soul, if I had one.

Are you an eldest daughter?
Guilt at your existence hanging over you?
Have an overbearing abuela ruining your life?
Falling in love w/ an emotionally unavailable man?
You may have more in common w/ Videl (newly soulless witch-turned-demon) than you think!

Quote with a game that’s nostalgic to you!

When I say I played this game hundreds of times, I’m not kidding.
