Question Would you be interested in a monthly fiction snail mail delivery? It could be either a continuing serial or stand alone short stories. I keep getting asked why I don’t offer something like this so here I am asking if there’s interest. Let me know your thoughts

My newest creation is Gretchen the Semi-Fiendish Forest Spirit. I designed & hand-sewed her, & I hand-embroidered all her flowers and markings. Gretchen is admittedly fiendish but only when she's on the job protecting her forest from brutes, cads, and other wrongdoers.

My newest creation is Amelia the Lovely and the Terrible. I designed and hand-sewed her, and I hand-embroidered all her flowers and markings. She is lovely to good people and terrible to bad ones. She enjoys coming up with new blessings, curses, and cookie recipes.

Triptych from Meteora. Surreal, breathtaking, iconic. 600m above sea-level and site of six active monasteries, the earliest dating back to the 14th century. Each houses ornate frescoes and artefacts. The 5 hour journey was worth it đź“·

My newest creation is this fabric art Krampus. I designed and hand-sewed him. I also made his chain and bundle of sticks. He enjoys riding the yule moose through chthonic woodlands. His favorite wintertide treat is eggnog mixed with a bit of human soul.

Three things: 1. Glad Jake Paul finally had a real fight and got his jaw broken. 2. Ese cabrón isn’t Puerto Rican and most definitely doesn’t represent my country. 3. If you hate folks like Jake Paul and have any kind of love for PR, this book is for you.
