Newsletter day! This month you can follow my adventures in fixing a painting error I made two years ago and enjoy a sweet story about Millie helping another dog get adopted. Check out my website (link in bio) to read or sign up for future updates! #writingsky #writerlife #newsletter #fantasyauthor

Stranded by car troubles, Sophie meets Milo, an elderly man looking to reunite with a former lover. As Sophie tries to prove herself to be the perfect wingman, the two bond over drinks and tales of their past loves in a hotel that may be filled with more magic than anyone realizes. #shortstory

WIP! Working on a short story about wizards trading memories back and forth via flowers and it’s romantic and melodramatic as all heck and I love it 💖 #writersky #writing #wip #shortstories #fantasy

Haven’t posted a haiku in a while, whoops. Here’s one about my dog 💖 #poetrysky #writersky #haikus #poetry #melodramamonday #corgi

After consuming most of my life for the past year and a bit, this friend is finally out in the world! Kinda strange to not be constantly writing/editing it. Available wide as an ebook and through the zon for physical copies! #booksky #writersky #fantasybooks #indieauthors

So excited to be included in this! I’m part of the flora crew!

Convincing you to read my book with some of my favourite snippets! Less than a week until release! #booksky #fantasy #romanticfantasy #sweetromance #writingsky #authorsky

My dog is the sweetest and I will accept 0 criticisms. 💖 She has also definitely known 0 hardships, but that doesn’t stop her from being a drama queen or snoozing like she’s worked a day in her life. Happy Monday! #writersky #poetrysky #poems #haikus #corgis #melodramamondays

Between the chapters there are diary entries from Arycelle! These were a blast to write and I hope everyone has fun reading them (and shoutout to @rdawnraven.bsky.social for helping me make the year system not super confusing 💖) Releases Nov 1! Sign up for an eARC! #booksky #writingsky #fantasy

Almost forgot to post! The continuing saga of this cat REALLY not wanting my friend to read. Happy Monday! #writersky #poetrysky #poetry #poems #haiku #melodramamondays

Got the eARCs out and got the book up on Goodreads and Storygraph! You can still sign up if you want! It’s a prequel but I’ll send you the first book for free too if you sign up! #writersky #booksky #indiebooks #fantasybooks #fantasy #romantasy #sweetromance #earc #indiebooks

Introducing our spooky demon~ Sign up for an eARC! I’m going to have them ready to send out by the end of tomorrow! #booksky #writersky #fantasy #romantasy #sweetromance #andthenatrainwreckofademonpact #earc #indiebooks

WIP Wednesday! EditOutLoud is down so I had to switch to Speechify and I’m sad (eARCs should be ready by the weekend though!) In other news, my short story got accepted by Indie Bites and will be in their November issue! I’m very excited for everyone to meet the loveable disaster that is Sophie 🥰

The cat has gone home, yet the haikus continue… My friend sent me this picture and I couldn’t NOT write one. His expression was too perfect! (Clearly, he had other ideas about her attempts to read) Happy Monday! #writersky #poetrysky #poems #haikus #poetry #melodramamondays

Want a fantasy that’s half slow-burn romance, half train-wreck of a demon pact you can’t look away from? A Damsel and a Demon releases November 1st! Sign up for an eARC if you’re interested! #writersky #booksky #fantasy #romanticfantasy #indiebooks #indieauthor

WIP Wednesday! Since Amazon can’t follow their own printing guidelines, I’m trying to live my dreams of white text on a black background through a creepy demon mirror. I haven’t test printed it yet but hopefully it works better! #writersky #wipwednesday #booksky #fantasybooks

Something a little different today! My friend’s cat went home last week but not before I made some tuna wraps. Perhaps unsurprisingly, he was absolutely FERAL for tuna. He even knocked over the recycling bin to get at the rinsed out tin! #writersky #poetrysky #poetry #poems #melodramamondays

Going to post snippets every week leading up to the release on November 1st! Today, we have a little snippet from the prologue to get us started. eARC signups are available on my website (link on the last photo or in my bio!) #writersky #booksky #fantasy #fantasybooks #indiebooks #earc

WIP…Thursday?? We’ll just be a day off this week. Yeah… This is from a short story I’m working on. The main characters have a “would you love me if I was a ____” and after one tells the other she’s late, her retort is, “I would love you if you were a snail.” 🐌 #writersky #wipwednesdays #fantasy

A day late because yesterday was a holiday and I definitely didn’t forget what day it was… These were written as part of a D&D campaign where my character (the squid) was trying to advise my sister’s character against taking an interest in the suspicious pirate captain. #writingsky #poetrysky

WIP Wednesday! Almost done with my Indie Bites submission! Whether or not this one gets accepted, I really like how it came out, and will probably write more short stories with the main character! Then got my cozy fantasy short story down below the max wordcount! #writersky #writing #fantasy #wip

Last week my work computer had to do a Windows 11 update and the estimated time was one hour so…haikus? I quite like this one, actually. Happy Melodrama Monday! #writersky #poetrysky #poetry #haikus #melodramamonday

WIP Wednesday! This week I’m working on editing my short story for Indie Bites’s “Potions and Paramours” issue (featuring this very fantastic drink my sister once had) and plotting a cozy fantasy short story that I also hope to submit at the end of the month. #writersky #wip #wipwednesday

Melodrama Monday on Tuesday because I had a migraine yesterday (booo weather) Again featuring my friend’s cat. He is with us until September. He looked so pleased with himself in the mirror. #writersky #poetry #haikus #melodramamondays #icantwritepoetry

WIP Wednesdays! How does one write shorter short stories? This is my third this year and they all seem to be clocking in around 6500 words. Maybe one day, I will learn. For now, I continue! #writersky #shortstories #wipwednesdays

My neighbour put up a funny man while I was on vacation 😂 #writersky #poetry #haikus #melodramamondays #icantwritepoetry

Melodrama Mondays on Tuesday because I had a migraine yesterday and couldn’t look at screens. This week brought to you by my friend’s cat who will be all sweet and lovely until he gets “biting face” and then all bets are off. #writersky #poetry #haikus #melodramamondays #icantwritepoetry

WIP Wednesday! I’m working on a short story about an old man and a dragon and this is the beginning bit. It was supposed to be cute and fun and then it made me cry. Set in the same world as A Sorceress and Scones because references are fun. #writersky #shortstory #wip #wipwednesday

Welcome to a new series I am calling “Melodrama Mondays”! In which I post melodramatic poetry for…fun? This is in preparation for a story I want to write in probably a few years in which the main character expresses herself through absurdly melodramatic poetry. #writersky #poetry #icantwritepoetry

After MANY iterations, I am very pleased with how the page break for A Damsel and a Demon came out. 💖 I think it fits the vibes! #booksky #writersky #fantasybooks #wip

Want some free ebooks? Head on over to allieleigh.com to download either (or both!) of these this month! Happy Pride! #booksky #writersky #fantasybooks #lgbtqbooks #freebooks

If anyone uses Smashwords, both of my books are available for free until March 8th as part of Read an Ebook week! You can check out a sweet, sapphic, cozy fantasy (with a prequel coming next year!), or a whimsical fairy tale, if either of those are up your alley! #booksky #indiebooks #cozyfantasy

This just in: the collective noun for fireflies is a "sparkle" and this is just too cute and my favourite thing that I have learned while writing today. ❤️ #writingcommunity #writersky

Definitely Celeste. She's Arycelle's best friend, loves books, loves writing, and is the voice of reason for the group. From the earliest stages of planning to what the story is now, she has changed the most, and I love who her character has become. #QueerPrompts #booksky #writingcommunity

Not gonna post a snippet for this cause it’s too spoilery, but there is an aro character in my WIP and a scene involving them is 1 out of 2 times that I made myself cry while drafting this thing. And the teardrops went and bled through a few pages. Hope I can still read it 😅 #QueerPrompts #booksky

So, one of my main goals in typing up this draft is giving poor Gino a hobby. So anyway, he gardens now. And I'm having a great time weaving it in throughout and it's leading to delightful snippets like this. #QueerPrompts #writersky #writingcommunity

I mean, there's a quote for these two later that fits this prompt perfectly but I'm not at that spot yet in typing up my draft so this bit from the end of Chapter 1 will have to do ❤️ #QueerPrompts #booksky #writingcommunity

This snippet features Celeste, who has been Arycelle's best friend since they were five. She's a bookworm and a playwright and the sober second thought that Arycelle desperately needs. And I just love how in this snippet she's instantly like, "No, do not be an idiot." #QueerPrompts #booksky
