#FantasyIndiesSpooktober #WritingCommunity Day 2 Yup. My character is a vampire. He is the terror in the night, the predator that hunts the living blood in his enemies. Stephen has faced his foes, fangs and claws ready to rip into them. Darkness retreats before his eyes. He loves spookiness.

#SeptemberWorldbuilders 30 Tropes I like My absolute favorite kind of character is a research wizard. Someone who is so in love with magic that they MUST know how it works. Sure, eye of newt, but left or right? And what kind of newt? Does tapioca work instead? #writingcommunity #booksky

so I wake up to find that Hegseth summoned the entire brass to tell them we now protect and revere rapists and war criminals in the US military, followed by Trump holding a mini campaign rally and whining about lack of applause, and this is somehow basically the best case scenario

There's a scene at the beginning of the Conan remake when Ron Perlman lifts baby Conan above his head right after he's born & yells. Just holding a baby & roaring. I would take that job at a hospital. I'll be in the delivery room, I'll hold your baby up & I will scream then take my lunch break

#SeptemberWorldbuilders 28 Magic associated with Light or darkness One of my MC's favorite spells is a mystical flash bomb, a burst of light and sound that disorients his enemies. It sadly isn't always effective with the advances in technology #writingcommunity #booksky

#SeptemberWorldbuilders 27 Myths about Light/Darkness Sunlight purifies. So does fire. That is why vampires hate them both, and do their best to avoid them. Especially when they are in space. They burn, but the vacuum prevents flames from forming. It feels like torture. #writingcommunity #booksky

Hehehehehehehehehe got wood?

Counting down to the release of Book 2 of Nox Astra, The Shadow Between Thoughts on October 18th! We're finishing up character week with my author casting! I swear I'm not trying to type cast Jack O'Connell as an Irish vampire, it's based on Eden Lake. #booksky #writingcommunity

#SeptemberWorldbuilders 26 Dark Places The planet of Tartarus is riddled with underground cities and tunnels. But they are bright and full of light. At the center, though, there is a temple where light never shines. At the center sits Basileus, the ancient vampire ruler. #writingcommunity #booksky

I'm going to have to sue Home Depot for this unauthorized use of my likeness.

Today I learned that the phrase "Rage Dump" means to let go or release anger, instead of becoming so angry you poop, as I originally thought.

#SeptemberWorldbuilders 24 Symbolism of Darkness When you're a vampire, darkness symbolizes home, safety. Well, as safe as any home can be when your family is a bunch of blood hungry monsters caught up in an eternal struggle for more power and influence. So... not safety #writingcommunity #booksky

#SeptemberWorldbuilders 22 Symbolism of Light When your Main Character is a vampire, light often means danger. It means you are not safe, and you are operating sub optimally. Trying to hide in a planet size underground city, where every inch is illuminated, is a risk. #writingcommunity #booksky

#SeptemberWorldbuilders 20 Has your MC even been to an ocean? The love of Stephen's undeath is a Creole woman, born and raised on the Mississippi delta. Together they have crawled through every inch of the bayou, coast, and the Gulf of Mexico. It's where they relax. #writingcommunity #booksky
