I’ve been thinking about how much environment shapes creative focus. Do you work better in familiar surroundings, or when things feel slightly off? #WritingLife #BookSky

Just a heads up that today’s the final day of the Kobo sale- The Crucifix is $1.99 for a little longer. Thanks so much to everyone who’s checked it out so far 🖤 #BookSky

I used to read horror far past bedtime, with just a strip of light coming through the curtains. I loved the quiet of the house and the tension of turning each page. That’s probably where this all started. #Booksky

I love books where the story doesn’t stop when you close it- it follows you into your dreams and makes reality feel slightly off the next day. What was the last book that did that to you? #BookSky #ReadingLife

New country, new coffee. Vietnam is my second stop on the way back home, and today’s highlight was trying a traditional egg coffee- unexpectedly comforting. Sometimes the best thing you can do while travelling is let yourself enjoy something small and unfamiliar. #TravelNotes

Last week of the Kobo sale 🖤 The Crucifix is $1.99 before the price resets. The sense of dread is there from the very first page. 📖 Link in bio #HorrorBooks #BookSale #Kobo #BookSky

Second stop on my way back to Ireland: Malaysia 🇲🇾 Good food, warm sun, unhurried days. I could get used to letting the days set their own pace. #Travel #SlowTravel #WriterLife

🖤 Kobo sale- now live 🖤 The Crucifix is $1.99 for the next two weeks. If you’re in the mood for slow, eerie, haunting horror, now’s a good time to pick it up. 📖 Link in bio #HorrorBooks #BookSale #EbookDeals #Kobo

Coffee acquired. New book opened. Convincing myself this absolutely counts as writerly research. #BookCommunity #AmReading #AuthorLife #CoffeeAndBooks

This year gave me a story shaped by heat, isolation, and the outback’s watchful silence. Living inside a landscape like that changes how a story breathes. I’m carrying it with me now, deep in the writing of my second book. Some places stay with you. Others follow. #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

Writing, for me, is less mysterious creative ritual and more sit down, open the document, and hope past-me left good notes. Some days it works. Some days it’s just caffeine and good intentions. #Writing #WIP #WritingCommunity #AuthorLife

The ebook of The Crucifix is now on Kobo! 🖤 For readers who love their horror slow, unsettling, and impossible to shake. 📖 www.kobo.com/au/en/ebook/... #HorrorBooks #DarkFiction #AmReading #IndieAuthor #HorrorCommunity

Feels like one of those in-between chapters- not quite closing anything, not quite starting something new either. There’s something to be said for just sitting with it for a while. #NewChapters #Reflection #CreativeLife

Swapping gothic gloom for Laurie Gilmore’s The Christmas Tree Farm today. Zero hauntings or cursed objects…just pure Christmas cosiness. Sometimes you’ve got to trade the ghosts for a little holiday charm. 🎄✨ #AmReading #BookLovers #BookCommunity #Readers #FestiveReads #CozyReads #CurrentlyReading

Up ridiculously early this morning just to write in a quiet café before the city woke up. There’s something oddly therapeutic about working while the streets are still empty. Might need to make this a habit. #AmWriting #WIP #AuthorLife #HorrorWriter #HorrorReads #DarkFiction #HorrorCommunity

My book wasn’t written to shock- it was crafted to linger. If you love horror that’s slow, eerie, and haunting, this one’s for you. 🖤 Link in bio. #Horror #GothicHorror #IndieAuthor #BookPromo #HorrorCommunity #Readers #AmReading

Was in a tense part of my WIP this morning and actually had to put the pen down- I got so invested I scared myself a little. Definitely a good sign the story’s working. #Writing #WIP #HorrorWriter #WritersCommunity

Just wrapped up a deep writing session- the first real one I’ve had in a long while- and it felt incredible to sink back into my WIP and lose track of time. #Writing #WIP #WritingCommunity #HorrorWriter

Stopped by Harry Hartog again- honestly one of my favourite bookstores in the city. It’s compact, but somehow you end up wandering the aisles like you’ve stepped into a maze made of stories. I never leave empty-handed, and I don’t think I ever will. #Bookstores #BookLovers

I think the best horror doesn’t ask what’s in the dark- it asks why we keep walking towards it. That’s the kind of story that stays with me long after the lights are back on. #Horror #HorrorCommunity #BookSky #DarkFiction #GothicFiction #DarkReads

Finally saw Black Phone 2- and some of those scenes instantly reminded me of Sinister. And honestly, you have to love the cult classic horror vibe of a story set at a camp. The isolation, the nostalgia, the creeping dread- it’s horror comfort food. 🍿 #HorrorMovies #HorrorCommunity #FilmTalk

My gothic YA debut has found its way onto the Waterstones and Barnes & Noble sites. 🖤 Not on shelves (yet!), but still such a surreal little milestone to see it listed. #Booksky #GothicHorror

The season of shadows has passed, but the darkness doesn’t disappear that easily. 🖤 The Crucifix- a YA gothic horror story about secrets, whispers, and the things we keep hidden. Link’s in my bio if you’d like to take a look. #booksky #gothicfiction #yabooks #darkreads #spookyreads #horrorlit

Writing Tip: It's important to be able to tune out distractions, but that can be hard to do. Don't just rely on soundproof headphones or a quiet house. Train yourself to be aware of your surroundings, but focused enough to determine what's important and what's not. #writing #writingtips #Booksky
