On the Wile, women earn power through bloodshed. Ripley's first kill should prove her worth among her sisters, until her sickle falters over a man who refuses to beg. Bound by dark magic and forbidden desire, they risk awakening a fate worse than death.

But if youβre a little bit mad, and youβre in love with the story that wonβt stop beating, then the query trenches arenβt so rough. Depends on whoβs holding your hand. Iβve got all my monsters, lovers, and a coven of query-trench besties beside me.

New substack. π€ "I toil to make it brilliant, but itβs only a reflection of me, a mirror of how my soul interprets the human heart in conflict with itself. Does that mean others will love it? No. Does my writing even love me? I fear it may be unrequited."

I was scared by my own book tonight. My husband (who I forgot existed for a minute) asked me something and I actually jumped. β οΈ This has to be some kind of milestone, right?! (Or a warning sign of some sort of query-induced mania, but we are going to stay positive, Ok?)
