The past can be a complicated thing - and for Jaye Avenheart, her history is no exception. Because no matter how long one tries... one cannot simply outrun the past. Nightfall spans decades of Jaye's life, from fractured childhood to finding a career in the MMA cage. #PreDV #CON #A #YA #LGBT

Pagan story and Greek myth dance together in Guardian, a tale of Spirits, Nephilim, & Fate. The Keeper of Story is never supposed to defy the Fates. When presented with an impossible choice, Persephone finds herself doing just that – and suffering the consequences. #PreDV #F #A #YA #LGBT

Archive of Memory: Stories of two very different women. Ride through New York on Jaye's vintage motorcycle. Tread the path to overcome childhood trauma. Walk with Persephone through Spirit-haunted woods Hunters call home. Face the consequences of defying Fate. 52k words #PreDV #CON #F #A #YA #LGBT

#TueTeaser 3 "Stories do not really end. The telling of it does, but the story always lives on. Reborn in those who hear it, carried on in those who keep it in their hearts. It is the nature of such things. One door closes, another opens." -Excerpt from Persephone's journal Next stop: QUERY TRENCH

#TueTeaser 2! "I stand, crushing my cigarette and tossing it. Drawing my knife with my right hand as I turn, hiding it behind my open jacket. Hoping they decide to just stay where they are. Wishing, not for the first time, that I wasn’t so freakishly tall and conspicuously queer." - Nightfall Ch 1

#TueTeaser Archive of Memory is slowly becoming a properly formatted manuscript. Have some first lines :D #queerwriter #AmEditing #writingcommunity 🌈📚♠️ *more info in my pinned post

When you find the same damn six typos in a story that you know for certain you fixed weeks ago: *Poe voice* "Somehow, the Typos returned..." #amediting #queerwriter #writingcommunity

Age verification? 🎶Fighting evil by moonlight Winning love by daylight🎶

#TueTeaser A little preview for the vibes of This Better Not Become Something: An Ironically Titled Lesbian Race Story “Annevar, I can’t tell you not to keep going but could you at least not break the car while you are flirting with your girlfriend?”

#WriterCheckIn *Putting Archive of Memory through Beta Reading (and Reflections Saga too!) *Chipping away at two other stories: Carillon (another backstory, might end up part of AoM in the future) and fun lesbian racecar driver short *Scrambling to put together query letters before DVPIT Oct 8th

Lesson learned. Never give a story doc the placeholder title "This Better Not Become Something." (Because it will become something.) (An ironically titled lesbian racecar something.) #queerwriter #writingcommunity

Always fun to take out Halloween decor and discover that not only are there multiple cellar spiders in your closet, they also had... relations and had babies 💀 Happy Spooky Season everyone

#TueTeaser pt two .... when you watch the F1 movie and you get ideas >This Better Not Become Something< The ironically titled lesbian racing love story "I am more or less done with the racing world. Just done. So why am I here? I'm here... because she is." #queerwriter #queerbooks 🌈📚♠️

A young woman running from the trauma in her past. Another pulled from her life and forced into the servitude of the Fates. Introducing Archive of Memory. A short story Anthology. 📚asexual FMCs 📚complex relationships 📚mistakes made, consequences suffered #PosterPit #PosterPitW #C #LF #F #A #YA

Who would I pick to direct Nightfall? I have always admired Denis Villeneuve's work, especially Arrival and Blade Runner 2049. Also becoming a fan of Edward Berger (All Quiet on the Western Front and Conclave). Whether or not my story would interest them is another matter! #PosterPit

*slowly pulls out Nightfall playlist* #PosterPit

I can relate! It was like this with me and Jaye. It was only earlier this year - while writing Nightfall after creating stories with her for over 10 years - that I finally SAW her. All of her. Once I opened myself to her entire past, the good and the awful, I truly understood Jaye like never before.

For Nightfall: The moment Jaye finds her vintage 1969 Honda CB750 motorcycle. That Honda means the world to her. For Guardian: There is a scene in Part Two of this story that I would LOVE to see brought to life. It is a very intense, important moment. (Won't say more because *spoilers*) #PosterPit

Explain your story in a shitty way (one sentence). Ready. And. Go! To paraphrase a friend: The troubles of woman's past literally follow her to St John's & beats up her long lost sibling. (in ref to 1st Jaye story I wrote) & Woman convicted of 2 murders self-exiles in Montauk, becomes MMA star.

... Personally? I wouldn't. Let me be some random blink-and-miss-it cameo in the background somewhere :) It is not my place to overshadow the actors. #PosterPit

In Jaye's story... fight scenes. I will always struggle with those. Although, a martial-arts friend did tell me, and I quote: "I was wincing the whole way - I adored [Jaye's] transition across the scene from scared and threatened to absolutely filled with adrenaline and raging." #PosterPit

*cracks knuckles* The trailer for Nightfall #PosterPit

Handwriting a story is so much fun. I should do this more often. ... I say to myself as I complete 6 pages of Guardian in four hours and now have hand cramping as a result. Guardian - Archive of Memory: Persephone Ace Koera. Coming soon. (Once all these pages are typed up... and write more) 🌈📚♠️
