Anthology Announcement: Cover Teaser & Acceptance

Peregrine Arc: An Author's Scratchwork

Bonjour–hopping in for a quick announcement. My short story, “The Letter”, has been accepted into Fae Corp’s “Darkness Screams” anthology. The anthology will be published later this Fall. The cover teasers are below.

Feel free to follow Fae Corps for upcoming anthology or other opportunities they may post. Fellow author, Andrew McDowell shared this opportunity with me. Andrew’s book, Mystical Greenwood, is being republished as a second edition through Fae Corps and is scheduled for release on August 26th (preorders available). The cover art is quite beautiful. If you’re into fantasy and love nature, I recommend putting this on your to-read list.

Thanks to Fae again for accepting my story, and congratulations to the other authors who were accepted. Happy writing everyone.

Update on GOTD: Maniacal laughter

Peregrine Arc: An Author's Scratchwork

Over Christmas break, I finished writing GOTD, my second horror novel. I am in the process now of tidying up the last third of it, smoothing out some wrinkles, and sweeping up some dust that escaped into the corners. But by and large, it is done. I hear the angels singing from on high…

If you know of any good agents/publishers looking for a spoopy tale, please drop me a message and let me know. I am going to try the traditional route this time. Prayers and encouragement are also appreciated for this bumbling human as she continues along this journey of writing and life. They will be returned in full.

Also, my thanks to Mr. Mike Nevins for reading drafts of GOTD and providing great feedback and also encouragement. He’s a writer as well and I encourage you to check out and follow his blog. It’s full of funny, and often insightful tales.

Cheers and happy writing to you all. May we all keep being encouragers to one another.

I will be taking August 2021 off from my blog and other media to focus on finishing my second novel, GOTD. I hope everyone is well and wish them happy writing.

Here is a great video, fellow author Michelle Schusterman posted recently for how she writes when she doesn’t want to write, or doesn’t quite feel up to the task. I highly recommend it and following her channel. Cheers.
