"They used to call him a sin eater, and Dragomir supposed that was true enough."

Opening line of my debut novel, The Burning of Saint-Gilles 🖤

"Fitz turned to look at him. Lightning tore through Dragomir’s chest as they locked eyes."

The Burning of Saint-Gilles isn’t just a medieval vampire fantasy, it’s full of moments that make your heart race. If you crave sensual vampires this is the story for you ❤️🖤

Sharp pain shot up my back and that’s when I realized I was still on fire. I shed my owlbear form, hoping it would douse the flames. I enjoyed a brief moment of relief before the flames re-ignited, spreading over my fur armor. The smell of cooking meat reached my nose as my skin began to burn. I smacked at the flames, feeling myself becoming hysterical as terror took hold. “Pluo!” a voice commanded from behind me. I was inundated by a shower of cold water, shocking my body so much that my heart seized momentarily. I gasped involuntarily, sucking in droplets of water. I gagged and dropped to my knees, hacking up bile between each ragged breath. The water ran painfully over my burns, the flames sizzling as they finally petered out and died. My heart pounded erratically as darkness began to seep into the corners of my vision. Gale appeared in front of me, grabbing me by the shoulders. “Fiodhan, my gods!” I blinked at him through the water dripping from my hair. I focused on him, centering myself as I worked to catch my breath, each one a bit easier than the last. “Where do we go?” A hazy shadow appeared behind Gale, waving their arms in front of themselves, trying uselessly to dispel the smoke. More blurry shapes wavered behind them. “We have to jump,” I wheezed, nodding at the broken floor. Gale followed my gaze, then grabbed my shoulders and hauled me over the side. I yelped and flung my hands out to grab something, but it was too late. We landed heavily on top of a table, falling a second time as the brittle wood collapsed under our weight. “By the hells, Gale,” I groaned, rolling off the wreckage of the table. I stumbled to my feet, unsteady and nearly delirious from exhaustion.

Galetober prompt: FIRE 🔥

Fire’s kind of a recurring theme in the early chapters of my Galemancer fic, so this one was both fun and brutal to choose.

Here’s a snippet from Waukeen’s Rest — Fiodhan charging straight into the flames to save others, and Gale being the one to pull him back together.

If you know, you know. If you don’t—fix that immediately. Blood, sex, tragedy, humor, heartbreak. The cast is insane, the writing divine. This isn’t TV; it’s transcendence with fangs.

Three episodes, three moods: Gothic horror, sea-bound nightmare, and a bold 21st-century twist. Claes Bang is all bite and smirk, the sets are lush, and the writing? Deliciously wicked. A feast for Dracula purists and rebels alike.

The daddy of all Draculas. Suave, cheeky, and terrifyingly magnetic. He seduces with a look, kills with a grin, and reminds us why some monsters deserve fan clubs.

The OG vamp still slays. Dwight Frye steals the show as Renfield, and the whole thing oozes eerie charm. Don’t fear the black and white—this film aged like fine (red) wine and basically saved Universal Studios.

Favorite Dracula Movie: 1931 Dracula—THE OG 🧛‍♂️

Workin on it! 100 agent submissions in so far (28 rejections). It's a long book (197k) so I think it's putting off a lot of agents who might otherwise be into the concept. But I grew up on epics like Goodkind - I wrote what I know best!

Hopefully I land an agent - if not selfpub 2026!

Gale’s eyes met mine for a fleeting second. Surely by no coincidence, the tent began to feel a bit too warm.

“I need some fresh air.” I flapped open the tunic and pulled it over my head, wincing as I slid my burned arms through the sleeves.

The dragon scanned the room, its eyes narrowing as it spotted the alien cowering on the ground across from me. I could feel the dragon’s malice seeping into the room like a poisonous cloud. Its nostrils flared, then the dragon opened its mouth. Two rows of colossal teeth glinted in the glare from the sunlight. For a second time this morning, the only thing I could do was accept the coming of death. I closed my eyes and tried my best to picture something peaceful, like a glade or a river—but all I could see was blinding light as the dragon engulfed the room in flames. Deep in the back of my mind, I held onto a glimmer of hope that the capsule would hold, but the sound of cracking glass didn’t give me a lot of confidence.

Nettie released Gale and looked at him skeptically. “You seem healthy enough. A bit tired ‘round the eyes, maybe.” Astarion snorted. Gale smiled self-consciously. “Ah, well. There’s no good way of putting this. We… eh… we have tadpoles in our heads.” “Tadpoles?” Nettie looked blankly at Gale, then her eyebrows shot up. “Mind flayer tadpoles!?” Astarion leaned forward, annoyed. “Well, what other kinds are there? It’s not like frogs hopped into our eyes.” Nettie regarded us warily. “That’s… a serious condition.” “No shit,” Astarion muttered under his breath, forcing me to suppress a laugh.

We're starting to unravel after a long day of aliens and dragons. Poor Nettie, just trying to help 🫠
