She thought of the last time she had seen her. The breathtaking symphony of pain they had created together. The brief silence fraught with intention before her work began. The rapturous instant when recognition sparked in those hazel eyes as they turned bright with fear. The rush of pleasure, spreading like pinpricks of fire as she helped Alexis remember.

Ever wondered the true depths of female rage? I did. I wrote 300-some pages about it.

That’s quite unforgettable.

Hands down you are 100% correct.

Tell me every terrible thing you ever did and let me love you anyway. - Edgar Allen Poe

In honor of spooky season, what's your favorite Poe quote? This one might be mine. #poetrysky #spookyseason #EdgarAllenPoe

I shall never tire of watching the sun sink and set the sky on fire. #beachlife

A field at sunrise with mist. Blue sky with a full moon and pinkish orange clouds.

Look at the moon just shining away up there with those cotton candy clouds. #bluesky #themoon #sunrise

When you’re reading your book going over your final edits and you’re at the end scenes and you forgot how good it is… #horrorsky #booksky #paranormal #paranormalthriller

You’re only given one little spark of madness. You mustn’t lose it. Quote by Robin Williams, 1951-2014

Or in my case, maybe three. ✨

Thank you!! ✨💫⭐️

Love. She had no idea how she was going to battle darkness with love. In all of the stories about good and evil and battles that she had ever read, no one ever won solely by wielding love. Now that she thought about it, if love was a theme in any of those stories it usually was the cause of conflict, not a battle tactic. Usually, victory came at the end of a sword or some other tool of violence, taken with brute force or by superior strategy. Fights weren’t won with love. They were won with sticks and stones, guns, and bombs, fought with skill, cunning, and bravery. But she had to admit, she had no idea how to fight an evil spirit and assumed all of those things would probably be useless. How was she supposed to overpower the equivalent of a demon with love of all things? Not a bible, not holy water, not an exorcism, but soft, sparkling, unconditional love.

One of my favorite excerpts from my debut novel, Transcendence. #paranormalthriller @rowanprosepub.bsky.social #booksky #authorsky

Am I writing? No. Am I sitting on my patio taking selfies? Yes. Do I regret it? Also, no. Happy Friday!

Sign that says “It’s August time to get out your fall decor” but the word Fall has been replaced with Halloween.

Fixed it. #Augtober

The words, “Creative people need time to sit around and do nothing,” on a white background

It might look like I’m not doing anything but inside my head, I’m creating. I’m dreaming. #daydreaming

A man smiling with the words people enjoying a book. Another man watches him with the words the writer waiting for them to get to that part.

The best part, of course. 😬

A black background with the number 22 and a chapter title of Dream a little dream of me. Followed by the words, The space behind her eyelids is a wretched scarlet. Viscous, wet, sticky. She’s aware she’s no longer dreaming. Not really.

Drafted Chapter 22 today and am a little (ok, a lot) in love with it.

I feel like a lot of my problems would be solved if I had a dragon.

Happy Friday the 13th! 💀

Thank you.

Black and white photo of a woman staring off camera

I wanted to hate this photo. That’s not my face. Surely, it’s my grandmother’s face I’m staring at. But I realized, this face, is my now. It’s my future. And I’ve earned every one of those lines. They’ve shaped me inside and out. And I adored my grandmother. In some ways, it’s nice to see her again.

A woman in a black dress with the words it’s almost time to put away my black spring clothes and bring out my black summer clothes.

It’s about that time.

This is a great debut novel by my friend and critique partner @jrblanes.bsky.social. Check it out! You won't be disappointed. Available for pre-order now!

Thank you!! 😊

😆

Agreed! There’s something about the turning of the pages and the smell of paper that digital can’t replace.

This I must see if I’m ever in NC.

He’ll look at you like that too.

Never thought I’d be grateful my septic backed up but maybe a stay here is just what I needed. When life gives you lemons…
