✨ New Story Reveal: The Door in the Dandelions ✨

Hello, dear tea drinkers and tale lovers!

I’m thrilled to share a sneak peek into my newest fantasy project — a story that’s been quietly unfolding in my notebooks and finally wants to leap onto the page.

At its heart: This is a tale about a secret society of Fae living among us — hidden in plain sight, their magic woven into the cracks of our everyday world. And at the center of it all is a girl named Elara, who stumbles (or perhaps is led) into their world after a strange encounter in the woods. But Elara’s connection to the Fae may go deeper than chance — and she’s about to discover that some doors open for a reason.

Expect shimmering magic, ancient rivalries, shadowy bargains, and a heroine who’s about to find out what she’s really made of.

Over the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing: 🍃 Early chapters and exclusive scenes 🍃 Character art and moodboards 🍃 Behind-the-scenes peeks at worldbuilding and Fae lore 🍃 My messy notes and inspirations

Thank you for being here at Tales and Teacups — your support means the world, and I can’t wait to bring you along on this adventure. 💛

Stay tuned, and keep an eye on the shadows… sometimes they’re watching back. 😉

An Introduction to The Project

The “Remember Rock" Project

A Reminder of What Once Inspired an Active, Wandering Mind

My mind’s been plagued lately by the thought of re-visiting my past with the hope that I’ll re-discover parts of myself that I’ve long forgotten. But perhaps this isn’t a plague? Maybe it’s exactly what I need.

As someone who started reading at 3-years-old, creative writing was always a favorite subject of mine in school. After finishing journalism school and releasing my debut EP of original songs, I need to start writing prose again. I feel foolish for neglecting something that used to bring me such joy upon the completion of a piece but it was lost somewhere along my path toward pushing forward with my music and letting go of journalistic habits from college.

The universe is a vast place and I don’t pretend to understand its intricacies but I do believe in little signs if only because it helps me feel a little less alone when I’m walking around by myself or holed up in my house. But, after days of rattling my brain for what my new writing project should be, a little sign came my way while I was standing in the check-out line of a 7-Eleven.

I had already handed over my debit card when I looked down to see a bowl full of those inspirational word rocks that they sell to folks to use as paperweights. I pushed a few of the stones aside to uncover as many “inspirational words” as possible before the cashier rang me up… and that’s when I found my sign… which leads me to the following, brief story for flashback purposes…

When I was in the fifth or sixth grade, I wasn’t writing down all of my homework assignments for whatever reason so I’d always end up unintentionally forgetting something that needed to be done. My teachers knew I was good kid who meant well though, so my homeroom teacher and parents came up with a suggestion. I was given one of those “inspirational word” rocks with the word “REMEMBER” on it.

Back to present day…. I found a “REMEMBER” rock at the 7-Eleven, so that will be the basis of this project.

I’m not writing for an audience this time so I look forward to seeing where it goes.
