A little more horror analysis, this time focused on the symbol of water in horror.

Just shared a comparative study of irrational & intentional evil in horror storytelling over on my blog. If you write horror, this might be an interesting read for you!

As always, let me know your thoughts. I love discussing horror ^^

Just a reminder for my newsletter subscribers that you should have last month's newsletter in your inboxes! It includes:

The Checklisting Method for Eating Elephants

A short guide on the benefits of checklists for the schedule-averse like myself.

Works great when used alongside all of the previous resources, like Book in a Year, the Flashcarding Method, and Hindsight is 20/20.

If you're not on the newsletter yet, sign up to access this.

Murder in Heliopolis, v2, Chapter 1

Yep, the second draft of Murder in Heliopolis is chugging along, and to celebrate officially being back on the wagon with this book, I'm sharing the first chapter of the current second draft.

Read that over on the newsletter.

I hope you enjoy the goodies ^^

There's also a link to my website (wip) and most importantly, the page where beta readers/testers can sign up.

Woah, this is so cool! You're so creative and I love the goodies you're making for Runaways! Yes, please do go ahead and add me to the tag list!!

So I haven't posted any updates on Kofi recently but only because I've been working on something cool!

In my YA fantasy novel, Runaways, the main character Hannah has a special interest in identifying the plants and animals she finds by their scientific names. So I designed a STEM themed study guide that educates readers about some of the creatures that are named in the book by sharing their scientific and common names, photographs, their habitat range, and fun facts! It also includes activities you can do at home to get out in nature or get hands-on with crafts. It's somewhat aimed for younger readers (being a YA book) but it could also be used as a teaching tool if you're an educator, librarian, parent, etc.

There are 21 pages and 12 different species featured!

Here's a sample page of our favorite animal companion, Kit-Kat. Hannah befriends this least weasel early in her journey and he becomes a huge helper to her!

Each page features an excerpt from the book and there's even a fun code that's featured in the story:

If you want to get a copy, it's available (at a discount) to Ko-Fi members on the $3 tier along with other exclusive Runaways content, or you can get it on my shop as a digital download for $5.

I'll be talking about this more in the coming weeks but I wanted to let people get it early if they wanted!

Fixed up my website. Now includes embedded pages for my blog, my newsletter, and my Payhip. I also included an "Early Access" page, which is essentially a place for beta readers/playtesters and course evaluators to sign up.

Still want to do more with the home page, so it's a work in progress.

You’ve Entered the Terminal

The glass doors hiss open. Fluorescent lights flicker overhead. Somewhere, a loudspeaker calls for a passenger who doesn’t exist.

This August, the Writeblr Summerfest turns your dash into an airport of creativity. Stay tuned for:

Weird overheard conversations

Luggage packed with secrets

Gates that open into entirely new genres
