In honor of #Thursdayart, here’s a #beautiful rendition of #Lyra from my #gothic #fairytale #Stain. I love this one. The colors and portrayal of the melancholy mood are STUNNING. This piece was commissioned by @not_so__guilty_pleasures and crafted by @warickaart.

In some five years or so, when my husband retires, we’ll be making the move to our lakefront property. One of the things I’m most excited about is having enough land (2 acre lot) to create a #storygarden. 🌺🌻🌷🌼 My goal is to have a sanctuary of fragrant, vibrant flowers, sectioned according to the colors of my covers + stepping stones / statues that represent characters or themes from each #book I’ve written. ••• I’m just now starting to look for pieces, and recently bought this; the quote and glittery faces on this stone perfectly symbolize #STAIN, my #highfantasy #gothicfairytale inspired by #Princessandthepea, and the sun and moon prophecy that’s woven throughout the pages. ••• 🌞🌜 Thank you to Jane’s Gardens (janesgardenstones.com) for helping me begin my collection. If you’re planning a garden of your own or looking for symbolic or #inspirational stones for any reason, be sure to check out her website. There are so many beautiful ones available! 👒🧤 #gardeninggoals #gardening #Onceuponanightmare #aghowardbooks #beautifulbooks #inpirations #books #reading #yalit #bookstagram #instabooks #bookworm https://www.instagram.com/p/CYrmdFQrOU3/?utm_medium=tumblr

Once Upon a Nightmare It's the darkness All over again A nightmare That starts with the smiles And ends with her tears I don't know how it started I know How it ends It's the 6th night now And it's happened Over and over again Such a beautiful smile So sweet Small And soft Teeth only just growing But she loves to show them off I think she's my daughter And that I am her dad Because when she sees me She's never ever sad She's so beautiful About a foot tall Nor more, no less She care barely walk So stumbles a mess I always burst to tears In real life and the dream Because It starts as I'm holding her And ends with a scream She's so small and fragile I think I squeeze a little too much I've broken three ribs And crushed her small lungs I break down so fast Fall straight to my knees With her in my hands I watch myself freeze I know I shouldn't look But I can't turn away It's a nightmare that haunts me, so I can't Change the outcome Or stop myself from, By the time that I've realised She's already gone I don't know where It came from, or How it began But I always wake up crying Broken and wrong That little life I stole It took my heart and soul F.K. #OnceUponANightmare

Made a fake trailer....

Had way too much fun. Yup.

And another little snippet of Once Upon a Nightmare. This part and the ending is my favourite part to sing. Tell me what you think children! 🎤 #epica #onceuponanightmare (at Riverside, Toronto)

For #FanartFriday, I wanted to share this darling #chibi-style portrait of #PrincessLyra and #PrinceVesper (along with all their little fuzzy-eared, antennae-wielding, fire-brandishing, and 8-legged friends) from my #gothic #fantasy #fairytale, #Stain. . . Thanks so much to the lovely and talented artist, @agustina_zanelli, for sending this my way! <3 #fanart #theprincessandthepea #yalit #yafantasy #darkfairytale #ireadya #aestehtics #aghowardbooks #onceuponanightmare #Luce #Scorch #authorsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B9rmgD9gopf/?igshid=htct9hxcmfdq

🌟🌟🌟 Top of the #NewYear to you !🌟🌟🌟 I hope everyone is having a great 2020 so far! I am, and am extra excited today because #Stain’s #paperback has hit the shelves! * * * So if you’re needing a #prettybook to snuggle with during the chilly #January days and nights, be sure to pick this one up. 📚 As an added bonus, the paperback version of my #gothic #fairytale #fantasy hybrid includes #Morpheus’ prequel story, #AlicetheAbsent (not available for purchase in any other format). 🦋🎩 * * * I’ll drop in again later this month to share some information on the new #urban #YAfantasy I’m working on. Until then, happy reading to all! * * * #SplinteredSeries #AliceinWonderland #Wonderland #OnceUponANightmare #bookstagram #bookworm #yalit #retelling #theprincessandthepea #gothicprincess #aghowardbooks #Splintered https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Bii5gAt__/?igshid=1ey47qvcdukwl

Looking forward to handing out these signed #swag packs at my #booksigning(s) next week at #SDCC2019. Just like with #Splintered, bugs play a role in #Stain, so I chose some charms to represent them. Personally, I can't decide between the bee and the spider as my favorite. Either way, the detailed artistry proves even creepy-crawlers can be adorable (so long as they’re made of metal). 😋🕷🦋🐝🦗 * * * SIGNING SCEDULE: I'll be autographing in the Sails Pavilion ‪on Saturday (July 20th) from 2:30pm-3:30pm‬, then again ‪on Sunday (July 21st) from 1:45-2:45‬. Hope to see you there! * * * #readers #yallwest #authorsigning #litfic #bookevents #writerslife #writingtips #aghoward #books #stain #onceuponanightmare #darkfairytale #retelling #bookworm #fantasy #authorlife #authorsofinstagram #retelling #freestuff   https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz4AfvugL7h/?igshid=1uvcbvedcv4x9
