I'm so excited that I wrote a fantasy book with the word "elevator" in it!! 😅 I feel bad for Chris, though--Cam gives him such a hard time throughout the book 😆 From TO DREAM A DARKER REALM, my dark 80's portal fantasy thriller with Stranger Things vibes 😁 #WIPSnips 💙🪐📚 #BookSky #WriteSky
“Are you going to explain any of this?” Chris said when they got in the elevator.


Cam darted a glance up at the elevator’s ceiling. Surveillance cameras. He resisted the urge to wave. And also the urge to answer Chris’s question. He had to be cool now, collected, not the same idiot who had picked a fight with Kenneth Lefler’s friends even though they had all deserved it. But he couldn’t resist fucking with the police, just a little.


“Well, Chris, it sounds to me like you had a psychic experience.”

Dust of the Dead by Michael R. Fletcher — SFF Insiders

After a few years of hard work, The Chosen One Con is out now on ebook with paperbacks to follow soon! Available on Kindle, Kobo, Itch and more to come. books2read.com/thechosenone... But of course, I couldn't publish this book without help, and I have a lot of people to thank! 👇
A promo image for The Chosen One Con, out now on Kindle, Kobo, and Itch. It shows the book cover to the Chosen One Con (a young white man in a trench coat holding a glowing blue potion bottle as though trying to steal it) and the following text: Magic spoke to me, whispering promises of fortune and fame. It spoke when I switched on the old MV and the screen came alive with the blue glow of magic, the faint spark and pop of aether flowing through the cables.

A frame of purple-tinted gothic architecture entwined with forget me notes and crow feathers surrounds a book mock-up with a dark fantasy cover. The cover features a crow swooping down on an Arctic lake and birch trees with wolves in the distance, almost like looking through a window in a frame of gothic architecture and swords
