Happy with the progress on my short story. Got a cold, creeping atmosphere forming around it, and even though the snow outside my window is finally starting to thaw, the story itself is sinking straight into full‑on snowed‑in madness.

Drifter Luna finds stability as a concierge at the opulent Thornfield Hotel. But a romance with the pensive hotelier E. Rochester cools when staff vanish, and a guest falls from the penthouse. Now, accusations threaten to reduce her happily ever after to ashes. #QuestPit #Q #A #R #H #RF #T #DR #LF

Next year my little girl is turning 16 and I’ll be turning 40, so we got flowers. Carnations for me for January’s birth flower and roses for Artemis cause she likes to snack on the petals. 🥀

Luna’s rearview mirror reflects a shattered life, but Thornfield Hotel offers a fresh start. As concierge, she’s swept into a world of secrets, seduction, and vanishing staff. But the deeper she falls for hotelier E. Rochester, the closer danger creeps. #DVPit #A #Gothic #H #R #DIS #CI #MH #OWN

My first pitch is clearer on the plot, thought I throw this one out for fun to show a bit of the setting 🖤🖤🖤

My Darling Dreadful Thing X The Wicked Deep In a port town where sea air and superstition cling to every surface, empath Clover's dreams are visited by a figure from local lore. It offers relief from others’ emotions, but obsession soon follows. #DVPit #YA #H #DF #MR #DIS #CI #MH

CEOs in the afterlife? That’s bleak in the best way. The Good Place meets bureaucratic hell, I dig!

My Darling Dreadful Thing X The Wicked Deep When Clover's empathic abilities awaken, a ghostly presence visits her dreams, offering escape from others' emotions. But as kindness turns to obsession, Clover suspects they want to inhabit, not liberate. #DVPit #YA #H #DF #MR #DIS #CI #MH

Thank you and to be honest, I’m terrified of coloring and I have only just started adding color to my sketches. I don’t trust my skill, so this one’s pretty much done to me. Plus, Clover (Whitlock) has white hair so she’s nearly done anyway.

#DVParty Meet Clover. Some call her a witch, but she’s an empath who feels others’ emotions. She walks a town where sea and superstition cling to every surface and catches the eye of a restless spirit with a dark offer. Named for luck that never comes, each step pulls her deeper into the unknown.

A Figaro and Mozart update- from sickly little strays back in February to healthy (and huge) at 9 months old! They are now bigger than their 15-year-old sister, Artemis. #cats
