My Top 5 Horror Movies: 1. Write a book about fae w/ bat wings during Twilight peak but life gets in the way 2. Someone else writes a book about fae w/ bat wings 3. Their book changes the genre (could've been you!) 4 Publishing your story & being accused of stealing 5. Everyone hating your book

Really missing my cat today which then starts making me cry over my duckies and my horse I lost last year too 😢

Grief is like glitter?
No, grief is a tidal wave that never lets you breathe
It fills your lungs and mouth until all thats left is air too bitter
And when you can get your head above the waves
A glimpse that everything will be okay
It comes crashing down once more in attempts to drag you down
Keep your head high
Some days you'll be under water

Added some flat color to my design of Xander Helms from my book, Evenfall

Digital drawing of a dude that looks like Rami Malek bc it is Rami Malek that is who I fancasted years ago but now he is too old sadly but whatever. Anyways, he has dark skin and blue eyes wearing a blue shirt with wavy brown hair and scribbles all over his arms because I'm lazy and haven't made tattoos yet

Will update the blurb after my editor looks at it but here is a cover and back mock up so far for Evenfall!

Cover of Evenfall by F.F. Ayte
Evenfall is at top with a black to blue gradient
The cover is a pale yellow with a design of a crystal wrapped in vines and orange smoke is wrapped around it

Back of book

Same pale yellow with a cartoon river flowing through the top to bottom at an angle.

Says "Where nothing seems as it appears and everything appears as it seems" at the top

"Lena Petrakis is a pragmatic psychology student who prefers facts to fairytales. But when a chance encounter at a seemingly normal party, Lena’s world is forever changed when meeting the enigmatic Xander Helms--who is wanted for the murder of his prince. Pursued by mysterious strangers wielding ancient weapons, Lena is thrust into a world where fantasy isn’t so far from the truth and truth is more fantasy than real. As Lena is taken deeper into what was once myth, she must confront her own beliefs about fate, love, and the power of choice where survival may demand the ultimate sacrifice.

Evenfall is a powerful contemporary fantasy of found family, forbidden love, and the courage to write your own story even when the world is fighting against you."

Do NOT -- I repeat -- DO NOT dumb down your writing because of AI. Absolutely insane people are accusing writers of using *checks notes* em-dashes and smilies (????) Just because YOU can't write well without AI doesn't mean that others can't write well without it too!

Starting one of the heaviest stories I've ever written dedicated to my senior dog & anyone who has lost a pet. Does the Dog Die? follows the life of a 15 year old pitbull mix named Daisy who was born as a stray that touches the lives of everyone around her. Here's the 1st page draft for a preview:

Chapter One

Low thrumming of the melody composed by cicadas in the bushes and trees outside the quaint house served as background music, setting the lazy summer into the air. It was Daisy’s favorite time of the year because it meant her girls’ were home a lot more and the family would go to the lake almost every day. There would be no lake today as Millie and Penny were sprawled on the old gray sofa with their limbs hung about in every which way, dressed almost all the way down to their fur-less arms and legs to keep the heat at bay.
Smacking her lips together, Daisy stretched out long until her paws touched Millie. The young girl’s bright brown eyes glittered in the sunlight as she smiled and placed one hand over her head, the soft velvety touch of her fingers rubbing the inside of ear. Closing her eyes, Daisy groaned in harmony hoping she would never stop. She LOVED ear rubs almost as much as she loved her family.
Fumbling with one ear, Millie paused to look at the TV. “Oh!” She squealed, pointing at the distorted screen, flickering yellow and green lights. “This is the movie I wanted to see last year.”
Pulling down the corners of her lips, Penny scrunched her small, dry nose until her top lip almost touched. “Does the dog die?”
“We can look it up,” suggested Millie.
As the two girls talked amongst themselves, Daisy’s eyelids grew heavy. Blinking a couple of times, her world went dark until the voices around her a distant buzz. Nothing made her feel safer than being with her family but they weren’t always her family. No, they had only been in her life for a few years now, and while they were the greatest years of her life, she often felt herself wander into the past.

Just write the damn thing. Here's the thing, someone will always be willing to read about vampires (me) just like someone will always be willing to read another book about fae. I hope to encourage someone else not to give up even if it feels like your story has been told before. It hasn't.

Literally begging writers to stop using so many pop culture and name drop references 🙏

Thank you to everyone who is supporting me on my writing journey. I used to run a lot of writing/reading blogs years ago but depression burnt me out & I stopped writing for a long time. My editor & my friends gave me the courage to pick it back up again last year so here I am.
