13 months out of #abuse 9 months out of #jail. 5 months into life as #convictedfelon. Somehow we found a way to celebrate the lives we were putting back together #writingcommunity #amquerying #domesticviolence #socialjustice #womensrights #sisterhood #survivor #trauma

#Incarceration changed me. I've written about the other women I met in there. Women who threatened me, protected me, fought me, & loved me. They taught me how resilient women are. The more that is taken from us, the fiercer we get. #writingcommunity #amquerying #socialjustice #femaleempowerment

“Can’t you ever do as you’re told?” Fala snaps.
“No.” The word rolls off my lips, sweet as candy.
“Impudent.”
“Arrogant,” I bite back.
We are toe-to-toe, nose-to-nose, her amber irises trembling.
“You know nothing.” Fala seethes. I laugh, drunk on her wild temper on I can ignite. That may have been true at the beginning of term but not now.
I know all about the woman I’ve spent the year ruefully falling in love with.

FINAL FANTASY XIII x PRIORY OF THE 🍊 TREE Four women are intertwined across a surface world rebuilding after 300 years and the sky empire responsible for its destruction when the result of centuries of unfathomable greed comes home to roost. Serializing August 7th! #QuestPit #F #A #W

A square graphic with a pale green background. It is titled "FROM UNDER A POISONED BOUGH: A sapphic epic eco-fantasy serial coming August 7th". Below, the image is split into two columns.

The left column from top to bottom is as follows: a dark brown rectangle with a circle image of an overhead shot of a forest and a circle image of a stone corridor; "A woman out of time. A soldier longing for home. A peasant fighting for her life. A savior entombed in stone."; a shot of the elbow and rib/waist of a suit of armor with yellow detailing.

The right column from top to bottom is as follows: a close-up of a tree stump in the woods with a whole mushroom colony growing from it; a suit of black armor beside a stone archway carrying an apple-sized object; a brown rectangle containing the story's color palette, which includes the same pale green as the background, a sage green, a stone grey, and a pale pink.

Mood board for GLAZED & CONFUSED, a 78,000-word adult romantic comedy. A warm, earthy collage features hands shaping clay on a pottery wheel, shelves filled with handmade pottery, a woman smiling while throwing clay, downtown Fort Wayne at sunset, a couple ice skating together, a curly-haired young man, a hand glazing a ceramic mug, and a couple embracing with clay-covered hands. Center text reads, “A Mood Board for GLAZED & CONFUSED.” The overall aesthetic evokes cozy creativity, second chances, playful romance, and small-town Midwest charm.

HE SAVED THE KINGDOM ONCE. MAYBE HE SHOULDN’T HAVE. Disgraced Grand Inquisitor Wynsten is hired to find a missing ambassador. Instead, he uncovers forbidden magic and a conspiracy rooted in the blood ritual that made him a legend and ruined his life. #QuestPit #Q #A #DF #MY

INQUISITOR FOR HIRE

ADULT DARK FANTASY NOIR · 93,000 WORDS · MULTI-POV · STANDALONE

Once Rysia’s feared Grand Inquisitor, Wynsten now catches adulterers to make rent. When he is hired to find a missing ambassador before an uneasy peace collapses, the case leads him through forbidden magic, vanished daughters, and a conspiracy tied to the royal blood ritual that made him a legend, ruined his life, and fused the empire’s worst secrets to his chest.

A MISSING AMBASSADOR.
A DISGRACED LEGEND.
A KINGDOM ROTTING FROM WITHIN.

OPENING LINES

“The heretics had nowhere left to run. Wynsten had made sure of that.

Months of blood and smoke had led him beneath the Sovereign’s castle, into the old mines carved through the bedrock. A stronghold under the heart of the kingdom.

These apostates would face justice here or burn.”

Twenty years before he became an investigator for hire, Wynsten stopped a ritual fueled by Rysia’s own royal blood.

A FANTASY INVESTIGATION WITH TEETH

THREE TOUCHSTONES. ONE DECAYING EMPIRE.

The Justice of Kings by Richard Swan - Institutional rot and compromised justice

The Tainted Cup - a secondary-world mystery engine

Chinatown - slow-burn corruption and a poisoned victory

INSIDE THE CASE

Fallen hero / disgraced legend

Secrets beneath the city

Corruption at the highest level
