Hey everyone, sorry I've been AWOL since the beginning of the year. Between having a baby, moving, and major renovations, I had to step away from social media to focus on family. Going to be ramping up slow, but hoping I'll be able to get back to normal soon! #writingcommmunity

BADGERBLOOD: AWAKENING Elements of IMPOSSIBLE CREATURES mix with THE PRINCESS BRIDE in this multi-POV, medieval style YA Fantasy. #QuestPit #F #YA #P
Graphic with dark blue strip on top and larger light blue section everywhere else. White elegant words on top read "Badgerblood: Awakening." Words under that read "YA Medieval Fantasy; 91,000 words;  S.C. Monson; Self-Published." To the right of that is a red book cover with the title "Badgerblood: Awakening" and the author name "S.C. Monson" and a badger head profile carved into a white spiral pendant. A red spiral border separates these from the rest of the words on the graphic which read, "A reclusive outlaw, haunted by his forgotten past and hunted by a tyrant, evades false murder charges by hiding in a feral Timberland, but when a headstrong girl barrels into the forest, Kor's magic pendant draws him to her, driving him from his sanctuary to face secrets key to saving the kingdom and his own soul."Graphic with dark blue border and three sketches by S.C. Monson. Top left is a sketch of a bear-like borlan. Top right is a sketch of a badger. Bottom sketch is of a man being restrained. Dividing the top two pictures is the word reading down in all caps: "TORMENTED."

Sorry. Last, last #UnhingedPit post, promise. This is for a 2nd project, my WIP, Badgerblood 2. Princess Bride X Sword of Shannara X Don Quixote...? (Maybe. But without singing and hair. Maybe. Okay, MOST POVs w/hair. 🧔) #FingerDrawing #WIP #YA #F #OutlawMMC #AdventurousFMC
Finger drawing of a face that's gritting its teeth with eyes wide. Scribble lines around face indicate a harried condition. Spiral pendant with carving of a badger head profile hangs below the finger drawing. Black words below that read, "Kor must steal tyrant's hair or friends die. The catch? Tyrant is bald." Below that, red words read, "Badgerblood 2 WIP."
