After writing Obsession and Pact, I felt I had unfinished business with the 'fractured mind concept' and decided to explore the theme further. I also wanted this story to be darker and more brutal than my other stories… I am confident I have achieved this with RED. daniellornhorror.co.uk/gallery

Devilry in Godling Wood, fashioned as a medieval fable, is one of @coyhall.bsky.social's best works to date. The language is lush, painting the hamlet, castle, and surrounding woods in thin, serpent-skin shadow. If you love folk and medieval horror, don't sleep on this.

PLEASE check out the poetry of the highly-rated poets above.
It's undeniably more difficult to successfully promote new books today as algorithms/A.I. make successful promotion a constant moving target. The writing community has been significantly diminished as so many supportive writers move around to other sites and spend less time online because of chaotic world events flooding timelines/feeds, as well as the relentless scams, cons, bots, fake author accounts and phony promoters wasting our time.
It's SO important for the writing community to come together and support fellow authors by reading & reviewing their books, and/or reposting their publication announcements. 
The writing community is stronger when we stand together!
