Remember that post I did about my book deal for The Legacy of Poe duology?
Well that’s not all.
Roan and Weatherford also acquired my standalone horror novel titled The Curse of Waverly Hills!!
Yes, they acquired not one, not two, but THREE BOOKS! Someone pinch me, I must be dreaming!!

Would you be interested in an Egyptian historical fantasy? Heavy on Egyptian folklore & romance & comped to WHAT THE RIVER KNOWS & THE MUMMY!

Happy WEDNESDAY to those who celebrate. If you’re like me & can’t get enough of Wednesday Addams, I have your next favorite gothic girlie, Annalise Poe!
Annalise & Wednesday would really be, dare I say, the deadliest of friends. 🖤💀

@netflix THE LEGACY OF POE could be your next genius adaptation! 👀

Probably needed a hug…
Wrote an Edgar Allan Poe retelling where his daughter was left to care for a manor full of ghosts only to fall in love with her childhood friend as they fight against a ravenous entity, instead.

Happy Pride, friends!! 🏳️‍🌈
Representation is SO important to me, especially for my YA books. As a reader myself, some of my all-time favorite books included rep that helped me feel SEEN. I hope my books can do that for someone someday too! 🥹🫶🏻

Thank you!!

Demri Redmon @demri18.bsky.social · May 29

My next project…
I will be doing a total rewrite of my first adult novel titled, THE WITCH OF GATLINBURG. Inspired by the legends & lore of The Great Smoky Mountains where I currently reside.

A story about sisterhood & the dangers & benefits of power.

✨He Falls First & Harder
✨Passionate, All-Consuming Love
✨One Bed
✨In a crowded room, they only see each other
✨All the angst!
✨If MMC couldn’t walk to FMC, he’d crawl
