Hunted in the Wolf Wood

A woman wearing armor and an eye patch shepherds a girl in a pink dress as they flee werewolves.

The plight of the last paladin in a heartbroken world.

A woman in armor flies on wings of fire

A blonde woman clutches the shoulder of a brunette woman holding a saber. They are facing down a werewolf.

I do dabble in horror, often rather lightly

The Discarded (in pinned anthology) is a short comedic horror about hellish creatures on the subway

A novella set in my 5GC world is a cozy horror about a woman facing her worst fears (also monsters)

I love paranormal. Horror elements find their way in.

The Bingo Killer is a fast-paced, action packed story that takes readers on an emotional, rollercoaster adventure. The Bingo Killer is a blend of the paranormal, horror and romance, with slight undertones of fantasy magic.

It was a good one to start out with. Now you know the format and what to expect. How to play the game. I hope you had good results. I've done probably 15 events this year alone and I've only got one like and it turned out to be a no. So I hussled my ass off and sent out almost 60 queries to

No you can't, unfortunately. Otherwise, I'd have a podcast and do it as Marvin Martian or Cartman from South Park..

William Blake's The Great Red Dragon @amandamblake.bsky.social · 16d

This is something that most people with some talent and skill in something learn, but it never stops hurting: I can learn how to sing, I can learn all the tricks and embellishments, I can do everything right, but that doesn't change the voice I've been given, and I can't do anything about that.

Me: You want to be a crime-fighting archeologist like Indiana Jones?
Talia: Wait, no, it's not like that at all...
Me: Are you an archeologist?
Talia: That's complicated...
Me: Do you have a criminal record?
Talia: Um... next question.
Me: How do you feel about cops?
Talia: 🤬
