She turned the page.
The wind whispered back.
The tower was still speaking, long after the last page.

POV: You're the golden prince who climbed the tower…
Thought it’d be romantic.
Turns out, she’s glowing. Possibly magic.
Definitely terrifying.
You screamed.

You might be a trapped maiden if…
🕯️ Your hair’s a ladder
🌘 You talk to wind
🖤 The tower whispers “Come”
…and you start to listen.

Look what I just got in the mail! Copies of my two short stories (on Amazon).
I’ve been drawing the cover of my first novel (coming soon) for like a week now. What do you think so far?

Pulling my hair out renaming my first book. It’s so hard when your book is like your child.
