Elora sheds the shackles of her parents’ piety and delves into a relationship with a local biker despite her imminent engagement to a vile man. The clock ticks as she tries to escape a lifetime of subjugation but unknowingly unravels her family’s dark secrets and plans.

The cover for my Southern Gothic novella PSYCHOPOMP & CIRCUMSTANCE is here! Predatory morticians, Gullah funeral traditions & a city where your family is defined by how they care for their dead.

A sepia-toned profile of a young Black woman against floral wallpaper, a gently smile on her face, reminiscent of 1850s ambrotype photography. She is wearing a high-necked collar, and her coily hair is upswept to reveal dangling skull earrings. A skeletal hand rests on her shoulder. An orange and sepia background with greige flowers. In the middle is the cover of PSYCHOPOMP & CIRCUMSTANCE: A sepia-tone profile of a young Black woman against floral wallpaper, a gentle smile on her face, reminiscent of 1850s ambrotype photography. She is wearing a high-necked collar, andher coily hair is upswept to reveal dangling skull earrings. A skeletal hand rests on her shoulder.

This piece references and is 100% inspired by this beautiful photo of (@missblaquevelvet on IG) and of course my love for all things retro. This leg pose really challenged me but I think I did alright in the end!

The SAVE Act will require voters to provide unnecessary documentation to vote.

This bill would make voting harder for people of color, women, and low-income people — groups of people who already face more difficulties at the polls.

An illustration of a Gothic style frame drawn in white linework. Inside the frame is the cover for the novel 'Holiest' by Sancta Seraphina. At the bottom of the frame is the text 'The Divine Tragedy - Book I' and around the frame are various descriptions of aspects of the novel and some of its tropes: ✨️The 'Book of Revelation' but sideways ✨️Mental illness & hallucinations ✨️Disabled characters ✨️Milton's cast in Dante's Hell ✨️Biblically accurate angels ✨️Gothic style Pandemonium built on top of a frozen lake ✨️Dead dove (metaphorically & literally) ✨️Torture used as a demonstration of love ✨️Biblical, Gothic & body horror ✨️Fallen angels (being gay) ✨️Catholic aesthetics (stained glass & guilt) ✨️Guard x Royalty dynamic ✨️Pale, sickly, pretty blond angel doing everything wrong (on purpose) ✨️Friendship betrayal ✨️Illustrations & maps by the author ✨️End-of-the-World Psychosis A collage of the author's artwork. At the top is the phrase "Here are your dead doves, eat up" in reference to the both Dead Dove warning/tag and to the violent, disturbing, questionably alive, and morally grey angels in The Divine Tragedy series (the titles of which are also listed: Holiest, The Harrowing, and Heresiarch). Below are six illustrations in white linework of angel (or angel-like) characters, from left to right: Asmodeus, Beelzebub, Lucifer, Jehoel, Metatron, and Abdiel.

Last month I spent a few hours updating my query folder in drive with the ‘first X pages.’ I queried a few agents the other day and hit ‘restore’ today on a new query. Y’all… I’m positive I uploaded outdated pages. Is it a sign to give querying a rest for a few weeks?

I was exhausted, but told myself to just write for fifteen minutes. Ended up writing for nearly an hour and finishing a chapter.

Sometimes you just have to give yourself fifteen minutes.
