Excited to dive into this fantasy romance YA series by Adalyn Grace as the covers are gorgeous and having a character as Death is always so intriguing to me!

Have you ever lost someone and then “see” them where they used to be? A house? A garden? An empty chair at the table?

That's today's poem GHOSTS

Today's poem is about the post, the mail, and how in our world of instant messages there are people who carry our letters by hand and walk by foot.

THE SHADOW KING

FOURTH WING x ONE DARK WINDOW

The girl with shadow wounds that won't heal, the immortal shadow king who wishes for death, a love neither of them could have imagined - all ripped to shreds if they can't unearth a lost tomb and kill the darkness inside.

ONE DARK WINDOW x FROM BLOOD & ASH

Once a Shadow Demon cuts you, the clock is ticking, not in months, but minutes before you turn into a shadow too.

Sahira must kill the Shadow King to live.

But will her bleeding heart forgive her?

Latest poem on my Substack features the buzzing (loud) insects that I've already heard this summer!

I love the sound of cicadas as they signal summer to me.

I love reading. Want to know why?

We get to experience battles against good and evil, the thrills of a first love, and the joy/sorrow when a journey has reached an end.

The Shadow and Bone Series did that for me (especially the last book!) I read all three in five days!

I've sat on this poem for a while.

I wrote The Shape of a Woman when the #idchoosethebear question stormed the internet.

I still think it's relevant.

How To Solve Your Own Murder by @kristenperrin.bsky.social was a recent #summerread of mine!

I gravitated toward this killer premise, was intrigued by the diary entries, and flipped pages to uncover who the murder(ers?) would be.

Have you read it?!

Made bread today! Ugh my kitchen smells amazing and I just wanna eat it but I can’t until it cools!

Today’s poem To-Do was written years ago and makes me melancholy as both my fur babies pictured (Blu and William) have crossed the rainbow bridge. I’m grateful for the time I had with them, and glad I could recognize it then too.

So excited to see Pirate Queen of the Red Flag Fleet advance in the @Pageawards as a Quarterfinalist!

They take the Top 10% of all submissions so I am beyond thankful this script made it into the 994 chosen Quarterfinalists!

My current read:

Grimm’s Complete Fairy Tales

I’m glad to finally get to these collected fairy tale & folklore stories as I’ve been meaning to for quite some time! What a dark surprise I was in for with these twisty tales full of mischief, revenge, and wildly magical moments!
