YA Gothic! THE KEEPER OF THE KEY: www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQFG8XWZ

Circus horror novella! THE SHADOW DANCERS OF BRIXTON HILL: www.amazon.com/Shadow-Dance...

Or there's my Stoker-nominated historical cosmic horror TIDEPOOL: www.amazon.com/Tidepool-Nic...
Cover of THE KEEPER OF THE KEY by Cho-hyun Kim. Stylized image of a spooky mansion in purple surrounded by keys, skulls, scrollwork and a spooky eye at the top of the image, all in white on a black background with fine gray stripes running through it. The text reads: "NICOLE WILLSON/THE KEEPER OF THE KEY/HEED THE DEAD OR JOIN THEM" Cover of The Shadow Dancers of Brixton Hill. Looks like an old-timey circus poster in yellow and red, with three ballet dancers dancing in front of their shadows, with one extra very tall, very ominous shadow with long fingers stretching out next to them on the left. Cover reads "CEMETERY GATES MEDIA PRESENTS: THE SHADOW DANCERS OF BRIXTON HILL/FEATURING THE SENSATIONAL RINGMASTER NICOLE WILLSON". Cover by Luke Spooner/Carrion House Tidepool US cover by Shayne Leighton. Stylized iscrollwork in gold and white on a navy blue background surrounds a woman's black silhouette surrounded by tentacles and the words "TIDEPOOL/NICOLE WILLSON/A Novel" superimposed over her. Over her head is the text "IF YE GIVE NOT WILLINGLY..." and under her is the last half of that sentence: "THE LORDS WILL RISE." Between the woman and the bottom caption is a cover blurb reading "The creeping dread of Lovecraftian horror by way of American Horror Story - Tidepool will ensure you never look at the ocean the same way again! - Peter McLean, author of Priest of Bones"

I try to focus this account so it's for my readers, but hey writers:

NEVER sign a contract where the publisher keeps your rights indefinitely. For short stories, there should be a point when you can sell reprints.

and NEVER sign your movie/TV/etc adaptation rights to a publisher. Those are yours.

The penultimate Promptember prompt is "locked door." Have fun!

Same. I was fine with every other type of contact lens solution, but Opti-Free made my eyes turn red and water horribly.

Leo was mad at me because of Reasons, but had to come downstairs and sit near me with his back to me so I’d know he was mad. #caturday
