Congratulations!!!

Inspired by FRANKENSTEIN, VEINS OF CALRIS is a dark fantasy novel with:

🩸A death cult
🧪Vengeful Artificer
🌱Plant magic and light body horror
❤️Love that persevered across death

#questpit #a #df

A woman's hand reaching out with plant vines coming from the stitches

Stained glass windows, a spider web, a woman veiled with hands clasped in front of her, an overgrown window, and flowers with a dagger over them

After her murder at the hands of a death cult, Ginevra wakes in an unnatural body built as a weapon and mistaken for the missing princess. As the cult hunts the soul they thought destroyed, she must claim her own identity—or be defined by the powers that remade her.

Just found out I will be giving our commencement speech in January! Two and a half years in the MFA program, one completed novel, and a thousand memories-I hope to do it justice ❤️

Man, I would just love to edit this

Went straight up my nose once. The feeling stays with you.

If you liked Hunger Games Erik you're gunna love NaNo Erik

I know there a strong views about prologues, but what about jumping straight into action? My view is mostly from a fantasy lens, but curious what thoughts would be.

Glad to have you, happy reading!

Half Sick of Shadows is a gothic where horror never comes from characters' identities. Modern audience shouldn't find diversity scary! Instead, horror comes from the wealth inequality, environmental issues, & medical field hurdles of the 19th cent that remain relevant today. #DVPit #H #A #DIS #LGBT

Thank you for such a fun day! I always love getting to see what everyone is working on and what I should keep my eyes out for 👀

That gif is perfect vibes!

Thank you!

I love the divide between family and culture

All I will say is there is a Morally gray artificer with a vow to keep ☠️

Her creator would be ecstatic to hear you say that 🖤

Love having bards in stories! ❤️ 💙

Those moments are my favorite 😍

I love this! Excited to see how it plays out for them 👀

Bone magic sounds so cool!

Death cult + blood magic and rituals 🩸

Thank you! There is so much for her to unpack!

Love a good poem and blood payment 😉

She does her best 🌱

This is gold 🤣

As a theater person who is now a single mom, I didn't know how much I needed a story like this. I want to read this so badly

I really appreciate that!

To destroy the death cult that killed her, Ginevra must first survive the body they’d see unmade. But when a woman from her past begins to recognize her, she learns that vengeance and love demand the same thing: truth.
