I'm so tired. I second guess every single thing I see (which is partially the point I suspect)... And trying to use Canva to make book graphics is a terrifying experience now.

Mar 7: It had been a weird night. And one of the best nights.
But now I had a curse to break. And that was completely going to suck. “So, let’s get on with it, shall we?”

Mar 8: No real phobias, but Stella is definitely squeamish around spiders now. IYKYK (book 1)

Mar 5: Getting caught, even when you're trying to save the world not everyone will understand.

Mar 6: I just got to introduce a cat and that's always fun! Even if he'll only be around for the one chapter :)

Oh my goodness, definitely not. I hope your recovery is as easy as possible.

Image is a book snippet. The background is white with a fountain of green mist flowing upward from center bottom, widening and going upward. At the top in a black scripty font reads #FridaySmooch. The snippet is in bold black serif font and reads: Before I could begin the spell, the malignant presence chuckled again and, with a burst of sulfurous energy, zipped past me and through the nearest wall. “Jerk!” I called out after it, coughing as the stench invaded my nose. Grumbling, I made my way to the kitchen and flung the back door open, then hurried to the front door and opened it, HOPEfully creating enough of a cross-draft to clear the house. I slumped on the porch swing, stewing in a mucky combination of anger, frustration, and fear. “Damn spirits. Can’t just move on, gotta annoy the living.” ©2026 Almost Like Magic, book 4

Mar 3: No rumors, but there are lies...mostly to keep others safe. And there's a whole secret group of people making sure the monsters don't get out of hand, so their lives are partial lies.

Mar 4: Stella 100% does not put any stock in luck or the Fates. is she right...?? 🤷‍♀️

This pictures right here is what inspired my total Dean-coded MMC for my series. I never get tired of seeing this picture :)

How I arrived on Bluesky:

I like that one! But I agree, it does feel very produced. I think my personal favorite is Ghost Hunters, followed by Expedition X (which isn't just ghosts, but it's still fun)

🌙 #FantasyIndiesMarch 🌙 March 2

Ooh, guilty pleasures aren't something I've thought about! I think Stella would find watching TV—especially those 'ghost hunter' type shows—a guilty pleasure since she know they really exist and how to deal with it. That and sneaking cookie dough ;)

The staggeringly fabulous cover for CE Murphy's upcoming BONE & BLOOD, a retelling of "Snow White, Rose Red" features two women standing back to back: one is garbed all in blood red, with dark red hair and a black mask; the other wears flowing white, with wheat-pale hair and a glittering mask. Cover art & design by Ravven.

A page of teaser text from BONE & BLOOD, reading: A hunched and twisted man stood before her, half her height, his neck bent at an angle to look up and meet her gaze with colorless eyes. From the look of him, he had been ancient before his own birth, and his clothes were older than that. Gold loops nestled in his long earlobes, and he wore a metal crown upon his balding head, battered, tarnished, bejeweled, like a joker's pretense at being king. Dread and determination shivered through her. She cast her gaze beyond the dwarf, searching for his footprints in the snow: there were none, as she had known there would not be. The moon blinked to a sliver and hung dim in the starless sky, until all the light in the world came from the dying fire behind her and the glow in the dwarf's pale eyes. "Will you not invite me in?" he said, and his voice was everything that his visage was not: sweet, deep, soothing, rich enough to sip from. There were rules: Adele knew that well enough. There were rules, when the forest offered up a thing from its deeps. There were rules of hospitality, of threats that came in threes, of youngest sons and kingdoms to be conquered. But those rules were for the woodcutters who were heroes, and not the widows they left behind. There were no stories for those like her, and the broken-toothed dwarf would barter what she could not afford. She was no fool; she understood the world that she lived in, and all of the costs for living in it. And so she did the only thing she could: opened the door wider, stepped aside, and spoke. "Please come in, Master Dwarf."

The problem with "Snow White, Rose Red" as a fairy tale is there's not much *there* there.

So I put some There in it. 👀

BONE & BLOOD, a retelling of "Snow White, Rose Red" is out on March 12! Preorder now! 🌹❤️ #booksky #romantasy #fantasy #FairyTales

"Why are you crying? It's just a kid's movie."

The movie:

Post a Jedi…wrong answers only:

Close up photo of the bare shoulder and part of an arm of a Caucasian woman. There's a band-aid where a vaccine was administered and she (well, me, so HI!) is holing a lollipop with a red wrapper over part of the band-aid. The background is a dark wood door.

Many thanks to the pharmacy student who not only delivered one of the most pain-free shots I've ever had (yay for shingles vaccines!), but also gave me a lollipop! Because even adults want to know they were brave... #vaccine

Me on Day 57 of 2026.

post a tree (or trees) you photographed

I love my witch hazel tree and how it blooms in the gray of early February, offering sunshine in both color and scent...and the promise of spring.

Feb 25: contemporary/urban fantasy for reading and writing

Feb 26: I don't know if I'd say nosy, but definitely extra curious... for a good reason. And that will come to play in a future book 😈

I don't have specific themes in mind when I write, but they often reveal themselves later...usually along the lines of learning to trust yourself, finding self-confidence, and discovering who your people are.

That blue is stunning

a man wearing a plaid shirt and a black shirt looks at the camera Alt: GIF of Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester from the TV show Supernatural. He's wearing a plaid shirt and a black shirt and behind him are flashing red and yellow behind him. It's a close up of his face and he's grimacing.

Stella is pretty self-aware, but often talks herself into denial (especially about romantic feels) or lets self-doubt take over. But she's aware that she's doing it, so that's progress, right?
