Storytime Blog Hop January 2026 - Game Over

 Hello, and welcome to my newest blog hop contribution! Thanks for reading if you do <3 ----- “Will the first two Puppeteers please step forward!” The games began quickly, with the first two Puppeteers stepping up to their gaming screens so they could better watch their Puppets. The two Puppets then stepped out into the center ring. First round would be knives, second round would be guns, and the last round would be specialized. Whether all three rounds would be needed was anyone’s guess. Allen wasn’t first. In fact, he would be one of the last to go. But that gave him a lot of time to get the lay of the land and figure out the best strategies for playing this game. Hours of gaming at home would come in handy here, he knew that. But it didn’t hurt having an edge in this specific game, especially when his life was on the line. He’d never lost. Four rounds later, and it was his turn. Allen took a deep breath from behind the mask and stepped up to his screen. He could see his...

✨️❗️NEW NOVEL EXCERPT❗️✨️

 Hi lovelies! I'm a day late, sorry about that! Here's the next novel excerpt from Dog Down!! CW: animals in danger . . . . . Indigo was about to say something about heading back when she heard scuffling coming from the top of the dumpster. All three animals seemed to hear it, as each of them jerked their head in that direction. The scuffling stopped then, for several long moments, and Indigo almost thought they’d all imagined it. But then there it was again, and Indigo took the initiative to tentatively step forward a few steps. “Hello?” she thought-voiced when she was close enough to the dumpster. “Gracias a dios!” a gruff voice came from the dumpster, followed by the appearance of the squarest dog head Indigo had ever seen, which caused her to jump back in surprise. “I thought you guys were those dead humans! Man, am I glad to see other animals,” the bulldog thought-voiced with a tilt of his head. “I’ve been in here for like three hours,” he huffed, looking down at the groun...

✨️❗️NEW WRITING EXCERPT❗️✨️

Hi lovelies! My apologies for not posting this last night, but here's a sneak peek of a flash fiction piece I'm writing! Enjoy 🥰 . . . . . Father Marcus screamed when the vision appeared before him, stumbling back over a few pews as he tried to clamor away from the creature that had appeared before him. “Be not afraid,” the many voices of the incomprehensible mass of energy spoke, and Father Marcus screamed again. That was ten years ago today. At that moment, Father Marcus was half-heartedly listening to some trivial confessions as the seconds ticked by in slow motion. He’d heard a million apologies about broken promises, disobeying direct orders from parents and authority, taking the Lord’s name in vain, it went on and on. The confession about leaving a shit in the toilet at the mall almost made him keel over, but he’d managed to hold it together. When the regular parishioners were gone, Father Marcus sighed, then locked the big doors leading into the holy sanctum of St. Anth...

Excerpt from FALLON

Hi everyone! It's been awhile since I posted, let alone posted an excerpt from my fantasy novel Fallon , but I figured it was time once more! This novel has undergone quite a few changes in the last few months. I've reworked quite a few chapters, have added new subplots, have taken away others. The excerpt below is the reworked beginning of chapter 1, so if you've been a beta reader for me before, or have been following along, you'll notice some immediate differences. In any case, read below for the excerpt, and let me know what you think! . . . . . For all intents and purposes, today was a bad day. Fallon had spent most of the morning packing for his unwanted trip to Waxam, and when no one was looking, had snuck away to the kitchen to grab some cheese and bread, the armory to grab his bow, some arrows, and armor, and then the stables to pick a horse. Fallon fully intended to be gone for the rest of the day, maybe two if he was lucky, before his life was essentially ove...

Storytime Blog Hop October 2025 - Black Dog

 Hello, and welcome to my fourth blog hop contribution! Thanks for reading if you do <3 ----- Oscar’s life was categorized by his million-dollar home, his fast car, and his beautiful wife and children. Doors flung themselves open to him, revealing lucrative opportunities, and Oscar quickly climbed the ranks. But when Oscar’s boss was caught embezzling millions, the company went bankrupt, and Oscar was left behind. In a matter of months, everything was gone. Oscar was left in a small, grungy apartment on the edge of town, with no job, no money, and no future. When Oscar walked into the woods that day, he didn’t intend to come out. He’d brought the rope, now to find sturdy tree. Instead, Oscar found a black dog, one who looked eerily like his childhood companion, sitting under the sturdiest tree. Before he could say anything, the dog was facing him, eyes piercing red. Oscar was suddenly scared. The dog stared at him for a moment before it growled, lips peeled back in a m...

Excerpt from THE TOWER

 Hi folks! I'll be submitting a short story I have named The Tower to my writing group's Halloween anthology very soon! It is a paranormal fantasy novella at ~10k words. While I get the story ready for publication in October, I wanted to share an excerpt from the story to see what you all think! Let me know in the comments of wherever you're reading this <3 CW: talk of demons, talk of angels, ghosts, the supernatural, paranormal phenomena, the occult . . . . . The next morning, I woke up knowing I needed answers. I immediately hoisted my laptop from my desk next to the bed to my lap and started reading over that article about repeated tarot cards again. Most of the information was garbage, just blurbs about deeper meanings, shadow work, and higher beings sending messages. But it was that last part that caught my attention. I clicked on the post, which apparently had been buried pretty close to the bottom of the page, and read on. According to author XoXoGhostie , repeat...

Storytime Blog Hop July 2025 - Contract

  Hello, and welcome to my third blog hop contribution! Thanks for reading if you do <3 ----- “Remember, twenty years. Twenty years, and I come and collect my dues.” With that, the crossroads demon was gone, leaving Diana alone on the dusty, country road she’d stumbled onto. It seemed so much like a dream that she ended up writing the whole thing off.   Twenty years later, Diana Rothbert was a household name. Her image flew on banners, was stuck to the sides of buildings, was featured across commercials on skincare to military spending. She was on her way to the presidency. But when the demon showed up, Diana wanted to buy herself more time. “What if…what if I could promise you something?” she asked. The demon was intrigued. “What could you possibly promise me?” Diana thought hard. “Let me win the presidency. I can promise you as many souls as you’d ever want.” The demon laughed. “With your platform?” Diana winced. Despite her deal with the devil, her platform...
