Did you know that magick is real and there's scientific evidence to back it up? In SWEET WITCHTEEN, coming Halloween 2027 with @whimsillusion @phoenixmoirai , magick is real and can be passed through bloodlines. Here's why: Recent studies have hinted that an Intron variation, adjacent to the exon in the TNRC18 gene—specifically GA instead of GG—on chromosome 7 is linked to psychic ability.

Magick in Sweet Witchteen, coming Samhain 2027 with @whimsillusion @phoenixmoirai , is built upon true pagan and witchy lore. It asks, what if magick were real? Funny thing, it is! Scientists, to the chagrin of the institutions, have proven that magick is real. For example, precognition: Experiments proved precognition according to Daryl Bem and peer reviewed... youtu.be/vx-tUZc6iQc?si=vyR-… via @YouTube

This book has it all: slow-burn, yearning, humour, nostalgia. I loved the way the MCs connected & how their love story developed. The side characters were really fun too, but a special shout out to the best fictional kid I’ve read in a long time: Peter, the MMC’s 5yo son

Today is the release of my MG interactive Christmas story about an elf who drops Mrs.Claus' present and has to find a way to replace it. I wrote it for a coworker years ago after a boring shift unpacking early holiday stock, and it's one of my all time favourite memories. It has eight different endings, and is illustrated through out. Link in the comments. <3

#QuestPit #Q #A #H #Gothic The One Who Waits. Exploring an abandoned house, I found their pictures. I had to know her story. (The real-life actual origin of the story) In 1978, Tabby Collins and her two brothers disappeared. Forty-seven years later to the day, Tabby returns to her family's home in Destin, Kansas, still thirteen years old. Her brothers are still missing, her parents are dead, and her childhood friends are now middle-aged adults. (No AI was used)

#QuestPit #Q #A #HFIC #S The Third Sister Maria Nikolaevna is destined to be executed with her family at the age of 19. A miracle of time gives her the life and the love she might have had. Carson Wallace, a Russian History doctoral student from 2006 wakes up in a Siberian woods to find himself in 1918. The Third Sister a dual-POV time-slip love story, embracing the interruption of history in Kaliane Bradley's The Ministry of Time and the conceit of Kelley Armstrong's A Rip Through Time, if only the intruder in time had no way back.
