The mornings are dark and the snow has come. Winter is upon us. But that’s great for cozying up and reading and writing, right!?

My books will be part of the Smashwords End of Year sale! All of them will be available either very heavily discounted, or for ~free~. Get nice and cozy with A Sorceress and Scones or subject yourself to some emotional trauma with A Damsel and a Demon. The choice is yours!

You can access the sale (starting December 8th) here! 

Also just a reminder that I have a story featured in the latest issue of Indie Bites, which you can read for free here! I had way too much fun writing it, and would love for everyone to go read about Sophie in all of her disastrous, otamatone loving glory. The other stories in this issue are also very good!

After car troubles leave her stranded at the Hoddinott Hotel, Sophie meets Milo, an elderly man who has come to watch a former lover’s piano performance. As Sophie tries to prove herself to be the perfect wingman, the two bond over (questionably magical) drinks and tales of their past loves in a hotel that may be filled with more magic than anyone realizes. 

I have indeed started plotting the third book in the Of Mist and Magic series. My tentative goal is to have it all planned by the end of January. This felt pretty doable until I went and decided that I wanted to submit one short story a month in December, January, and February, two of which need to be planned and written. So…we’ll see how that goes!

So, according to my SpotifyWrapped, I have listened to the Clair Obscur soundtrack for longer than I have played the game.

This is not a concerning amount of Clair Obscur. Not at all.

I am a little disappointed that Un vie a t’aimer was not on my list of top songs, but this song is 11 minutes long. So, if you just go by the actual run time of the song, then I listened to it more than what my actual top song was. So. I mean.

(My actual top song was Her Song, by the Family Crest, apparently. Which is also very good.)

I promise I don’t always just take pictures of my dog while she’s sleeping. But it’s hard not to. ❤

Happy holidays!
