Happy Halloween! I think of you as a member of my big, bold, extended writing group, and when I planned my 2025 goals, I promised to share my monthly progress with you. This month felt magical!
SPOOKY STORIES FOR YOU
Click for free short stories! To celebrate Halloween, I've launched a new page seeded with a couple of darker stories that explore the weird and supernatural. I love psychological tension, otherworldly elements, and twists--and I hope you find these stories deliver:
The Dress - You'll get a taste of New York City in 1851 in this revenge story with a dash of magic. (If you subscribe to this site, you already received your advance copy!)
Bean Magic - Enjoy a new take on Jack and the Beanstalk in this fantasy retelling of the classic fairy tale.
Haunt the comments button and let me know if you enjoy them!
HOW OCTOBER WENT
My gothic mystery (with a little horror and romance) progressed well! You may have seen my post about feedback earlier this month. Thank you, beta readers!
WHAT'S NEXT
I'm doing Novel November via ProWritingAid to move my gothic to the next stage. If you're writing, too, join up and say hello! And next month, I'll add to the Darker Stories page with a tale that fits the winter holidays. So, sign up for updates if you like my spooky stories and want to stay on top of developments. And don't forget to like, share and comment!
