HAPPY HALLOWEEN! My favorite holiday/day of the year. But don’t worry, even once it’s over I’ll still be keeping things spooky around here.

Exciting writing things are happening, I am still waiting to hear back on full manuscript requests from Thrillerfest, but have since received more full requests (and rejections) for my Project SiTW – a psychological thriller with horror elements. Keeping my fingers crossed and sending out all the good vibes as I’m in the querying trenches. In the meantime, I’ve started actively drafting another psychological thriller project that I am so excited about, and slowly working on plotting out another horror project and psychological thriller.

This last month I also participated in “Write Now’s” Freaky Friday Flash Fiction Competition and my psychological thriller short story won it’s category! In honor of it winning, I will be including a snippet of my last year’s short story that won into one of my upcoming newsletters. Which, fun fact – was the short story that spawned the idea for Project SiTW.

For now, HAPPY HALLOWEEN! And here’s a look at the cover art for my short story, “The Search,” which won it’s category.

Ruby tried to get Melissa to stay home, but she wouldn’t listen. Now, the two friends are stuck in the woods searching for Ruby’s missing necklace while detectives hunt for a serial killer in the area. But dead bodies aren’t the only secrets buried in these woods, and one misstep could lead to disaster.
