A Snippet!!

Instead of an independent story today, I thought I'd share a snippet from draft 2 of "A Debt to Pay" (the WIP that's that far along). Sit back, and prepare to be plunged into some court intrigue and a bit of chaos! “Presenting,” called the herald, “Sir Jack Frost, and Her Most Royal Highness, the …

Quickie Announcement!

This week (tomorrow, actually!), I have a story releasing for one day only at Havok Magazine called "Until the Next"! It's a story for their "Gluttony/Temperance" theme: come expecting a dark and chilling twist of a story, set in Victorian London. I wrote this one, again, for the sister who refuses to be frightened. I …

The Writer Games: The Trials!!

As I promised to tell you about the Trials experience, I am back with a (belated) update to interest you while I work like a madwoman to get some things together during NaNoWriMo. (No, I don't know who won the Trials yet... Results are due this week, if rumors are to be believed.) The purpose …

Well, This Is Awkward…

Not only has this week been insane, but all the backup posts I had were for other categories. SO!Thank you for stopping by today— please enjoy this audio production of The Six Swans by yours truly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKk-FuPSrcs This week, I actually did manage to get quite a lot of editing done, and about 2000 words …

Leviathan: A Story

*click* Is this on? *tap-tap* May 10th. The mighty Leviathan, creature of myth and legend, is… hard to pin down.  Surprising, I know. Despite this, my research partner, Dr. Amelia Graffe, is determined to prove they exist. We’ve traveled the darkest shores of Africa, the Pacific Islands, and South America, only to discover that this …

And thanks for thinking of me, ladies! Sorry in advance...*evil laughter ensues here*Now, for the Rules: The Rules Thank …

First Anniversary Madness!!

As of this day, August 24, 2022, Rewrites With a Faerie Pen has been out in the world for a full year. 365 days around our sun, and I've enjoyed rather a lot of this trip so far. I've had to push myself on occasion, and I've learned that I can do more than I …

Princes Fall, a Kingdom Breaks, and Lies Arise

Today, I'm creating a bonus post on behalf of my fellow writers, The Sisters Three!! On September 9th, they'll be releasing the first in a series of books: Unfortunate Events, The Dragon Prince Chronicles book 1. I was invited to be on the team for a cover reveal! (As a fellow dragon-lover, I'm excited!!) But, …

New Work Afoot!

I've started a new first draft: a novel that's a riff on Beauty and the Beast with several twists that may (or may not) surprise readers. Firstly, this one is set in the rural Southern United States, around the Appalachian mountains, in the seventies/eighties (This could change, but there's the plan). Secondly, this one's built …

2022: The Year of Baked Goodness?

This year's been full of ups and downs in various ways: a few of the "ups" involve bakeries in my town. For example: a nice (semi-)local spot around here gained a new location that's much closer to my home than the original one, so I can trek on over and enjoy a quiet atmosphere and …

Book Review: The Cottage In The Woods + Giveaway Winner!

(By Katherine Coville) Today's book is one I stumbled across while visiting a slightly more distant library than I usually frequent. It was in the children's fiction; which, while clean enough to be a children's book, struck me as more of a YA novel; being a mixture of Goldilocks and the Three Bears and Jane …

Riddles In the Dark

You may or may not have read one of the great fantasy classics of our time; The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien. (Love how the publisher has declared it the greatest fantasy epic of our time. Not far from the truth, perhaps, but a little arrogant.) The edition I read first, a paperback from a small …

Enough Delays!

So! I've made you wait long enough for the giveaway; due to issues with the cover and format, the Casting Call Anthology hit a bit of a wall. But no longer do we delay! Feel free to enter and refer your friends if you think they'd like a signed copy of this delightful anthology. I …

Some Writing From My Family!

Recently, my siblings have shown some aptitude in writing; they're gaining interest and putting effort into it, which is really beginning to show! (I'm very proud of them, in an altogether-too-pleased-with-myself-big-sis sort of way.) Take some poems by my brother, for instance. (He rings of Jack Prelutzky to me). Eggs: A Poyem. Three dancing eggs …

Who Can Escape It? (A Story) + An Announcement!
