NEW STORY ALERT!
          
          Italy, 1381 
          The country is torn by the war between Venice and Genoa. After surviving a harrowing battle at sea, the ship's medic, Adriano, and some of his fellow shipmates find a momentary refuge on an abandoned island in the Venetian lagoon. At last, they believe, the worst is behind them. 
          But some shores are not meant to be reached. 
          
          Something begins to hunt them - something the sea didn't keep, and the land doesn't want. A creature feared like a curse by all sailors, serving only Death. One by one, the men are dragged into the dark and slaughtered.
          
          On an island forsaken by God and men alike, the past demands its due, leaving no one unscarred. As fear fractures the survivors and silence becomes impossible, Adriano is forced to choose between survival and a truth long kept hidden, forbidden by law, faith, and fear.
          
          SIRENETTA is a historic horror retelling of The Little Mermaid, in which four survivors of a shipwreck strand on a plague-haunted island, where something monstrous hunts the living faster than the disease ever could.

Hello, my lovelies!
          How is everyone doing? Ploughing through January and hoping for warmer weather? 
          
          ONE DAY OUT THERE has a brand new cover and has also been edited. Do check it out if you have a moment. I'm curious to learn what you think :-)
          
          Also, a reminder to fill in the form for my Friendly Friday feature on Instagram if you want a little free promo. It's all in my profile :-)

NEW STORY ALERT!
          
          My short steampunk horror/mystery retelling SECRETS OF NOTRE DAME is back!
          
          Captain Phoebus de Chateaupers returns home after years of war to find Paris in a state of fear, with the girl he was supposed to marry horribly slain. By order of the highest official and driven by a vow of vengeance, he sets out to dispose of the demon prowling the city at night.
          But as the decorated Captain and his loyal cyborg-squire venture into the ever-growing mystery, the creatures known only from legend and the facade of Notre Dame awaken. The line between monster and man blurs as there is more to this demon than Phoebus was led to believe. The true terror haunting Paris may just be closer to home.

Hello, my lovelies!
          
          I'm sharing the submission form to my Friendly Friday feature on IG. This started as a way to hype up my fellow Wattpad writers, and now I'm branching out to include authors on all platforms. Still, continuing here as well.
          
          So, if you're (self)publishing your newest story - either online or irl - or if you're a new author, or if you just like some love from me and my followers (and potential new readers), just fill in the following Google form with the requested information. I do require you to have Discord or Instagram for easy communication. It may take a while for me to get back to you, since there are only 52 weeks in a year and the feature has proven popular (cue the song from Wicked), but rest assured you will hear from me in due time. Just remember to accept my friend invite when I reach out. 
          
          You can submit any story of your choosing, but only one at a time. In case you've been featured by me before, please note any new feature you would like will only take place 18 months after the original feature at the earliest.
          You don't need socials yourself to be featured, I can share a picture of the post when it goes online with you through Discord then.
          
          I also want to make it clear I don't ask anything in return. No payment or reading required for this little promo. I may be a villain at heart, but I can be nice when I want to be.
          
          Share this post as well with other! The more people submit, the better!

2025 wrapped up nicely, and I'm ready for 2026. 
          
          I'm going on a writing retreat in March to work on the second anthology of Worlds Beyond, based on the album Rhapsody of Life.
          
          I've decided to make DAUGHTER OF HEAVEN, my SPN fic, into a two-part series. Part one is close to finishing and will be edited as well. Stay tuned for more news on the sequel. 
          Hopefully, I can also finish ANGEL OF MERCY, my DeathNote fic, this year. I'm about halfway through, so fingers crossed.
          
          I have a new fanfic in the works, namely a Hellaverse fic called SAVE ME TOO. Yes, I'm obsessed with Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel - don't care, deal with it.
          If any of the cast and Viv are coming over to Europe - and provided dates and funds work - I might try to see them at a con.
          
          And I've decided to bring back my steampunk horror Hunchback retelling,  SECRETS OF NOTRE DAME to Wattpad. I've made some changes here and there, and I feel more confident about the story now.
          Also coming soon is SIRENETTA, a historical horror retelling of The Little Mermaid.
          
          Lastly, I also want to make time for me and pause when needed for mental health. This can vary from some short solo-travels to staying at home and doing non-writing related stuff and not seeing anyone at all. 
          
          That's about it <3 Thank you again for all your support and patience!

Hello, my lovelies!
          Another year wrapped up nicely, even with all the ups and downs.
          
          Writing-wise, I published my own musical-fantasy anthology - woo-hoow! 
          Edits on book 1 of the Fallen Angel duology are still with the editor. Anxiously awaiting the final report. I'll try querying one last time, but if not, I will definitely self-publish this book.
          
          On a more personal note, I finally got to see a little bit of Scotland (yay!) and Norway. 
          And, I had some HUGE meet&greets this year.
          I met with three actors who inspired characters in Fallen Angel, namely Jamie Campbell Bower (my Gabriel), Ben Barnes (my Lucifer) and Tom Hiddleston (my Samael). And of course, if you caught my October post, I met my absolute fav. author and inspiration, Philippa Gregory. 
          I love and appreciate each so much, because they're so talented, humble, and kind to their fans, but actually meeting Tom himself after his performance in Much Ado About Nothing actually made me cry into my friend's arms. I needn't explain why, if you know you know ❤
          
          Finally, I want to thank you all for your support and patience, especially since I'm still trying to get back into my writing and uploading groove. No worries, though, I plan on finishing all WIP's... someday lol.

Chapters 85 and 86 of DAUGHTER OF HEAVEN are posted! The end is near ;-)
          Thank you to everyone who's been waiting patiently for the story to return <3
