Thank you to the @OpenNovellaContest for encouraging a writer who’s been struggling with her creativity for the past two years. You have no idea how much I appreciate your support. And congratulations to every finalist and EVERY writer who attempted the Open Novella challenge. It takes courage to search for a prompt and create a story with little preparation time. Every single one of you killed it! And thank you @SandyDragon1 for alerting me in your Discord post. It was a very nice surprise!
          	
          	If you’d like to read GIRL IN THE MIRROR, you can find it here!
          	
          	Maricel has spent years trying to forget the house she grew up in - the house where her mother's mental health slowly unraveled. But after receiving unexpected news, she has no choice but to return. The old fears should be gone, just like her childhood "imaginary friend" who only appeared in her reflection.
          	
          	At first, it's easy to dismiss the strange occurrences: a flicker in the glass, a movement that doesn't quite match hers. But then the reflection smiles when she doesn't. Moves when she's still. Whispers things she doesn't want to hear.
          	
          	By the time Maricel realizes the truth - that the thing in the mirror has been waiting for her return - it's too late. Because now, it wants out.
          	
          	And it wants to take her place.

Hello, Monrosey! 
          
          I am currently reading "Of the Blood" and it's a great story! I'm currently on the first chapter, as I started reading this book a week ago or so. I'm excited to see how the book will continue!

@NinnyMakesBooks thank you for reaching out—it means a lot! Of the Blood is my soul story and tricky for me to write. I hope you enjoy it!

hi @Monrosey !! 
          
          i don't know if you'll see this, but i wanted to say i just finished reading your book, "down came the rain," and it was INCREDIBLE!!! i was curious, in the last part there was a hint at a second book called "eye of the storm," i didn't see it on your profile - did you ever end up writing that story? if not, i will still definitely be reading more of your works - you're very talented! thank you for the amazing story, i loved the fan art section at the end so much!
          
          -all the best, 
          a fan :)

@missmadwoman222 thank you!! I loved writing that story. A sequel is the plan but is has taken a backseat at the moment. I do hope to start it at some point. Thank you again for reading g and for reaching out! xoxo
