Hooray, “Communing with Spirit” has made the Shortlist for ONC 2026!! This is my second year running on the Shortlist, and I’m so grateful to anyone who has read or voted or commented on the story (and to those special people who have done all three! ❤️❤️❤️)

The amazing @AnnamitaMuscaria has published her first book, Hell is an Empty Heart, on Amazon - and guys, it looks STUNNING! The most gorgeous cover you could ever hope to see - you’ll want to display it face-outwards on your bookshelf like they do in Waterstones! 
          Add to this Anna’s intense visual descriptions and badass female characters, and you’ve got a seriously desirable piece of literature! I honestly can’t recommend this book highly enough - it has inspired me in so many ways! Check it out on Amazon: 
          Hell is an Empty Heart (The Triple Moon’s Chronicles Book 1) https://amzn.eu/d/0h1d8Xjr

@obliviablack Oh if you buy a "Kindle" copy on Amazon, you can read it on any device - I'm reading it on my laptop. Just a tip if you ever want to read an e-book from Amazon, they're so inexpensive. They're stored on your Amazon account so you need to be logged in to read them. I just discovered this!!!!!

I’m a little late with this shout-out, but my friend @ella_rowan has finished her first ONC entry, “Surprise Wedding on an Alien Planet”, and I urge you to check it out! It’s a hilarious space-fantasy-romance about fake relationships and soulmates trying to ignore their feelings! 
          
          Never met a romantic pairing so perfectly matched as Vince and Howard in this story! (Yes, it’s Vince and Howard from The Mighty Boosh, so expect Boosh-levels of humour and gloriously inventive silliness!) It’s a tender-hearted romance, with awesome world-building and narrative jokes (Keep an eye out for my favourite tourist attraction on Xooberon, the Endless Screaming Steps! XD)

@ella_rowan Lol, I can sympathise! I hate endless steps! Have you ever seen the film of Howl’s Moving Castle? (I don’t think it’s in the book) Sophie and the Witch of the Waste are both old ladies climbing the palace steps, and it takes so long that, despite being mortal enemies, they end up cheering each other on! XD

And “Communing with Spirit” is now FINISHED! ❤️❤️❤️
          
          Thank you so much to everyone who’s been reading and voting (even to the spammers, who I suppose increased the number of page views on the story, even if they were a constant headache!) I really loved writing this one, and I mean to stay happy and grateful for it, no matter what happens in the actual contest part!
