Okay, I can finally say this: Dead Men Don’t Take Holidays is on Wattpad!
          
          I’ve been reworking this strange, messy, darkly funny little world for a while, and I’m really excited to finally let other people wander into it.
          
          It’s got murder, monsters, grief, bad decisions, complicated relationships, supernatural weirdness, and a healthy disregard for anyone who thinks things should ever be normal.
          
          If you’ve been curious about Shiloh, Fraser, and the rest of this wonderfully dysfunctional bunch, this is your invitation.
          Dead Men Don’t Take Holidays is officially on Wattpad. Come see what happens. 🖤
          

hi  i think we were doing a read for read, you read 5 chapters of my book vitamin bullet  2. what book was ai reading of yours.  i'll start  now.  im sorry my job takes up my time  so just give me time.  i'll always read.

I'm interested in your book, "All the devils in the Pines." Could we do a review swap on my book, "Hidden Hollow (revised version)"? It's also mystery.

 CHAPTER 14 IS HERE — THE BLACKWOOD MUSEUM ️
          
          Well... Fraser and Rue have officially gone from “let's survive the forest” to “let's break into a supernatural historical archive and hope nothing kills us.”
          
          Chapter 14 picks up right where things left off, with the two of them heading into the Blackwood Historical Museum of the Unseen in search of answers about Jasper Silvanus III. What they find inside, however, might raise even more questions.
          
          This chapter has a little bit of everything: eerie Appalachian atmosphere, supernatural history, family secrets, dark humor, emotional vulnerability, and Fraser continuing to be Fraser while surrounded by things that absolutely should not be touched.
          
          We also get a deeper look at the strange history connecting the Castillo, Beaumont, and Blackwood families, including an old supernatural accord that may explain why Jasper has been so interested in them.
          
          And then there's Abby Kwong.
          
          Because apparently wandering into a forbidden archive wasn't stressful enough.
          
          “Please let this just be old books.”
          
          Fraser, buddy... you really should know better by now. 
          
          This chapter also pushes Rue and Fraser's relationship into some interesting territory. They're not simply two strangers who happened to survive the same nightmare anymore. They're beginning to recognize each other's darker thoughts, weaknesses, and responsibilities, while still maintaining that weird friendship-partnership dynamic that neither of them quite knows how to label.
          
          And yes, Fraser is still making jokes in situations where absolutely nobody asked him to.
          
          Chapter 14: The Blackwood Museum is officially out. 
          
          Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy the descent into the archives.
          
          What do you think Fraser and Rue are going to discover down there? And more importantly... do you trust Abby? 

Chapter 13 is officially out, and somehow Rue and Fraser have managed to make surviving supernatural horrors look almost like a normal teenage road trip.
          
          Almost.
          
          After everything that happened in the forest, Rue and Fraser finally have a quiet moment at the motel. There’s rain against the windows, a little vulnerability, some questionable flirting, and a conversation neither of them really knows how to have.
          
          Because apparently the hardest thing these two have to figure out isn't how to survive a supernatural entity.
          
          It's what the hell they are to each other. 
          
          Friends?
          
          Partners?
          
          Something more?
          
          Neither of them has the answer, and honestly, they're both terrible at pretending they don't care.
          
          Meanwhile, Rue's visions continue to haunt her, Fraser remains determined to make jokes at the worst possible moments, and the two of them wake up the next morning with an entirely new problem waiting downstairs.
          
           Police.
          
           A burned-down diner.
          
           Bodies.
          
           The Marcone brothers.
          
           Supernatural crime scenes.
          
          And, because apparently the universe hates these kids, the Beaumont family name comes up in conversation.
          
          Rue has to walk through that motel lobby pretending she hasn't just heard things she absolutely wasn't supposed to hear.
          
          And waiting outside?
          
          Fraser.
          
          On his motorcycle.
          
          Because of course he is.
          
          Chapter 13 is where the story starts digging deeper into the strange little partnership between Rue and Fraser while widening the supernatural world around them. They're not just trying to survive anymore. They're beginning to realize that whatever is happening around them is connected to something much bigger.
          
          And neither of them is prepared for what they're going to find at the Blackwood Historical Museum of the Unseen.

✦ CHAPTER 12 IS HERE ✦
          
          Chapter 12 is officially out! ️
          
          Rue Beaumont and Fraser Delacroix have survived forests, monsters, questionable life decisions, and enough supernatural nonsense to fill several therapy sessions.
          
          Unfortunately, they still have to deal with each other.
          
          This chapter gets a little quieter for a moment, giving Rue and Fraser some time to breathe after everything they've been through. There are late-night conversations, uncomfortable feelings, terrible jokes, motel-room vulnerability, and two people slowly realizing that whatever is happening between them is becoming much harder to define.
          
          Are they friends?
          
          Are they partners?
          
          Are they something else?
          
          Honestly, they don't seem to know either. 
          
          Meanwhile, the supernatural world is very much not giving them a break.
          
          There's a storm, a suspicious motel, police officers asking questions they probably shouldn't be asking, supernatural crime scenes, the Beaumont family, and a certain forest god who is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.
          
          And because this is Rue and Fraser we're talking about, somehow all of that has to coexist with McDonald's breakfast and Fraser being Fraser.

@schma10 ok

@schma10, why did they do that 

Hi
          
          Can we do F4f 

CHAPTERS 10 & 11 ARE HERE 
          
          Two new chapters of *All the Devils in the Pines* are officially up, and Fraser and Raquel are having a **terrible night.**
          
          Chapter 10 takes them to a diner where an old family connection, a supernatural ambush, and one very unfortunate conversation with Earl turn into absolute chaos. There are monsters, bullets, machetes, a burning diner, a motorcycle ride through a storm, and, somehow, **chocolate cupcakes.**
          
          Because apparently saving your life doesn't mean you can't stop for dessert.
          
          Then Chapter 11 slows everything down.
          
          For once, Fraser and Raquel get a motel room, some pizza, bad television, rain against the windows, and a few precious hours where nobody is actively trying to kill them. Of course, that doesn't mean things are exactly peaceful. Family secrets, old wounds, scars, school trauma, and the question of whether these two are actually going to survive what's coming all start creeping into the conversation.
          
          One chapter is blood-soaked chaos.
          
          The other is two exhausted teenagers eating Pizza Hut in pajamas while pretending their lives aren't completely insane.
          
          And honestly? They both needed the break.
          
           **Chapter 10: the diner massacre.**
          ️ **Chapter 11: the motel aftermath.**
           **Fraser brings pizza.**
           **The desserts survive.**
           **Earl does not.**
          
          Read Chapters 10 & 11 of *All the Devils in the Pines* now.
