#HorrorWritersChat Acanthus is probably giving me a home-made salve for aches and pains. Cypress is giving me a little whittled charm, probably in the shape of a wolf's head or a rose.
Rebecca (the MC for Such Sweet Sorrow) is probably giving me a starbucks giftcard or coffee.
#HorrorWritersChat I'm working on two concurrently -- one in edits, one in drafts.
Aloe (edits) is all about pushing back on hateful rhetoric and standing up for yourself and the people around you.
Such Sweet Sorrow (draft) is all about navigating grief -- the depersonalization, horror, sorrow.
#HorrorWritersChat It was vaguely humanoid, but it swirled with the shadows that gathered from the corners of the room. It slowly solidified. As the blackness began to shine with the strange gleam of the fire, the flame sputtered.

#TBB If you have a project you're thinking about crowdfunding, why not do it in a collective? The people involved in The Book Bazaar have literally been the most supportive, lovely, fun people I could ask to hang out with. Check out the originally thread and apply, there's a bunch of reasons why!

The shape yawned, catlike. Only the teeth could be seen, thousands slim and sharp as a needle. Little footsteps stumbled in the dark, a door swung closed nearby. I watched the teeth follow the steps out into the long shiny happy hallway and crossed myself. I hate this job.
Howdy #HorrorWritersChat , I am so late! Woops!
I'm Artemis Quinn, I write dark fantasy, supernatural horror, and the odd paranormal romance, and...
Probably nothing, lol. I was born on a Wednesday with a waxing moon and no real prominent births or deaths.
And it's a fun cover to work on! 😁
👀I need to go play with it!!
Thank you!! :D
Thanks, Rami! Sorry I was late!
#HorrorWritersChat I'm officially funded, but there's 19 days left to back Aloe! Some fun stretch goals and shenaniganry.
There are also 10 other creators involved in The Book Bazaar, and two still need to be funded! Check it out:
