STELLAR PARALLAX cover reveal is here!! In twisted underground passageways, in the desolation of space, and on barren landscapes where the fate of a few seeds could make or break the future, the protagonists of Stellar Parallax: Human Hope in Grimdark Worlds find glimmers of light in darkness.
Sneak Peak our newest anthology collab with @ajvanbelle.bsky.social STELLAR PARALLAX is 19 stories that explore the role of hope at the extremes of human experience and finding glimmers of light in darkness. Cover Reveal & Pre-Order Tomorrow!

“Princess? Hmm.” Jace grinned his winning smile. Perfectly aligned, pearly white teeth gleamed under the artificial lights. “Your vibe is more ‘wraith tours of colonial injustice’. Ooh! We could start a ghost tour event in the evenings.” #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WriteSky

Husband was not amused when I suggested we put the fireplace ashes on the sidewalk (for the ice) in the shape of humans.
His dad returned from work and made us the most delicious mac and cheese dinner. I hadn’t had a homemade meal in years. And let me tell you, Vanessa, I don’t know if there’s anything more comforting than cheese melted over pasta. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WriteSky
The #WIPSnips word for December 25th is "delicious" Happy holidays! Whether you're celebrating, spending time with friends & family, or having another normal day, I hope you're able to find some peace and joy and take a moment for a few deep, grounding breaths. We've almost made it through 2025.

The #WIPSnips word for December 21st is "silver" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Radiators are the best when topped with a wool blanket.
