It’s not all gore & terror in my collection of short #horror fiction, the Mistress of the Crows. ‘Not in the Lifetime’ is a paranormal romance tale, perfect for #ValentinesDay. But be warned, the road to Happy Ever After goes down some dark paths. mybook.to/MOTC 🩸📚💙 #booksky #books #skywriters

#HorrorWritersChat Question 4 I’ve only written one sex scene, guess I’ll go with that. I originally wanted it to be disturbing & fucked (heh) up, but it was 2 girls with PTSD-eroded souls rediscovering their humanity, so it turned out very tender. Still ended the scene on a bittersweet note tho.

In ye old days, when I did TweetFic, I wrote a short, romantic, ghost story inspired by a malfunctioning bathtub. And I was going to repost it on my ko-fi on Friday, but I might as well just do it now. Okay, done. "Little Things" ko-fi.com/post/Little-... #HorrorWritersChat

Oh man so this book is currently in progress but there's no other character I could have chosen. #HorrorWritersChat "Hey, I'm Trevor! I'm looking for a man who plays rough. Really rough. No, rougher than that. My interests include D&D and true crime podcasts. (Brisk Valley Butcher can GET IT! 🥵)"

#HorrorWritersChat Um. Actually I'm not sure. I've got some good marriages down on paper but really my strength is friendship. My current favourite one of those is Richard and Mina from Folk in the Wood. Those two went from strength to strength. I loved them.

Oh boy...uh...Kestrel, from a novel I'm currently midway through rewriting. Though perhaps not besties, I do feel an incredible urge to take care of her. #HorrorWritersChat

Listen, I keep saying that "The Grace Variations" is my most romantic story. Yes, it's tragic (sorry) but I do think there's a lot of love in it. Y'all can judge for yourselves, if you like. Heed the content warnings though. acoupofowls.com/2024/03/15/s... #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Oh god I'm gonna be honest my romance writing has always ended badly for my characters, but my spicy scenes leave everyone content and satisfied although sometimes battered and bruised.

#HorrorWtitersChat I think my current favorite flirting scene is still the ending of "Fishnets and Carabineer." I need to write more romance, I've been told I'm very good at it.
