Embers of Lament Release Day & Cover Reveal

Today marks the beginning of a new month--and the end of my first short story trilogy, Ashen Veil. This series is about the effects of the Salem Witch Trials on one girl and the city in which she lives. Eleanor Sorenden finds out that the ghost of one of the victims of this time shares her body--and things get more complicated from there.

If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you for supporting me on this author journey so far, leaving reviews, downloading the stories, and sharing them all over the Internet and word of mouth really helps my confidence, especially as a short story writer.

Official Blurb:

Eleanor Sorenden has shattered the cycle of history—but the cost of breaking fate is heavier than she ever imagined. As Margaret's power fully merges with her own, she finds herself standing at the precipice of a world unraveling. The Order's grip on Aria is slipping, but something darker has taken its place—a force that has waited centuries to rise, feeding off the remnants of Salem's sins and the fear of the present. With the city fracturing under waves of hysteria, murders, and strange possessions, Eleanor, Jonas, and their allies must uncover the truth hidden within the ancient texts of the Circle of the Veil. But knowledge alone won't be enough—Eleanor's body and soul bear the scars of every choice she's made, and the line between herself and Margaret is blurring. If she gives in, she might lose herself entirely. If she resists, she might doom them all. As the final battle looms, Eleanor must decide what it truly means to be a witch—not just in power, but in purpose. Will she wield Margaret's legacy to protect the future, or will she become the very thing she once fought against? The Ashen Veil is thinning, and what lurks beyond it is ready to consume everything.

Welcome to My World—Short Fiction, Big Feelings

Hey there, beautiful readers. I'm so glad you stumbled across this little corner of the internet, where stories smolder, hearts break (in the best way), and every sentence tries to punch you right in the feels. I'm an Aquarius and Earth Dragon—writer, dreamer, INFJ introvert in survival mode—and I publish under two pen names that reflect the duality of my storytelling soul: Rin Nocturne , where I get unapologetically bold, dramatic, and just a little bit magical. Think Sailor Moon vibes crash-landing into raw emotional landscapes, with a sprinkle of modern fantasy and mythology. Seraphine Vela , the name I use for stories that carry a different kind of weight—more literary, still emotional, but grounded in character and language-driven worlds. Let’s talk shop for a second. What I Write ✍️ I specialize in short fiction —because sometimes you don’t need 100,000 words to wreck someone emotionally (in a good way). Whether it’s a 10-page gut-punch or a novella that mak...

TRAILER LAUNCH: Endsong of Dragons is Almost Here

Readers, stars, and stormchasers… Today, I release the official trailer for Endsong of Dragons , the fourth and final book in my Dragon’s Breath, Human Heart series. It’s a moment I’ve dreamed of—and dreaded—for years. Because this is more than an ending. It’s a reckoning. It’s a goodbye to a girl who became a legend. It’s a love letter to every reader who dared to believe a broken world could still be beautiful. 💔🔥❄ “She didn’t just survive the frost. She became the echo it left behind.” This is Mira Grayson’s final song —a story of power, reflection, and a woman who never asked to be chosen, but chose herself anyway. “I’m not yours,” she whispered to the storm. “I never was.” Thank you to everyone who’s walked this path with me, especially those who’ve carried Mira through every transformation, fracture, and firelight flicker. Your encouragement has meant everything. I wrote this series for the misfits, the quiet ones, the fierce-hearted. I wrote it for you . A...

Catch Up Blog

I need to take a breather and reevaluate my goals as a writer/creator. I have published 27 short stories across both of my pen names Seraphine Vale and Rin Nocturne. That’s a lot. I know my works are shorter, but that’s to be expected since I write how I talk for the most part. This self-publishing journey is nothing new to me. I originally started writing online when I was 16 years old. There was a website called FictionPress.com. It still exists, but it’s nowhere near where it once was, for obvious reasons. I don’t remember how I came across it, though. On that site, people could submit—chapter by chapter—original fiction and you would get reviews from members of the FictionPress. It was a fun way to make friends, share interests and inspiration, and get feedback. I started self-publishing when word about Amanda Hocking’s success caught my eye. I loved the idea of seeing my work on Amazon and Barnes and Noble’s websites without a middleman or the wait and jumped on that imm...
