🎉 Smashwords Summer/Winter Sale: My Books Are On Sale All July Long! 📚✨

It’s that magical time again—when your e-reader groans under the weight of all the juicy, weird, wonderful indie books you’ve picked up for cheap (or free 👀). Yep, the Smashwords Summer/Winter Sale is officially on from July 1st through July 31st, and I’ve joined the party with books available under both of my pen names!

So whether you're craving melancholy ghosts and dream logic, or morally questionable magic and supernatural drama, I’ve got you covered.

🌙 Under Seraphine Vale (Speculative, Emotional, Haunting AF):
Wander through eerie dreamscapes, glitchy futures, and the kind of stories that whisper to your soul at 3AM. My speculative short stories and collections live here, with themes of grief, identity, transformation—and a healthy dose of weird.

🛍️ Browse Seraphine Vale’s books on Smashwords

🖤 Under Rin Nocturne (Dark, Queer, Magical):
These stories lean a little darker, with blood magic, morally gray girls, tragic romances, and sharp-toothed magic. If you like your stories broody, witchy, and unapologetically queer—Rin is your girl.

🛍️ Browse Rin Nocturne’s books on Smashwords

✨ Why Now?
Because these stories are discounted or FREE all month long on Smashwords. That’s right. No hoops. Just grab the ebooks, download them in your favorite format, and read to your chaotic little heart’s content.

💡 Pro Tip: Grab ‘em now while they’re cheap. They go back to full price on August 1st, and regret is harder to delete than a DRM-free EPUB.

📅 The Sale Runs:
🕐 July 1 – July 31, 2025
📍 Where: Smashwords Summer Sale

Stock up. Support indie. Escape the heat (or the cold, depending on your hemisphere). And treat yourself to something a little strange, a little sharp, and a lot soul-stirring.

I’ll be posting recs and story spotlights throughout the month, so keep checking back—or better yet, sign up for my newsletter for insider content and discount alerts.

Happy reading, weirdlings. 🖤✨

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...
