Long time no see and an announcement

Life has been life-ing. That's all I have to say--but I won't let it get me down. I've been writing one of my strongest stories yet--a romance that has exposed some sides of me that I never thought I would imagine. (Who says marriage corrupts imagination, am I right?) I think taking my time with it is one of the best things I ever done.

My mental and emotional health are thanking me for this. I feel like a demon has been exorcised from me...Funny that, considering the paranormal side of my other name. Check out Rin Nocturne's work on Amazon.

If I keep talking about it here, it'll guarantee spoilers. I'm still working on ebook cover design for it as well as a release date. I'll give you a hint with a prompt: Think about the worst thing you could do to your spouse. Would you do it? What would the circumstances look like?

I've been catching up on video games like Genshin Impact, Wuthering Waves, Honkai Star Rail, Honkai Impact 3rd, and most recently: Duet Night Abyss.

This story will be published as Seraphine Vale pen name. Thanks for supporting my work!

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...

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...

✍🏾One Year Author Anniversary 📚

I missed this post by a day, but yeah. The 25th marked one year since I made the decision to return to independent publishing. I am not new to online publishing, far from it. I've been published on and off since 2004--I was a baby author in training then--from fanfiction to poetry,--I wrote and love it all. I actually discuss my first journey in this post here. What does my writing routine actually like? When I write, I make sure to have three things on me at all times (if not all three, then at least one) My phone (The Notes feature is handy) A notebook and pen/pencil My Ipad I write in the mornings and late into the night---whenever and wherever I can. There's no true routine to it. How do you handle burnout, writer’s block, or “this is trash” days? I'm learning to preserve ideas that don't work, characters who don't sing to my tune, and scenes that have no place. I collect them in a notebook for later projects. They will bear ...
