"Your Move," by me, 2018. Silverpoint (silver wire) on a marbledust true gesso panel. It's fun because every mark is permanent, and it will darken over time as the silver tarnishes. The eye-glints were made with a knife.

What I #amwriting isn't just an excuse to play with swords. But damn is it fun. Also, I wish more #fantasy featured spears. They are magnificent weapons and can easily outmatch the swords I used to think were superior. Had to meet a spear-wielder to learn that one. Was impressed.

Ah, 1988's 'David the #Gnome' - these scenes are deeply rooted in my psyche, and this one explains so much about how I learned to communicate. youtu.be/igUDdBLRm-w?t=413

Spooky. Story-worthy.

Mallory isn't sure how he feels when his 11-year-old patron, Arrow, starts to display magical powers. Is it all just in Mallory's head? Or does he only exist in hers? #PitMad #NA #MR #LF

A washed-up writer begins to question reality when his latest client exhibits magical powers. Either she's divine or he's insane, so he hires a private detective to find out. Oh, and one more thing: the writer is a walking, talking skeleton. Literally. #PitMad #NA #MR #LF

What's the last sentence📝 in your novel? Mine is: 'New typewriter, same blank page...' swoonreads.com/m/memoirs-of-… Or, (for something more random) if it's still a #WIP, what's the sentence closest to the end? #writerscommunity #writerslegion #amwriting #amquerying

Here's the cover of my new novel! For all you #magicalrealism lovers in the #writingcommunity, you can read the whole thing on #swoonreads! For #betareaders, here's the tagline: Mallory is a highly-functioning skeleton. But it's the girl he serves that everyone should fear.
