green parrot feather
on sidewalk smeared words carved in
cement I was here
sunshine warms bones and spreads wings
clouds billow and drift eastward

Raven Croaks
early morning i
sit drinking tea and listening
to raven croaking
gliding through the air to land
on lamp post slick with dew drops

Kindle Vella Episodes 1-4: Vincent’s Collection of Mystiques
Hello Y’all! I’m thrilled to announce that Episodes One through Four are live on Kindle Vella.
Juniper is a bored witch who works at Vincent’s Collection of Mystiques. One Halloween night a series of events starts a dark and twisted journey filled with ancient magic, mystery, and romance.
Episode One: A Witch
It’s Halloween and Juniper is a twenty-something-year-old witch who lives in the seaside city of Francesca. She works at the antique shop Vincent’s Collection of Mystiques and is struggling with the passing of her mother.
Episode Two: A Studio
Juniper heads home to prep for the coven’s meeting. She’s kept dark secrets from the other witches for fear that she’d be cast out.
Episode Three: A Man
Catching a quick bite before the midnight mass, she stops by one of her favorite haunts and runs into a tall mysterious man named Severin who appears painfully human and innocent.
Episode Four: A Date?
Severin and Juniper end up having a short “date” if that’s what it could be called. She’s enchanted by his nonchalant attitude and desires more.

Kindle Vella: Vincent’s Collection of Mystiques
Hello Everyone!
I decided to publish my Fantasy/Horror story Vincent’s Collection of Mystiques through Kindle Vella and Episode One is available to read today! Starting tomorrow, Episodes will be published every other day until the whole book is out there.
Juniper is a bored witch who works at Vincent’s Collection of Mystiques. One Halloween night a series of events starts a dark and twisted journey filled with ancient magic, mystery, and romance.
This book was written during NaNoWriMo 2023 and it is just a fun spooky story that I wanted to get out there. I was inspired by Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Charmed, and Hemlock Grove.
