Magic can end up in the hands of anyone if they know where to look. Magical items litter the streets if you know where to look, and will work for anyone who happens upon them. While the Syndicate tries to keep them from falling into the wrong hands – or any hands at all – even they don`t know how many remain outside of the Evidence Locker at the back of the office.
Evidence looks at the stories of some of the magical artifacts that the Syndicate has yet to track down. Wands and pendants often find their way into the possession of people who don’t fully understand their potential or the consequences of using them.
The Evidence paperback is out at last! I’m slowly getting this whole series into print and I’m getting so close to done! For now, though, enjoy getting your very own paperback of my Canadian supernatural horror anthology series!
I know, I haven’t announced when the next book is coming out yet even though I said I would. I’ve been having a personal life crisis and I don’t want to pick a date without knowing that I can hit it. I will say that tentatively April, though. And until then, I have a few books for you to check out to get you in the mood for the next release!
Of course! Check out the original and see where the original ideas all came from! It’s a bit of a strange read, but very worthwhile! It’s remarkably both similar and different from a lot of the movie adaptations, and it’s fun to see where the original story went.
Alice being a bit of a loner and being called to another world? Yep! Horror elements and questionable life choices? Check! A whole bunch of fairy tales that you didn’t really think belonged together but work surprisingly well in a single book? Bingo!
I feel like this one is almost cheating with how similar it is. It follows a young girl going to a boarding school of other young girls who have all been to another world and are trying to either readjust to life in the real world or head back to their fantastical other realms. Also, it’s a lot of fun!
Bianca’s story of going to school to save her own life and the lives of her family from a cruel curse has echoes of a similar journey to it. Also, the universe is a little fun, though I would warn about that one chapter involving a cat for anyone sensitive to that.
I know this is a bit of a weird one, but this one has a very similar feel to it as the second half of The Looking Glass Saga. Each of the three girls has elements of Alice or Adrianna to them, and the demon definitely feels like some combination of the Bandersnatch and Cheshire Cat.
It’s that time again to bring back the quotes roundup for the month! In case you don’t follow me on social media, these are the quotes that got posted this month! These are all from The Looking Glass Saga.
It’s that time of year to try and capitalize on listicles and gift guides! For today, some suggestions of things to ask for or to get for people who are just kind of done with everything.
For those who want to be a little more quiet about how completely done they are with everything, you can get started with a pair of socks that express your innermost thoughts. No one has to know. Yet.
For those a little more bold, there’s always this lovely set of stackable bracelets. You can pick the one that suits you best on any given day, or you can just wear them all!
For those who would much rather not have swearing on them as they are walking around, but do still want to tell people to go away, there’s always a backpack that should get the point across.
Want people to know just what they’re getting into as soon as they get into your place? Well, why not get a print that makes everything nice and clear?
Lastly, because there’s so many freelancers out there, I wanted to add in something for people who have had the discussion before. You know the discussion. Get paid, everyone.
Thank you everyone for participating in the poll this year and giving me this gift of which novel I’m writing for my birthday. Cloned Evil won the poll and I am very excited to get started on it! Now to figure out if I can somehow manage to write the whole series in one month…
Heads up for those who live in the area! I’m going to be at Canzine in a few weeks! I’m getting better at making sure I make it out to events like this and it’s a lot of fun to get a chance to actually meet some of you in person. I’ll have books, the shorts, and maybe a couple other fun things if you ask nice.
There’s also just a lot of other cool stuff there? When I went last year, it was really cool and I met a lot of really great people. Plus, it’s at the library this year, so if you’re in town why not?
There’s a lot of resources that I’ve been relying on to make all these books and aesthetic stuff over the years. I might as well share a could of them with everyone, eh?
Programs
Some cheaper alternatives to some of the more expensive options ((And Adobe in specific, which I really want to get off of)) that are out there. I’ve used all of these and found them to be almost as good as the standard products, though some have a bit of a steeper learning curve than others.

After all this time, the end was finally in sight.
Alice long ago learned that life wasn’t fair. She had tried everything to defeat the Bandersnatch, but he remained deep in the forest of Lucena Academy. With only one semester left, she thought she could just enjoy herself as much as possible and wait until he finally took her away forever.
But when Adrianna suddenly falls into a coma, Alice knows there’s something strange happening. At the direction of the monster about to claim her, she must go back into Wonderland and through the depths of Neverland to find a way to wake her up. Alice knows time is running out for her, but she will stop at nothing to make sure Adrianna is okay.
