  • Making bottle charms

    The story behind me starting to make bottle charms was an accident. I got the bottles to put paper stars into. The problem was that they are too small for the stars to fit inside.

    I saw something online. Somewhere. I think it was an idea posted to a wedding group as something to put on tables for the guests to take at the end of the night. Some kind of decoration. Hopefully they weren’t making enough of these for everyone to take home, or that they had a very small wedding, because these are not as easy to make as I’d hope for a wedding.

    On the other hand, they’re very relaxing to make. And they’re pretty cute.

    Unfortunately for me, I have no idea what I’m going to do with them all. Please take them from me.

    My dear Alice, the girl who can handle a still beating heart with her bare hands and match wits with the Cheshire Cat but can’t tell her friends to back off when she’s uncomfortable has a face! With the series getting so close to done, I thought it was about time I asked someone to draw her. The details are fantastic and I love it!

    Of course, we couldn’t just do Alice! Adrianna, who wants only what’s best for everyone around her and will stop at nothing until they have found happiness. She’s in for a few surprises in the later parts of the series, but my dear Snow White allegory will continue to try and make sure no one has to suffer Wonderland ever again.

  • In the Garden of Memories out October 19!

    We’re doing a whole bunch of things today! I know I should spread it all out, but I’m excited now to announce the final book in The Looking Glass Saga! So we’re going to do the announcement, cover reveal, and preorder all in one go. Okay? Okay.

    The next AND FINAL book is called In the Garden of Memories and it comes out on October 19, 2020! Yes it’s from the Mad Hatter quote. You know how I love my quote references. It also is surprisingly fitting for this book

    Happily ever after. That’s how it was supposed to go, right?

    There was no reason to be suspicious. Her grades were better than they ever had been. Lance was withdrawn, but Adam wasn’t itching for a fight for once. Her friends talked about their plans for the future and carefully avoided mentioning the past. Still, she couldn’t shake the feeling that they were hiding something.

    She looked into the mirror, feeling there was something she was missing. From the other side of the looking glass, a pair of purple eyes and a too wide smile stared back.

    Preorder now!

  • Looking Glass Saga Microfiction – The Cheshire Cat and the White Rabbit

    Looking Glass Saga Microfiction – The Cheshire Cat and the White Rabbit

    The next little bit of microfiction1, this time a chat between the Cheshire Cat and the White Rabbit.

    “If you don’t like her, then you should have gotten another one.”

    “I never said I didn’t like her. Just that she is a very stupid mouse.”

    “You could take her place.”

    “As could you.”

    “I shan’t.”

    “Nor shall I.”

    Pause.

    “But she is a very stupid mouse.”

  • Looking Glass Saga Microfiction – Adam hides in Wonderland

    Looking Glass Saga Microfiction – Adam hides in Wonderland

    The next little bit of microfiction1, this time around Adam and his quest to hide from Alice while she was trying to find him in Wonderland.

    Adam wasn’t sure why he came this way. Not until he saw her. 

    Alice. Of course it was Alice. How she kept summoning him, Adam had no idea.

    He popped the mushroom into his mouth and shrank. She would not find him today. She would not make him go home.

  • Adam Aesthetic

    Adam Case has always preferred action to words. Determined and endlessly stubborn, he will stop at nothing to get something done, regardless of who he has to hurt to do it. Does he feel any remorse for anything he’s done? It’s hard to say, but he certainly isn’t going to admit to it.

  • Looking Glass Saga Microfic – Matt in Neverland

    Looking Glass Saga Microfic – Matt in Neverland

    Spoilers? But this was revealed several books ago, so I’m feeling pretty safe about it. Today we have a quick look at Matt when he arrived in Neverland.

    Since appearing in the forest, Matt was blindfolded, tied up, and taken away. They spoke in hushed tones, terror in every word. They needed direction.

    They finally let him see. These were all scared kids.

    “Who are you?”

    Matt grinned. “Your new leader.”

  • All Mad Here for Preorder

    I’m entering editing, which means it’s time to set up the preorder for All Mad Here! It will be out on August 24th, hopefully with the paperback as well, but you can guarantee to get the ebook as soon as it’s out!

    She was starting to feel the defeat in her victories. Another day. Another day… 

    Adrianna is taking matters into her own hands. If Alice wasn’t going to help herself, then she was going to do it for her. After saving her from another holiday with her father, she was ready for Wonderland to come back into her life again and she was prepared. But the days keep passing and everything remains far too quiet. 

    Alice is tired. She’s done everything she could possibly think of to make the people around her happy, but it still isn’t enough. Nothing she ever does is enough, and Alice isn’t sure why she’s trying so hard to resist the madness for them.

    (Description also needs a good editing! Stay tuned!)
