I've been away from Bluesky, busy with writing projects and reading. In fact, I just finished Chris Sorenson's The Haunting of Sorrow's Leap. I didn't want it to end! MASSIVE fun from the first page to the last. #gothic #supernaturalstory #paranormalstory #authors&writing

#authors&writing #writingcommunity #gothic #gothicmystery While readers won't be able to see this scene in my next Gothic romance project, writing it has been helpful. You can read the scene on my Substack: judithvila.substack.com/p/a-tale-rea...

I wrote this tale and it became the origin story of one of the characters in my next book.

It's been raining and raining so of course I baked! This is a gingercake based on an 1850s recipe. Kinda goes with the period my book is set in.

Writinggroupjonz@writinggroupjonz· May 22

I shared about writing a backstory scene. C'mon over, check out my Substack and let me know if you've ever written backstory scenes, too! substack.com/home/post/p-... #authors&writing #writingcommunity

#gothic #paranormalromance Don't you love a strong female lead? BLOOD & WOLF by Judith Vila.

Writinggroupjonz@writinggroupjonz· May 14

#horrorwriting #writingcommunity I cracked open this gothic-y thriller last night, and I'm so enjoying it. This book will be my buddy on my commute today. What are you reading?

Writinggroupjonz@writinggroupjonz· May 11

#writingcommunity The mushrooms have arrived! If I wrote #horror, I might get worried. But I'm a gothic romance/mystery with horror elements kinda girl, so I'm cool with these beauties emerging all over the garden.

#Authors&Writing #WriterSky #WritingCommunity #gothic I'm rereading The Woman in Black and having a great time! The setting is so eerie and remote, and so beautifully described. I haven't seen the movie becuz I'm afraid it will disappoint. If you've seen it, what did you think?

#paranormalromance #gothic My female main character has a #phobia - can you guess what it is? Buy the book and help a local bookshop: bookshop.org/p/books/bloo...

#authors&writing #writingcommunity Happy May! According to some, this is a month of growth. So, for my author growth, I'm experimenting with creative writing on my Substack (link in Profile). Plus, I'm polishing a short story, involving a young lady and a few insects. Ew.

#writingcommunity #horrorwriting Earlier this week, I finished THE GHOST WOODS by C. J. Cooke -- LOVED IT! Chilling, atmospheric--and the cultural issues are relevant for today.

#writingcommunity #authors&writing A slow and easy morning. Fueling myself and thinking about my writing projects. (I don't look this good--this captured for me the feeling of the heavenly scent of morning coffee.)

Writinggroupjonz@writinggroupjonz· Apr 21

#authors&writing Last blast of one of the magnolias in Lasdon Gardens. The estate is worthy of a #Gothic: a history filled with bankruptcy, murders, riven families. Friends reported a ghost in the American Victorian house--a maid in a black dress & white starched apron. Sadly, I've never seen her!

Writinggroupjonz@writinggroupjonz· Apr 14

#WIPSnips #writingcommunity #paranormalromance #gothic BLOOD & WOLF is available from fine book retailers. You get a historical, clean, slow-burn romance, with elements of horror.

Whirling around, I sent my long gray skirts dancing about my ankles to come face-to-chest with the handsome young doctor from the steamship. His imposing height forced me to tip my head back, yet the broad expanse of his shoulders was comforting after looking at the trees.

“Are you a monster?” Midew’s eyes glittered with challenge. “Or can you become what this land needs—a predator powerful enough to keep the destroyers at bay?” From BLOOD & WOLF

If we continued our conversation, I’d say something I’d regret, and we’d fall to quarreling again, risking my employment. The thought of returning to New York City, dismissed before I’d even started, was intolerable. After all, the only thing to go back to was poverty. The Van Der Vursts represented the first step in what I hoped would be a successful career. I had to do well in this position. Blood & Wolf

#paranormalromancebooks Yup, it's got #werewolves but it's not the usual. Fated mates? No. Powerful alpha wolf? Kinda, but not in the way you think. Strong female main character who kicks ass? OH YEAH! books2read.com/u/bQLO00

#WIPSnip #paranormalromance #writingcommunity #authors&writing Let's see if this shows up better!

“Through the narrow crack, bright light filtered, and I heard the thrumming of gentlemen’s conversations, the tinkle of ladies’ laughter, and the orchestra playing a light melody—a country dance, perhaps. My hand rested on the wrought-iron handle, ready to slide the door back, when other fingers—white gloved and solid—came from behind me and clamped down on my wrist.”

#authors&writing #writingcommunity I meant to post this yesterday, but I got jammed up on a lot of other things. (I've just released BLOOD & WOLF and discovered there's lots more to do.) Anyway, here's yesterdays #wipsnip

Writinggroupjonz@writinggroupjonz· Mar 20

BLOOD & WOLF is officially released! March 20 seemed perfect because it marks the equinox--start of spring, Northern Hemisphere and start of autumn, Southern Hemisphere. This day signifies transition! books2read.com/u/bQLO00 #werewolves #gothic #paranormalromance #gothicromance
