ALT Book cover for WAKE: Maelstrom Book 1 by Jessica DeLand. Against a swirling purple, star-speckled background, a red-haired ballerina in a black leotard and pink pointe shoes curls inside an intricate gold geometric teardrop symbol, her wrists bound behind her. A sweeping blue-and-rust feather curves along the left side. The title WAKE Maelstrom Book 1 appears in white lettering across the top with Jessica DeLand in white at the bottom.

Anyone ever have nightmares caused by writing?
I'm dipping into horror for the first time and I've been having nightmares. Not every night, but still. It's not normal for me.
Ironically, my finished novel coming out in May is about a guy whose dreams are trying to kill him...

Our latest, Hollow Daggers by @AJLinnemeyer, is in third person. As are our next two, #Wake by @DelandJessica, and #OftheNight by @RichardBrantD. All are great escapism pieces as well.
“Listen. I don’t know if you’re real. You don’t know if I’m real, but under the circumstances, let’s just pretend we’re both real.”
-Excerpt from Of the Night, publishing in 2027 from @whimsillusion
I find the quiet moments are hardest to write.
Heavy plot points are easier, but they don't have the same bite without the quiet before.

Have you ever thought, "I wish there were more novels that logically included both dinosaurs and Civil War-era historical figures"?
Well, Of the Night is coming in 2027 with @whimsillusion. It'll scratch that Allosaurus/Frederick Douglass itch.
Kind of writing related since my WIP is a fishing trip gone bad.
I apparently caught a Tiger Musky (pretty rare) and didn't realize it until looking back at pics. Thought it was a big pike for a month+
