THINGS OF NOTE:

My short story, "Seek" has been released today! It's available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Smashwords, and will also be available in print in a few weeks, because it's part of the line-up in my first anthology, Love Devours!

What would you do to be with the love of your life? Seek, a lady knight, has asked herself this question and come to a bone-chilling conclusion: she would summon a monster from the ocean's depths. But is Lady Ella truly worth the ugly price the monster demands?

"Seek" is a dark fantasy short story about desire and how strange love can be. "Seek" is part of the forthcoming collection LOVE DEVOURS: TALES OF MONSTROUS ADORATION, Sarah Diemer's first anthology, a collection of queer dark fantasy and science fiction stories.

I wrote so much today that my eyes are actually blurry. Like, I can't see this screen type of blurry. I'm sooooooooooooo cloooooooooooooooose to finishing the last story in Love Devours, but I just don't have the energy for it. It's my favorite, out of the ENTIRE anthology (and I love all of these babies very, very much, so that's saying something!), and I'm so excited about the premise, and I love the characters, but it will HAVE TO WAIT because EYEBALLS are KIND OF IMPORTANT.

In lieu of lots of thinky thoughts that I hope to post either tomorrow or the day after, I wanted to share the covers of the rest of the short stories of LOVE DEVOURS, and--hence--the titles! You can SORT of guess what each one is about, but I'm going to keep that in the dark just a tiiiiiiiiny bit longer. :) <3

Salem was everything it needed to be--and more. I am refreshed, rejuvenated, filled with passion and constant and consistent energy. I had this week off from work, so once we got home from Massachusetts, I did a complete rehaul of my Temple Room (I do this about every six months or so--it keeps it fresh, and I get so reinvigorated in the sacred space!), sat down in it and finished "The Witch Sea," came up with the storylines for the rest of my anthology, Love Devours: Tales of Monstrous Adoration, created the cover...

(I THINK IT SHINY. <3)



And then I wrote down the outline of the final re-write of Twixt. And began it.

If you have been with me from the beginning of Twixt, you know what this book is to me, what it does to me, how deeply and passionately I have loved and hated it. It is my muse of a book. It is my ultimate book. It has taken me through the worst depression writing has ever given me, and the most ultimate of highs that writing has ever given me, and it is my magnum opus of creation...

And, this last re-write, literally years in the making, has begun.

I am ecstatic beyond words. And I feel so fucking satisfied, I could burst.

It's about time, Twixt. You were worth waiting for. <3
