Ah,
The tale of young lovers, divided by a wall, speaking through a niche to one another, taking into confidence those that contrive to have the sweet lady fake her death using a mysterious poison; the lad misunderstanding then attempts his life—I am of course talking about the Count of Monte Cristo.

Prepare to be subjected to several weeks on The Count of Monte Cristo, the book that is actually several books and one diatribe on the belief that Lord Byron was actually a vampire, which I read out of spite.

At 1400 pages it may be the longest book I’ve read.

hello!

and very happy new year!

2022 was an extremely difficult year with some of the most intense ups and downs I have experienced between chaotic issues within my family that have deeply embedded themselves in my psyche (neat!) while also being one of the most productive, satisfying years of my life in terms of creative work!

I had initially put this blog on hiatus in September for travel and then didn’t return until now because of the tumult of life, but reflecting on 2022 I can say without a doubt that I am proud of the things I’ve accomplished.

In 2022 I finished first drafts for Nimue, Lotus Eaters, Woodstock,

I finished a second draft and (da da da!) audio transcript of Sagittarius,

I have been working tirelessly on my heartsore that is the final stages of editing for Aliactast,

and I am well into the third act of Dautless House’s manuscript!

I’ve gotten a boatload of short stories out in the wild and I’ve gotten to work on some lovely editing projects which I’m happy to have been a part of.

Here’s to hoping that 2023 is the year we make an honest wo/man of me in publishing.

I’m looking into be more active on social media (@danymadethis) and in networking, as well as hopefully keeping up the weekly (as as weekly as I can get) book reviews. I’m always grateful for reading recommendations and, o course, for you people.

happy new year, may 2023 not suck
