Don't worry if it's good, if you get a bad critique, if you get writer's block, etc. Write because you love to write. Nothing else matters.

Heart of the Wolf is an ongoing webnovel that I am releasing in 3 seasons. So after this, I'll be continuing work on HotW Season 2! I release chapters in serial style on Kindle Vella once a week.

Read, read, read! And daydream. And listen to epic music. And talk down your ideas into your phone whenever they jump into your head. And then also write.

My personal idea of Heart of the Wolf is something like Shameless meets Twin Peaks with a splash of True Blood. Small town life can be pretty absurd and surprisingly dangerous. It all takes place in Black River, NY which is a real town in New York State. However, my version of Black River, NY is actually based off of a little place called Concrete, WA where I lived for about 6 months back in 2020–2021. I worked for a time as a Journalist covering their Town Hall meetings, and the range of interesting stories and people I met during my time there led to this off-beat concept of Black River, NY. So you’ll find in the story all sorts of little details pulled from my own life. Maddy’s coworkers at the hardware store, her trailer in the woods, the nearby casino and the Halloween festival are all inspired by my own personal experiences.
