Word Tonic Anthology Horror edition

The Word Tonic Anthology for November is here! My story "Girl, Corrupted" is featured in the release, obvi.

I really wanted to channel my biggest fears with this story, get into the mind of the perpetrator, and then reverse the scenario on the villain for a cathartic release. I love it when the victim becomes the monster. No wonder I love Jennifer's body.

When I started writing it I new I wanted it to be a revenge story. I wanted a sick, evil-hearted person at the receiving end of female rage. My editor, Benjamin Smith, really helped me create a more demented feeling with the narrative. That's the best part about working with a community! Iron sharpens iron.

2024 Black In White poetry contest winner!! 🏆

I wanted to evoke the emotion I felt when I experienced prejudice for the first time. I wanted to mimic the shock and lasting self-loathing the event imparted on me.

I received the 2nd place prize in the childhood category and my poem "My Skin is Made of Earth" was published in "The girl from Niue" by Charlotte Shyllon.

Animal Crossing New Horizons Spec Work letters

Scrub Daddy

I was inspired by Word Tonic's challenge for non members to create a billboard for the company Scrub Daddy. I also drew inspiration from the Scrub Daddy Instagram account and set out to make something equally unhinged...
