I got back into writing short fiction in a concerted way in 2024, so for 2025 I gave myself the goal of writing a novel--something I'd never tried before. And I did it; I have now written a novel! And, as you can see from the word count, it's not even a short novel.
I'll have more to say about the process and how I crossed the finish line in a post or two to come at a later date. I've set my book aside for a bit, to give it (and myself) a rest. Then the revision process will begin.

| Printed out, double-sided, the draft is thick |
A melancholy grave robber and her cheerful automaton friend get involved in the mystery of a missing corpse and an equally missing book of poetry. As they investigate, they cross paths with a black metal bard out to kill an angel and a famous monster hunter who is in love with a beautiful, but deeply evil, witch.
It's got Slavic monsters, nunsploitation, a first date at an absinthe bar, a fetishistic death cult obsessed with red-haired women...and a whole lot more.
I'll definitely let everyone know when it's available to read.
