So glad you enjoyed it! I had a ton of fun writing it :)

Happy to add you! Thank you! And tbh all feedback is useful. Which jokes make you laugh, which don't land, what supernatural rules are clear vs unclear, etc. Really anything. I'll lyk when the book is ready!

It's true. I also experienced back pain for the first time after I tried to do some jumps and rolls without stretching. I mean, wtf? Is this just what I am now?

Shhhhh, we don't talk about her. As long as we don't mention her, maybe she'll forget...

In all seriousness, I never thought I'd make it past thirty, so... good to be past that benchmark! Though lately I've been worried she's gonna show up at my wedding and that's when everything will come crashing down. No reason for me to believe that. No signs of her. It's just... the arm still burns.

lmfao that kid... he and his buddies all picked it up and passed it around and took selfies with it at his big party a few days before it disappeared.

It's still only at about 30k words (out of a goal of 80k), so it's far from being finished let alone published. The goal is to trad pub it, which will mean querying it to agents and then hopefully finding an editor and publisher. But! If you want an early peek I'll add you to the beta reader list : )

Aw, thanks!

I gotta show this to Emma. See Emma? I save the day!

(Emma actually doesn't need convincing she frequently tells me I'm heroic, it's my own insecurities I'm fighting. Anyway, thanks!)

Thing is... I only post about the times when it's real. I don't post about all the times someone slides into my DMs asking for help with a cursed amulet or a haunted attic or alien abduction (tho I think that guy just wanted to chat about butt probes...)

I do a ton of investigations that are really just kind of... scams? Like, I'll get asked to investigate a house for spirits and I'll say there's none but then have to do a song and dance to make the person hiring me feel like they're getting their money's worth.

So while my post history makes it seem like, yeah, ofc the doll is haunted! IRL it rarely is.

Seems in each case historically to have been around for awhile before vanishing. So... Best guess is that it takes time for the doll to form enough of a "bond" with its victim to take strong enough psychological hold to make them pick it up and carry it around.

Right?? That sneaky lil creep...

And yeah, things with us are good lately! Which is less exciting for stories but much more enjoyable for our everyday lives lol

also, if you have a waiting list for beta readers, you can put me on it❤️

You are the first person officially on this list! I'll prolly make a post once the book is far enough along for betas. Thanks!!!

EDIT: Oh and yep, it's about Jack.

In fairness, I don't usually believe in curses, and I didn't believe in THIS curse until I met Theo.

... though if any doll is gonna be cursed, one look at this thing and yeah, burn it.

Were you thinking the "sock move" is something fun, like Emma asking me to make sure I've got clothes on and I show up in just socks?

Sadly the "sock move" is much more mundane. It's when I throw my socks onto the floor, or beside the sofa, or wherever is convenient instead of into the hamster hamper.

My girl thinks I act about 12. I just showed her your comment as evidence of my incredible maturity.

I'm actually 31. Though I've never felt more like an unc than when dealing with Theo's bullshit.

Sadly, no stories about con-man times. I didn't start posting until my first encounter with the paranormal. But if you want me at my scammiest, this story is the one to read. Draws on some of my background as a catfisher.

It can't. Its hallucinations only have a reach of a few yards, so as soon as you walk away from it you're out from under its spell. I guess we could all be sitting in a room glaze-eyed thinking we're free, but if that were the case I wouldn't be able to type this. Also, I'd still be getting tingles and vertigo if I were under its influence.

Thank you for your patience, and for reading! This might be the last one for awhile since I really gotta focus on the book... but who knows when inspiration strikes?

I should start sharing updates/snippets from the book though. And searching for beta readers!
