@Janine Eaby, thank you! I always try to like/heart your stuff and give an encouraging comment. I am proud you are stepping out with your promotion and signings. As much as your fiction content, how you promote and interact also has a positive effect on others—people like me! I have five more school days left. Then I have lists to do: school training, vacations, honey-dos, yard maintenance, Substack reading (you and Travis and more of S.L. Stallings to start), formatting these ghosts tales into a fall release, getting back to drafting the current book project, and then simmering on a Substack serial project for Jan 2026
These ghost tales are being released—mostly—in reverse chronological order. The older stuff will come out on the full moon and I’m re-releasing two newer tales on new moons the next few months that were originally put up on Kindle Vella before they shut it down. (It’s why I came to Substack. Had to find a new platform that was GROWING and not tanking).
I hadn’t re-read this tale in years. So, when I did my editor’s marks, I still didn’t really re-read it. So, when I gave it really good re-read this morning, to my surprise there were a couple of things I would have edited into less harsher stuff (since I wrote this at the beginning of rededicating myself to my walk with the Lord).
Most of my stuff is based off real people and places I have known or heard about and can visualize well. No matter what I write, it starts with a hard dose of reality before zigging, zagging, and zogging.
The last two tales which will be posted will be longer. One is a story about Shakespeare being haunted while trying to stage Hamlet for the first time and the thirteenth (my favorite number) will be my very first ghost tale that I ever wrote.
Ooh I like the premise of the Shakespeare haunting. I'm currently trying to get back to writing my third book while writing this serial fiction but for some reason my dystopian fiction is easier to write than my ¾ done fantasy novel.
Could be because it’s the NEWER project trying to “supplant” the “elder” twin by grabbing onto the ankle. Good to see you’re dipping your toes into serial Substacking!
@Janine Eaby, thank you for the like!
I love reading your stuff (and I try to like as many posts as I can to encourage others).
