This looks like an entrance from the faerie realm. Does it inspire you? Write a poem about it and send it to us. We will feature it on our social media. Write a story and we may use it in Through the Sunshine – our upcoming anthology. Deadline was extended til Feb 14th at midnight!
Enjoy coming up with something and let us see what you got!
Happy Writing!
Yesterday, we did a book announcement for a indie author. She is not one of the authors that works for us, but we promote all Indies! Today, we thought that you would want to meet the author.
Cait Marie is a Coffee House Writer who also is one of the ones running Functionally Fictional. She has her own blog. The book we told you about is the first of a series of YA books she is publishing.
We asked her how long she has been creative. She responded “I started writing in 2015, but I’ve been creative in other ways (mostly art) my whole life.”
She is one that also supports Indie authors on her Functionally Fiction blog. It features new books and book reviews. It’s fairly awesome.
We asked her how she deals with writer’s block… To be told that she doesn’t really suffer from writer’s block per se. It’s more that she has some days that she just can’t/don’t want to write. She is working on more consistent writing habits. For example, she is trying to write for an hour at least four days a week. Shek joined a group that does writing sprints four nights a week, which is helping a lot.
She has two cats… Koda and Azriel. They are obnoxious, but She loves them. We would love to see them. 👀👀
When asked what she does with her time… “Most of my time goes to reading and writing, but I also love creating spreads in my bullet journal, painting, listening to music, going to concerts, and watching movies and TV.” That sounds like a lot of creativity to us.
We also asked about what got her writing. “I started writing one day partially out of boredom and partially because a book I read didn’t go exactly how I wanted it to. I decided to write my own book so I could include anything I wanted, but I had no idea at the time that I would end up here. I only wrote academically before that and hated it. However, I have always loved reading. My love of books is really what got me where I am today. It’s why I started Functionally Fictional, which led to me becoming involved in the book community.” We are glad she did.

Hey all, Cyndi here with some awesome news! With the new year starting, Patti and I have put our heads together and decided to expand Fae Corps. We will no longer be Fae Corps Publishing but Fae Corps Inc! We will have two ‘arms’ of the company – Fae Corps Publishing, which will stay right here were we’ve been, AND Fae Corps Studios, which is where we will have a separate website.
FCP will continue with publishing and showcasing authors and aritsts. FCS will be where Patti and I showcase and sell our various arts and crafts. Once we have that set up and ready to go, we will post the link, but it will take a while as we have the amazing upcoming release party and release day of Faery Footprints!
SO! Make sure you are following this blog so you can keep up to date with all the new things that will be happening this year!
We also would like to thank each and every person that has supported us and helped us get to where we are! We never dreamed we would be noticed this much and as busy! So thank you thank you thank you!!
Much love,
Cyn and Patti
