Serena Mossgraves

Today’s Author Spotlight is the talented Serena Mossgraves.

Serena

She is one of our darker authors, specializing in weaving horror and dark fantasy short stories and novels that will have you cowering under your covers at night.

She’s been writing for approximately four years and does so because she has ‘an urge to scare” and wants to “explore the darker side of human nature.” She chose to be an Indie Author because she doesn’t like being told she can’t do something, so she pushes herself to proves others wrong.

When asked if she has hobbies she told us this: “Yes. I enjoy crawling around on the interwebs looking for spiders to pet. I enjoy listening to creepy videos and horror memes. I enjoy chemical experimentation.”

She lives in the deepest reaches of the demonweb pits and when asked about family or pets, she said ‘Does the ghost chained in my attic count?”

As for dealing with any kind of writer’s block, she said “Just beat it with a hammer!”

She is published (look for her books here: Amazon ) and she has a website, which you can find here: Serena

I hope you all enjoyed learning about Miss Mossgraves and that you will check out her stories if dark and spooky is your thing!

Tune in tomorrow for our Creative Spotlight, and come back on Friday to read about our resident cat lady, Tish MacWebber!

 

Author Spotlight Cyndi Pilcher

Today we bring you our own Cyndi Pilcher. A wonderful writer good at telling tales of fantasy for the young and the young at heart.

She writes cute children’s books, and adventure filled young adult stories. Her blog, Redbird’s Storytime is a fun place where she shares updates and stories about her faeries.

She credits her eighth grade teacher Mr. January with her love of writing. She said that she chose to be an Indie author because of the control it grants her. She has quite a lot of experience writing, over 35 years worth! We look forward to reading all of the stories that she has to tell!

Artist Spotlight : Roni S. Healan

From painted rocks to canvases, this lady does some amazing art. She credits the Art Sherpa for inspiring her.

Her journey has been a difficult one. From an abusive relationship, and an illness that she was wondering if it was poison to being alone and struggling to get on her feet. Roni is a strong survivor who has so much talent.

Her creative nature shows up in the wonderful paintings she does. She said that the paintings that are pictured here are all for sale.

She is on Facebook where she hosts an art group. It’s a wonderful group of like minded souls.

She said that she has been suffering from a creative block while she was so ill. And that here lately the need to return to painting has returned. Personally, I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.

If you are interested in buying any of her art email her here.

Mike Guzman

Welcome to today’s Author Spotlight, Mike Guzman! He has been writing fantasy and sci-fi off and on since high school and writes mostly short stories and is working on his first novel.

He told us that his love for fantasy/sci-fi and his friends that are Indie Authors is what has inspired him to write.

When he is not writing and working, he loves to play video games, tabletop games, reads anime/manga and comics, loves to watch fantasy and sci-fi movies, and of course loves to read.

When asked about if he gets writer’s block and how he deals with it, he responded with “Who doesnt? Sometimes I have to wait it out until something just hits me.”

He does not have a website yet and he lives in NC with his wife and their kitty Boots.

Deedra Nichole

Hey everyone! Sorry for the lateness but sickness and migraines are running amok. On to our Creative Spotlight!

Meet Deedra Nichole. She is a multi-talented creative. She paints, does photography, digital art, sews, and crotchets. She told us she was born a creative and that her mom taught her art.

She told us that she became an Indie Artist because she wanted to leave a piece of her behind for others and she loves the ease and control she has creating her work. When dealing with any kind of creative block, she told us she either takes a nap or takes a break from the work and comes back to it later with a fresh mind.

In her free time she crochets, knits, does watercolor artwork and draws. She lives in Kentucky and will be, with her two beautiful daughters, combining their family with her soon-to-be husband and his three children.

When asked why he was an Indie author, he told us that he tried the traditional route twice before. The first time the publisher didn’t pay him, and the second failed to promote the books as promised. So he said that he was going indie because the writing was the most important part.

DW Storer is an amazing author. Go show him some love!

 

Announcing Under the Mists

Creative Spotlight : Sacred Crow Studios

Sacred Crow Studios has gone through a few changes in the past. Owned by Redbird Stormcrow, the studio focuses on photography and art.

The studio is located on the coast of North Carolina in the USA. So she often has some amazing nature pictures.

When asked why she is an Indie Artist, Redbird answered that it allowed her the most creative control of her work.

She has a definite eye for the shots. She lives with her husband of 19 years and their pet tabby. They have two grown children, an adopted daughter, and several grandchildren.

When creativity is blocked, Redbird steps away from the work. She says that she doesn’t force it, as that would create negative energy and she would prefer not to infect the art with that.

We are so glad to have Sacred Crow Studios in our creative Spotlight! Go show them some love! ❤️

Art exposure

These are all art done by our own Pattimouse. She usually posts it on her blog or on Patreon.

Desiree Jensen

Welcome to today’s Author Spotlight! Today we have Desiree Jensen, or Des as her friends and colleagues call her. She has been writing urban fantasy, pulp horror & slam poetry under the name of D. Gabrielle Jensen for 15 years but has been writing in general for 35 years. She started writing ‘because she just did. It was in her blood’.

When asked why she became an indie author, she explained that it is because she wants “the freedom to be the final decision on my work and to be able to work according to my own timelines, not someone else’s.”

She has a website for anyone that is interested in checking her work out (and you really should!): D. Gabrielle Jensen .

She resides in Colorado, USA where she lives with two cats – a teen mom and her kid, who are now 11 and 10 years old and enjoys many hobbies when she is not busy writing: music, concerts, crochet, jewelry making, graphic design/merchandise design.

We asked her if she gets writer’s block. She answered, “I do. It depends on how bad it is. If I can make words, I try to just push through it. If I can’t, if I find myself staring at a blank page for too long, I try something else. Something creative, go for a walk, work in the garden to reconnect my soul to the Earth.”

We were so happy that Ms. Jensen filled out our questionnaire! It’s so nice to find out about other Indie Authors. We hope you all enjoyed reading about her and that you go check out her website and show her some love.
