The Ideas Behind the Stories

woman reading frankie's stories while flames erupt around her

I enjoy writing stories with grit, that make us ask questions or that shake our assumptions.

The easiest one was with Whiskey Witches and the assumption that angels are good. Angels were never good until fiction made them so. Before that, they were a-holes.

But there was an assumption that demons are evil, and I wanted to challenge that too. Because why? Why were they evil?

To control us. Not demons. The Church and men in power.

I love asking those questions and then feeling around them.

What does power really cost and why don’t we reach for it?

When does loyalty become dangerous and why don’t we let it go when it no longer serves us?

Who decides who we’re allowed to become and why don’t we fight to be who we want to be?

And I do all of that in fantasy and sci-fi landscapes because—come on. Those locations are fun!

Be the first to read these as I write them in Story Explorers.

    • I could spend hours in Storyland. Thank you for sharing this with us. It took me a little bit to get used to the app, but now I'm on it every day. There's so much stuff here!

    • If you enjoy paranormal with a lot of action and intrigue, dotted with comedy, and a bit of angst on occasion then this is a series you do not want to pass up.

    Would you protect your sister… even if she lied to you? Even if she summoned a demon. Even if people got hurt. Even if the truth shattered everything. Family isn’t always soft. Sometimes it’s loyalty. Sometimes it’s guilt.
    I found it. The first major contender of 2026. Lords of Dating Crimes by Tiffany Hunt. I am shouting. I might be. I don’t care. This book lives in the space where worldbuilding meets actual craft. Where characters breathe instead of
    You close the last page. But the story keeps living: just under your skin. There are chapters you haven't seen, truths tucked in the margins. The moments cut away, the choice before the spell, the shadow behind a name. Story Explorers is the doorw
    Sometimes, the things we can't say at the table find their way into the world anyway. My stories are built on tension: the kind that cracks through families, shakes cities, splits the air. I write to understand if lines like "civil war" or
    Some secrets don’t belong in the daylight. Inside the Story Explorers Club, the Para Files wait. Tucked in shadow, wrapped in quiet defiance: each file a threshold. Subject #299, who bends the room with a single word. Subject #01, forged on WW
    The world moves outside. Inside, the dust glows. Every week, new pages arrive. Unfinished. Breathing. The ink is still drying on Chapters 20-23 of Where the Dust Still Glows. You read as I write. The story is alive here, shifting under your feet.
    Some doors only open once. The quiet spaces between pages, filled with memory, motive, aftermath: left behind as the story races forward. But not here. In The ParaFiles, you find what others missed: the scenes that never made the world: yet haunt it
    Some stories demand time. Some worlds ask you to linger. What's the longest book series you've ever committed to? Did you finish the journey...or are you still waiting for the final word? (The Whiskey-Verse is 15+ books and counting. If you&rsquo
    Power is a storm: called down, held in trembling hands. Some days, you name it. You wear it loud, a blade in morning sunlight. Some days, it feels like exile: a new silence where laughter used to echo. We ask for partnership. Sometimes, we get a ro
    There is something sacred in learning when to say fuck it. I spent years being careful. Tied my stories in knots to appease the polite air. Lost the sharp ache of truth under soft blankets of niceness and fear. Menopause didn’t ask. It unthre
    I aced my journeyman's exam. I got a pay cut. I brought my daughters to work. I got yelled at. I succeeded. I got punished. So now that I'm trying to leave construction and build a business around my writing? The terror is real. But I'm done givi
    With what I'm working on right now, I'd choose a Whisper Fox (Memory-Tuned Familiar). It shows up at the edge of things: dusk, storms, those late hours when the world goes quiet. This magical pet senses what’s true and what’s just a stor
    We search for magic. For safety. For people who will stand in the storm with us, hands clasped and eyes steady. Witch fiction isn't just about spellwork. It's about building circles of trust, finding the sisters who lean in when the night grows cold
    There is always a choice. Phoenix for warmth, Kitsune for nine chances, Storm Hound for wild energy. Dream Sprite for peace. Cloud Otter for knowing when to rest. If you could have one beside you: who would you claim as your familiar? Would you ch
    Some memories want to stay in the dark. Some try to build walls from old thunder. But there are moments: a laugh, a kindness, a promise unbroken: that want to become bridges. Light crossing the chasm. You can choose which ones you tuck into the bu
