New Release: The Doll Maker (A Weirdville Book)
After my previous publisher returned my rights to me for the Weirdville books, I have been busy re-editing and re-formatting the six books in the series.
The first book, The Doll Maker, is now available on Amazon again, with a brand new interior design that yours truly spent hours on.
Derek’s little sister wants one of those creepy-looking dolls, staring at him from the strange new doll shop in town, and what his sister wants, she gets. Now they’re stuck with a doll that looks so human, it gives Derek the creeps.
When Derek tells his friends, Martin and Jamie, about the new shop with creepy human-like dolls, they want to see for themselves. That has “bad idea” written all over it, but he takes his friends there anyway.
They meet the mysterious doll maker, who reminds Derek of Dr. Frankenstein, and who brainwashes Martin into buying one of those scary dolls. Derek and Jamie push and pull Martin out of the shop, but something isn’t right with their friend. He’s shivering all over, and he has no memory of what happened in the shop.
Martin’s condition worsens every day, and Derek’s sister grows more and more obsessed with her new doll. Derek and Jamie have to find out what’s going on, and fast, because…
…the doll maker seems linked to a bunch of mysterious disappearances, and the last thing Derek wants is his sister, or his friend, being next on the doll maker’s list.

The nitty-gritty:
I’ve been a storyteller all my life, building bridges into different worlds. Already in kindergarten, I’ve seen the most fantastical things and wanted to share them with everyone. My teacher called me a liar back then. Today, I call it the first real flash of my spiritual gift and the cornerstone of my writing career.
When I got older, I’ve had many visions of a perfect career, while writing has always been more of a hobby and kind of a therapy for me when the longing for more magic in this world once again caught up with me in a crushing way. When my first book was finished, I couldn’t even imagine sharing one of my stories with others, ever. In fact, I only got used to the idea while I wrote my second book and learned in a very miraculous way where the many stories in this world really come from.
It’s funny how, at that point, everyone told me I can’t possibly make a living with writing. They even warned me not to quit my job. But after my debut novella PLAY WITH ME came out and sales skyrocketed within the first week, I knew I could do anything I wanted if only I never stopped dreaming.
That’s also part of what I teach my students in writing and spiritual workshops today. Always dream big! If your dreams don’t scare you, they aren’t big enough.
Some personal stuff:
“I’m writing stories because I can’t breathe without.”
Disney is my attitude to life, and if I could I’d save the world from itself. My Patronus is a wolf, my wand the broken twig of an apple tree, 13 ¾ inches with a unicorn hair core. I can’t deny that on some days, I prefer my book characters over real people, but there’s not a single day going by where I wouldn’t try to find magic in reality. And when I’m alone, I love to listen to the many stories of the wind in a mystic mid-summer night.
So you see, I’m lucky enough to live in an enchanting world of my own. It’s peaceful there and full of magical things, fairies and wonders. You’re welcome to follow me there – if you’re ready to open up your mind and leave everything you learned about reality behind. But beware, if you dare to step through this door, you may never want to leave again…

TV Series Review: Sophie: A Murder in West Cork
True crime is hotter than hot nowadays, and it shows looking at the enormous amount of true crime limited series Netflix has released in the past year or so.
Sophie: A Murder in West Cork is one of the better series in this genre. Atmospheric and haunting, the limited series starts by introducing us to the victim. Sophie. A brilliant, vibrant young woman with an artistic side, who enjoyed being on her own in her holiday home in Cork, Ireland. Being a writer and enjoying solitude, especially the kind of complete and utter solitude that comes from living in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by nature – wild, unpredictable nature – it was easy for me to understand what Sophie was looking for when going to her holiday home on her own.
Unfortunately, on Sophie’s last trip to her holiday home, just before Christmas of 1996, she was brutally murdered at the once idyllic location. She was found the next day by her nextdoor neighbour who promptly alerted the Gardai, the local police.
The town would never be the same again.
The parts of the documentary that focus on Sophie provide a fascinating blend of emotions. On the one hand, they make it easy for us to connect to Sophie, and to see her as more than a murder victim. She was a mother. A spouse. A person with obviously a lot of depth and personality, who enjoyed the quietness of nature. On the other hand, some parts of the documentary are downright eerie: the mention of the specter Sophie witnessed hours before her death at Three Head Castle for example, sent chills down my spine. The description of the crime scene was horrifying in a raw, no-nonsense kind of way.
Those are the parts where the documentary is at its strongest: showing a horrific crime but also having respect for its victim.
Unfortunately, the narrative then switches and focuses mainly on the number one suspect, Ian Bailey. Ian Bailey was a local reporter at the time, and lived in the close vicinity of Sophie (as close as possible in this desolate area) with his then-partner, Jules Thomas. The police investigation soon pointed in the direction of Ian Bailey but despite arresting him twice, the Gardai were not able to make a firm case against him due to the evidence being mostly circumstancial.
While the investigation stalled in Ireland, in France the family of Sophie put pressure on the justice system until they were able to put the case before the Court of Assises, where the court then condemned Ian Bailey in absentia to a punishment of years in prison. However, the Irish courts have declined to extradite Ian Bailey thus far and the family is still struggling for justice for Sophie.
Ian Bailey never formally confessed to the crime, although some of the locals mentioned he confessed the matter to them (and they made statements in this regard to the police), and everyone should be considered innocent until guilty. Still, the Netflix documentary spends a lot of time focused on Ian. He participates in the documentary, providing commentary and answering questions, and he has more screen time than anyone else featured in the documentary, including the one person whom this should all be about: Sophie.
It is frustrating that the Netflix documentary seemingly follows the narrow path followed by the Gardai, one that inevitably leads directly to Ian Bailey without uncovering potential further avenues. Because if the majority of your evidence is based on a witness seeing Ian near the crime scene (but in the opposite direction of his home…) in the dead of night, with no idea if Sophie was already murdered or not by that timeframe, and said witness then later on retracts her statements, you have a flimsy case at best. Witness statements are notoriously unreliable even if there is no retraction of the statement, especially if the witness saw a person at night, did not know the identity of this person at first, and so on.
Crucial evidence such as a large gate went missing from the crime scene, and the investigation focused far too soon on Ian Bailey. That’s not to say he didn’t do it, and there are some damning elements against him, but I keep to the ancient saying of ‘innocent until proven guilty’.
While not a bad true crime documentary per se, it is rather unfortunate that the majority of screen time is focused on Ian Bailey – who clearly enjoys the spotlight, whether he has committed this crime or not – rather than focusing on the victim. Often times when dealing with murder, the victim seems to be forgotten; an after-thought, and this is unfortunate.
Some of the final words during the documentary came from Sophie’s son, who mentioned that his mother feels very present in the holiday home where she spent her final hours, which gave me chills because I believe him. Just looking at the house that she carefully picked out despite it being isolated, at the peculiar circumstances leading up to Sophie’s death, I can truly believe that his mother’s presence still lingers in that house, and I hope it gives him some comfort at least.

Movie Review: A Classic Horror Story
A Classic Horror Story is an Italian horror movie that borrows many elements from other mainstream horror movies and tries to twist and warp these elements to end up with an original plot and movie. Tries being the key word here, because A Classic Horror Story may be ambitious about its own set-up, but it ultimately lacks in nearly every area.
Five carpoolers get into an accident when a dead animal carcass shows up in the middle of the road during the dead of night. When they wake up, they find themselves in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by a dense forest and near a cabin that looks derelict and creepy. The cabin alleges to an ancient legend that is apparently well-known in Italy, relating to the three knights, three men who ages ago wrote a new code of ethics based on honor and silence – the basis for the most well-known maffia collaborations in Italy: the Cosa Nostra, ‘Ndrangheta and Camorra.
If the plot rings familiar, that’s because it is. Strangers stranded in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by a cult / family intent on killing them is the plot of basically every slasher/gore/horror movie since Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Sometimes you get a movie that goes beyond that, and does so in an extraordinary fashion, really turning the genre upside down, like The Cabin in the Woods.
Well, this is no The Cabin in the Woods.
The plot is a continuation of loose threads, none of them really leading anywhere. The majority of the characters are rather hateful individuals, and it’s impossible to feel a connection to them. Even the main character is a bland, one-dimensional character with as only meaningful trait the fact that she’s pregnant.
The twists are so predictable that you can already spot them early on – I will not give out spoilers here, but let’s just say it was fairly obvious who would betray who. Adding the maffia in the mix only served to add an extra layer of confusion: an attempt to be meta that ultimately failed. The social commentary at the end is simply ridiculous. Sure, I agree we live in a self-obsessed world where people are glued to their phones, but that scene would never occur in real life that way. Never.
Then, once the credits roll, we get another meta layer like a cherry added on top of an already overstuffed pie: someone is viewing a movie on ‘Bloodflix’, an obvious wink to ‘Netflix’, skips the majority of the movie and then gives a thumbs down. If the intention is to imply this person is watching a snuff movie, the costs of which were so high that people actually have to die, and still rates it a thumbs down because he doesn’t care,… well, it’s not entirely clear, and if that is the intention, it certainly doesn’t pack a punch.
If you’re looking for a movie that will make you shudder, A Classic Horror Story obviously isn’t it. The movie, for all its attempts, never enters into the scary-territory. It’s not even eerie or unsettling, just absurd, and it desperately tries to be something that it isn’t.

Movie Review: Fear Street Part 1: 1994
I grew up devouring R.L. Stine’s Fear Street novels, so naturally I had to watch Fear Street Part 1: 1994 the moment I found it on Netflix.
What’s unique about this movie is that it’s the first in a trilogy and all parts were released one week after the other. It is a daring move and one that can only work on a streaming platform. You wouldn’t find an audience willing to go to the movies three weeks in a row to devour three slasher movies, but you are more than likely to find a willing audience when releasing movies on Netflix in this format.
The strength of the movie lies in the fact that it’s a trilogy. Standing on its own, Fear Street Part 1: 1994 would be just another slasher movie in a long line of similar movies, about a teenager who suddenly goes berserk and starts randomly killing people for the sake of it. At least, that is how the movie starts out, with the killer in question donning a skeleton costume in a cloaked hommage to Scream, one of the most famous slasher movies of all times.
But Scream isn’t only the movie owed hommage to. A number of killers pass the revue in the history of Shadyside, some of them reminiscent of famous movie killers: think Jason, Freddy, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and so on.
What sets apart the movie from others in its genre, is its setting. The trilogy aspect allows the movie to do far more world-building than you would otherwise expect from a slasher movie. The setting of these eerie occurences is Shadyside, a town with a history filled with murder and mayhem, that sits right next to the pristine, crime-free town of Sunnyvale. The town’s history is an important aspect of the story, and on top of the good, old-fashioned slashing and hacking, we also get a supernatural background story that gives the movie an intriguing spin.
The actor’s performances are pretty good, in partiucilar of the title character Deena, played by Kiana Madeira. Where the movie is lacking a bit, is in the character development department. We get a cast of five main characters running about: Deena, her ex Sam, her two best friends and her brother. While we do get to explore Deena’s personality a little, we don’t know much about her friends or brother, except that the latter has an unhealthy obsession with Shadyside’s history which, lo and behold, may save everyone’s lives at the end of the day.
Or well, perhaps not everyone’s. This is a slasher movie after all. There’s guts, gore, and people die. Sometimes multiple times.
A solid first movie in a promising series, and a must-see for fans of the original Fear Street book series by horror master R.L. Stine.

Matilda is a Texas girl in love with a Philly boy who spends a lot of time in New York and Paris. Lucky me!
I live in Austin, with my husband, two crazy Chihuahuas and an even crazier cat. And I spend most of my day writing dirty romance books about older men who fall in love with younger women and make fools of themselves trying to win their hearts.
If I had to describe my type of romance, I’d say I write steamy, humorous contemporary romances dipped in sugar.
If you love Dark Romance, you’ve come to the wrong place. I don’t like dark heroes.
I like my hero to be successful, sweet, suave, sophisticated and kind— and then I want him to lose all his composure and game when he meets the heroine. I want him to turn into a bumbling idiot when he spots the girl of his dreams and revert to a teenage boy in a man’s body trying to win her.
I like my heroines to be witty, intelligent, and unshakeable—who could do just as well without a man—until the hero convinces her otherwise.
I write A LOT OF AGE GAP–because I LOVE AGE GAP ROMANCE. I’ve got no other excuse for it.
No matter what kind of story it is, my ladies are ADORED, and my endings are always Happily EVER AFTER, not HFN.

Author Interview Lost on a Page
Author InterviewWhat inspired you to start a writing career?
My first serious writing was in college. I was involved in the local community theatre. I regularly participated in their Shakespeare in the Park productions. I wanted to put on some of my own productions, so I started writing scripts. We had a lot of success with some of my original shows, and writing has just been a major part of my life since. Since then, I have published several short stories in various anthologies. Lost on a Page is my first novel.
Is this book stand-alone, or part of a series?
I wrote Lost on a Page as a stand-alone, but I left it open-ended in case I wanted any sequels. It turns out, I did! So, now it’s a series. I am happy to report book 2 is well underway.
How does your book stand out from others?
Lost on a Page is a loving homage to genre fiction. I am an avid reader, and I have too many favorite genres to count. Sometimes when I read a mystery novel, I wonder how characters from a recent sci-fi novel would interact in a scene. Or what would happen if I dropped a hardboiled detective into a period romance? The idea of a comedy adventure romp in which archetypal genres get thrown together in a glorious train wreck of mishaps was something I just felt the world needed.
Are any of the situations/characters in your book inspired by real events?
They couldn’t be more fictional. Though, I did draw from the classic hero’s journey popularized by the works of Joseph Campbell. If fictional characters really could travel to the World Where The Books Are Written to murder their authors, I might not be here today.
Do you have any advice for aspiring authors?
My advice would be to set goals but be careful how you measure success. I have done my best writing when I focus on enjoying the craft. Always looking ahead to the next achievement for validation tends to leave you feeling not good enough. My favorite authors all talk about struggling with imposter syndrome. If their major success doesn’t dispel feelings of inadequacy, then what will? I just don’t worry about it anymore.
I set my own goals, and I celebrate when I achieve them. I love the writing, so that’s what I focus on. If I had no aspirations to ever publish, I would still write. So, I get to decide when I have achieved what I set out to do. Nobody else.
But you should also know that publication is not impossible. Keep trying. Keep improving. Learn from your mistakes. Don’t take criticism as a rejection, but use it as a chance to learn. If you are persistent and willing to grow in your craft, you can take your writing to new places. And be sure to celebrate the small victories along the way.

Board Game Review: Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: Case 6: The Mummy’s Curse
Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective is a solo or co-op board game that is ideally played by 1-4 players. It takes place in Victorian London (the 1880s-1890s) and you are trying to solve mysteries alongside Sherlock Holmes and his faithful companion, Dr. Watson. The goal is supposedly to beat Holmes – solve the mystery with fewer clues than he does – but the real fun is if you follow all the clues, and get a picture of the entire mystery, including the parts Holmes doesn’t touch upon.
I previously reviewed the first five cases in this collection: The Munitions Magnate, The Tin Soldier, The Mystified Murderess, The Lionized Lions and The Cryptic Corpse.
The sixth case is called The Mummy’s Curse.
What I liked about this case was, of course, the reference to mummies. Victorian England was mesmerized by the archeological digs occurring in Egypt, where sarcophagus after sarcophagus was uncovered. Several mummies were transported to the British Museum, where the Londoners could gawk at them, and some wealthy Londoners even had mummies in their own homes! How ghastly and how perfectly Victorian.
Either way, this case opens with the murder of not one, not two, but three archeologists involved in the investigation of the final resting place of Katabet. Most of the initial information comes from The Times, where we are directed to by Dr. Watson, who is more than a little annoyed that The Times is talking about a presumed Mummy’s Curse – as if such a preposterous thing could exist! In order to set the record straight, Dr. Watson wants us to uncover the identity of the murderer.
Although I instantly liked the theme and loved following the clues in this case, unfortunately in the end, the case was a tad disappointing. It made a great start: murder on a ship, so the culprit certainly has to be on board of the ship. Starting from there, it was a matter of crossing off potential candidates from the list. But then came the big reveal and… Holmes’ culprit wasn’t the one we had in mind.
Don’t read on if you don’t want any spoilers for this case. I repeat: don’t continue if you want to avoid spoilers.
All right, spoiler time. The murderer indicated by Holmes has zero motive. Fine, maybe he has a flimsy motive, but it’s so flimsy you could blow it away. Based on Holmes’ version of events, there is more than one murderer, and I had only pecked the last murderer as the culprit – and this for all three crimes. Because if murderer number one is involved, why is there a bowl of ashes next to victim two, a fact pointed out in detail during the investigation? What does this have to do with anything? Plus, murderer number two is clearly unhinged; he has the physical strength to commit the murders. And why does Holmes rely on a newspaper article written by the culprit himself – that’s a lot of faith to have in a murderer…
Anyway, after investigating online, I discovered that in the original version of this game, there is only one murderer: the one we had chosen. The bowl of ashes actually makes sense here, and the motive is much clearer. I understand trying to change the narrative to make the case more challenging, but this should be done in a consistent way: a clearer motive should have been established for murderer numbero uno, and the bowl should not have received that much attention in relation to victim two.
Still, this remains one of my favorite cases in the collection because of its subject matter, and we had great fun trying to solve the mystery.
If you like Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective, then I recommend…A Study in Shifters (The Adventures of Marisol Holmes Book 1)
“The game is afoot.”
Seventeen-year-old Marisol Holmes wants to live up to the family legacy; after all, she is the great-great-great granddaughter of Sherlock Holmes. What’s more Holmesian than a grisly murder? The Conclave, an underground organization of detectives solving supernatural cases, is giving her just one chance to catch a killer and join them. After all, as a half-blood jaguar shifter, Marisol is uniquely qualified to solve this murder—since every scrap of evidence points toward the culprit being a fellow jaguar shifter.
“There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.”
There’s more to this than just evidence. Is one of her own people really involved, or is this all a ploy to kick Marisol’s mother off the shifter throne?
When Marisol discovers her handsome best friend, Roan, is missing, she realizes Roan may be the killer’s next target. The stakes just got higher than political intrigue.
“When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”
Just when things couldn’t get worse, Marisol’s ex-boyfriend-turned-nemesis, Mannix, starts leaving sinister clues for her. In her last case, Mannix broke her heart and ruined her case, and Marisol isn’t sure which is worse. Marisol fears this case too might be far more personal than she could’ve imagined.
“Elementary.”
It’s time for Marisol to prove her worth, or her people could fall into chaos while her best friend loses his life.
This book is perfect for fans of: shapeshifters, steampunk, paranormal, high school drama, teen romance, Sherlock Holmes and deadly intrigue.
