💬Ask Me Anything: Step Into My Worlds of Mystery, Horror, and Truth

 

Hi, I’m Makitia Thompson 👋 and I’m opening the floor to you. This is your chance to ask me anything about my books, my characters, my writing process, or even the emotional themes that run through my work.

To help spark ideas, I’ve broken this AMA into sections highlighting my series, collections, and stories. Each section has a short description (and a link if you’d like to explore more). Ask away!

⏳ Where Time Can’t Exist Series

Memory, grief, and the horrors we inherit.

When filmmaker Rebecca “Beck” Escarra stumbles into the forgotten town of Burrington, she finds a place frozen in 1827; haunted by tragedy, illusions, and ghosts that won’t let go. As Beck unravels its mysteries, the town becomes a mirror of her own buried fears.
