WitchNet: Coming Soon!
It’s done! All the words in WitchNet have been written. The last stage before I release it is typesetting, where I’ll take all of those words and make sure they’re readable on your phone. I don’t have much experience with typesetting, so this stage might take me some time. In the meantime, here’s a sneak…

WitchNet: A Work In Progress
Hey Starlings! I’ve been working on a novella for a couple of months now and it’s getting close to release! You could say it’s the reason I started this site. It’s called WitchNet, it heavily features witches and gender, and I hope you give it a read once it’s published. In the meantime, please enjoy…
