Season’s Greetings, dearly chaotic friends!
May your eggnog be strong, your evenings mysterious, and your holidays delightfully murder-free (unlike mine because I always find an opportunity to end fictitious Victorians).
I nearly finished the next evolution of my creative circus to integrate cinematic storytelling into my website and bundle my chaotic tech stack into one snuggly hub (hug?) for all of us. You are already sitting (or reading) in it! If you have a paid membership, you have access to all paywalled content.
What's New?
Starting in January, you’ll see more cinematic storytelling like this fog-drenched Victorian labyrinth:

More immersive formats of storytelling will be front and centre in 2025.
The Tech Burrito
As I mentioned above, I rolled my chaotic tech stack (that's the bookstore, newsletter, blog, ebook delivery service, Patreon, etc) into one snuggly tech burrito. You are one of the first members I migrated here, which means you need only one login to read my updates and stories, comment, like, interact with other members, take quizzes, vote, and more.
Here's a quick overview of the goodies I brought with me:

Member Shout Out:
A big THANK YOU to Joe, who gifted me with gold leaf and professional gilding glue for my art projects. I'll show you all what I'm making with it for The Memory Collector in one of my next posts.
Holiday Giveaway Number One:
Grab your December collection of free books:
Holiday Giveaway Number Two (the big one):
Because you are awesome and we are celebrating on the 24th, I'm giving away 24 complimentary backstage passes that allow you access to exclusive content, such as my newest stories as I write them (yes, also in the pretty cinematic format), and download my latest book Peregrine and two short stories.
You can enter by commenting below with your best imitation of Victorian gutter language. Pretend that Grim (who is Beatrice's extraordinarily rude side-kick and will show up in chapter 6 of The Memory Collector) has just thrown this at you:
"You’ve got all the charm of a dead pigeon in a rain barrel.”
I wish you a lovely Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Winter Solstice, Bodhi, Ōmisoka and New Year!
Annelie
