I also share some short stories and previews on occasion on my doll channel, Kreepy Kitty Creations on YouTube if you enjoy craft videos as well (making dolls of my characters is my reward for finishing a book.)
Mary's Calling
Never leave her alone.
Mayu, a lonely little girl in Meiji-era Japan, is given a beautiful doll for her sixth birthday.
Porcelain face, western-style dress with frills, a pearl necklace that shines like a string of tiny stars. And a wind-up crank to make her talk:
“Mary, Mary, quite contrary, How does your garden grow?
With silver bells, and cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row…”
But Mayu and her mother, Hiroe, soon discover that Mary has a mind all her own—and she is not afraid to use it to get what she wants.
The Calling: Hidden Souls
A supernatural gothic horror
Knock, and the door will open.
It's 1960s Ireland and Kathleen Murphy longs to fit in, to be like everybody else. To be rid of the nightmares, the vision, and of her. The one who stalks her, unrelenting.
The Blood Nun.
Just when she thinks she's gone mad, the vision of a nun crying tears of blood leads Kathleen to her new life at The Sisters of Divine Grace and Retribution convent as Sister Katherine, a novitiate nun. The nun disappears and her nights no longer plagued by nightmares, she things her past is well behind her.
From the moment she arrives, something feels wrong.
Phantom smells of bleach and damp soil, a mouldering teddy bear that just won't leave her alone, and secretive Sisters who refuse to let her clean up the back garden even in her own free time. With the return of the Blood Nun and visions worse than ever, Sister Katherine is led on a merry chase of discovery.
Has God, in His all-knowing wisdom, called her to the one place she could truly belong? Or has her mind snapped, sending her into the downward spiral of madness?
