Im looking forward to being more mindful of the seasons, to enjoy the month I'm in rather than wishing the time away. I've treated myself to some Almanacs and a new witchy book. Here's to a slow year, full of resting, planting, and living πŸ–€ #fantasyindiesjanuary @ChesneyInfalt

β€œGo swallow your sins, Mistress Yarrow. Leave me to choke on my own.” I feel that i could choose so many lines from The Bone Drenched Woods, it really is my strongest book so far. But this one sums up the tone perfectly. πŸ–€#fantasyindiesnovember @ChesneyInfalt

Ive been writing since I was at school, lots of bad poetry and half finished novels. My first book Darling,there are wolves in the woods took me about ten years to write, and I've recently relaunched the series πŸ–€ #fantasyindiesnovember @ChesneyInfalt
