Stories that are spellbinding and seductively lovely.
Blog
Welcome to my blog! Unlike most of the other blogs you may have encountered, this one isn’t generally about me at all. I absolutely love cryptids, diverse cultures, and folk lore, which is why you’ll find so much of it in my books. However, I also know that most people don’t spend hours scouring the internet for information on different kinds of swamp monsters. That’s why I try to put extra information about monsters and countries that feature in my books here.
There’s a search bar for your convenience, but if you’re as curious about the world as I am, there’s no harm in just scrolling through all the entries.
One last note- if you’re a monster lover like me and have a beastie you really want to see in my stories, shoot me an email. There’s a contact form at the bottom of the page!

The Girl and the Woodcutter
Okay, so this is, by far, one of my favorite Korean folktales. First of all, I found it in a book of Korean folktales for children that I teach in my Korean classes. But…
