So hi! The name is Foyle! Or you can call me D.M. or Dez if you prefer, doesn't really matter to me lol.
As far as writing goes- I've been doing this for a hot minute (sent my first query letter at 15 f'in years old what pluck i had as a child lol), and among my works I can include:
A high fantasy novel
An Urban Fantasy YA Novel Based on Them Thar Greek Gods
And a few other Urban Fantasy Style Novels (because they are fun sue me)
However, more recently I've stepped into a space where sci-fi, hacking, technology, and crime/psychological-thriller all intersect.
Shoot me a note if you want to be on my tag list 🫡
And dont forget to take a look at my published works and other places to follow me below the cut!
Tangled Wires: Secrets that Bind (STATUS UPDATE: POOblished-- Date 1/11/25!!!!!!!)
Raz knows two things, computers - and that people can't be trusted. However on the run, and with the head of the Russian mob seeking to put her back in a cage Raz must quickly decide if Emet Shultz of the FBI can be trusted, and if he can help her unlock the treacherous secrets of her past. As the past reveals itself, one thing becomes clear- nothing is as it seems, and sometimes lies are easier to stomach than the truth.
Tangled Wires: Threads of Deception (STATUS - TO BE PUBLISHED 3/11/27, PRE ORDERS AVAILABLE)
Four months.
It had only taken four months, and one persistently annoying FBI agent to completely turn Raz's world upside down.
And now- with the secret of her missing memory finally unraveled, and the events of last year behind her, she should be moving forward.
But with Kit still missing- and the time to save her rapidly diminishing, will the attempt to save her force Raz back into the same tangled web of lies and deceit that she had spent her whole life trying to escape?
In a world where trust is a liability, can Raz believe that the people around her are who they say they are? Or will the forces conspiring against her leave her trapped between two inevitable, but impossible choices.

If you're writing anything involving cons, scams, heists, or morally questionable characters who are very good at lying, here are some free resources I've been using for research. Saving you the "why is this in my search history" anxiety.
1. The FBI's Famous Cases & Criminals archive (fbi.gov/history/famous-cases) has detailed breakdowns of real fraud cases, Ponzi schemes, and confidence operations. The language they use is clinical and precise, which is perfect for getting the procedural details right.
2. The FTC Consumer Sentinel Network publishes annual reports on the most common fraud tactics in the US. Great for understanding how modern scams actually work and what makes people fall for them.
3. The Smithsonian's American Art Museum has a free digital collection of forgery case studies. If your character forges documents or art, this is gold.
4. Court Listener (courtlistener.com) is a free legal database where you can read actual court transcripts from fraud trials. Want to know how a real con artist talks under oath? This is where you find out.
5. The Internet Archive's collection of old newspaper crime sections. Search for "confidence man" or "swindle" in papers from the 1920s through 1960s and you'll find incredible real stories that would feel too dramatic for fiction.
Bonus: The Psychology of Fraud section on the Association for Psychological Science website has accessible articles about why people trust, how deception works cognitively, and what makes someone a convincing liar. Essential reading if you want your con artist characters to feel psychologically real.
Reblog to save for later. Your WIP will thank you.
It is remarkable how people react when you tell them you dont want to celebrate your birthday.
Like im sorry m8, I dont know what to tell you but I ain't got the energy for revelry anymore. Im struggling just trying to get my gosh darned got pocket in the gert dern mercerwave.
i think as a writer, the older you get and the more you read, the more you realize there are very few actual truly bad ideas. which is a relief. but! the other thing you learn is that stories live and die on the execution and ha ha. lemme tell you. unfortunately. there are lots and lots of bad ways to execute an otherwise fine idea

Sometimes, even the fearsome god of war can have something that he fears. When his time in imprisonment comes back to haunt him, Athena migh
Time for my insatiable urge to torment Ares to come back. (And JUST in time for me to write the next chapter of War Siblings book 2 tonight! HOW ABOUT THAT??)
Run, Ares. You aren't safe around me.
This is also more free Substack content if anybody is also a sucker for the jar incident and likes to read about how he deals/dealt with that!
Hello, everybody! This is an introduction post, so you can get to know me and what I write!
I technically have had a Substack for a little while, but I never knew what to do with it. Now, I have a game plan! I hope you'll join me over there! It's going to be fun!

Let the art begin!!!!!! Initially, I was using Picrews to help me get an idea of what these characters would look like (and I still have more of those to share, so stay tuned!); however, now that my book cover's done for the finale of my trilogy (Changing Waters), I want to start making these myself.
The plan is to do a redo of the Picrews and pair that with a profile view. After that, I'll do a full physical drawing. Depending on the characters, I'll show them doing something together. This is the first time that character appearances have actually intrigued me, so...yeah, the aspiring artist in me is going to use this as an excuse to practice and the author in me is going to use this as an excuse to yap about this new project. I hope you enjoy!
Some extra details about Egon, a main character in my October 2028 Rumpel Story:
Imps have some base set of skills like teleporting, growing wings, communicating with animals, and even using simple spells. They also each have their own unique spells that ONLY they can use. By this, I mean each individual imp. If someone else thought of it first, you can't do it. One of Egon's unique spells is creating gold out of very non-gold items. He does this while singing a little song. This isn't his only song-related spell either. He also has a special lullaby that lulls people to a deep sleep.
As a bonus, Egon is the very proud adopted poppa of the FMC of this story. She's his best friend too and he absolutely might rest upon the top of her head when he's feeling clingy. He also pranks her mercilessly when they aren't in super dangerous situations.
[This is for my October 2028, horror-fantasy trilogy! It's a spin on the classic tale of Rumpelstiltskin and features underrated mythology from all around the world. If you'd like to be added to the alert list for this story when it comes out [or the tag list, so you'll see updates as I work on it], just let me know in the comments or reblogs!]
Magic Level: Moderate (it's enough to let him grow as big as mountains)
Strength Level: High (Mandawuy has incredible strength and would be an impossible opponent for anyone to take on without significant magic).
Other Skills: Mandawuy, like most Chinny-kiniks, has an extremely strong sense of smell. It can track scents continents away.
Family: He has a clan of Chinny-kiniks he goes around with.
Fun Fact: Mandawuy is actually the leader is that clan. He leads with an iron fist, but he's brought them a lot of food (people).
