Today's fun fact: the media that inspired me as I wrote Wraiths and Wanderings! 🌷Lakesedge by @lkclipstone 🌷Ninth House by @lbardugo 🌷Buzzfeed Unsolved (check @shanemadej and @ryanbergara at @wearewatcher for some really cool actual ghost hunters! 🌷Anna Dressed in Blood by @kendareblake These are the bad boys that got me pumped up about writing about ghosts, the occult, and writing my weird little children! Charlotte is, as always, the beautiful @tica_jules #wraithsandwanderings #charlotteblythe #charlotteandwade #amwriting #indieauthor #mortlockwing #Victorianlibrary #ghosthunting #darkacademia #aesthetic #debutauthor #debutbook #urbanfantasy #occulthorror #paranormalfantasy #buzzfeedunsolved #lakesedge #ninthhouse #annadressedinblood #writinginspo #witch #hunter #supernatural https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp9oFheuOY_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

First line of the original draft VS the first line in the final edits. Original first line: The camera pans over the estate. Final first line: Thunder crackled in the distance as the trees whipped back and forth, dancing to a secret rhythm only they could hear. Though the idea behind the first chapter, the book itself, remained the same, this weird little novel changed a lot witthh time, experience, and effort. It wouldn't be where it is now without that first, simple line, though.

Whatcha thinking about, Lottie? Today's fun fact:the bulk of the book was written where this photo was taken! It's where I do a lot of my writing when I'm not at home.

Charlotte claims to have started her YouTube channel to show the world the truth about the supernatural, but is that really true? Charlotte Blythe by @tica_jules Fun Charlotte fact: her favourite whiskey is a 30 year old Glen Moray (even better when someone else pays) #wraithsandwanderings #charlotteblythe #charlotteandwade #indieauthor #ghostvlogger #urbanfantasy #occulthorror #debutauthor #debutbook https://www.instagram.com/p/CpUrmU8LKn0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Some exciting things coming in the next two weeks! 🌷A cover shaped thing 🌷Photography of Charlotte (eee!) 🌷Some of my favourite things form Wraiths and Wanderings In celebration of this, I'm going to share some ~~facts~~ each post with you all. Today is: Charlotte's birthday! She's actually a leap year baby, born February 29th, 1992. Which also makes her a Pisces-- pretty in line with the person she IS, not the one she pretends to be! #wraithsandwanderings #charlotteblythe #charlotteandwade #amwriting #indieauthor #cemetery #selfpublishing #wadevanbaird #ghosthunting #ghostvlogger #autumnleaves https://www.instagram.com/p/CpPAXvorHIn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Flowers are very important in Wraiths and Wanderings. Particularly, tulips. They represent perfect or deep love, rebirth, and charity (IYKYK) 🌷 ARCS are still open; follow the link in my profile! #wraithsandwanderings #charlotteblythe #charlotteandwade #amwriting #indieauthor #tulips #flowers #selfpublishing #supernatual #wadevanbaird https://www.instagram.com/p/Co_IMgUS1Me/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Witches: ✔️ Demons: ✔️ Soulmates: ✔️ Ghost hunting: ✔️ Found family: ✔️ Love from another time: ✔️ Depression so deep you can't do the things you used to: ✔️ Wraiths and Wanderings is a weird little book that holds many parts of me in it. I hope you'll find these little things, and hold them close like treasure. This is the final moodboard I made and used to inspire me while drafting. The original draft (named The Occultist) was such a different product, they don't even look like they were the same book. Some fun Charlotte content coming in the next few weeks! #wraithsandwanderings #charlotteblythe #charlotteandwade #amwriting #indieauthor #moodboard #occulthorror &#paranormalfantasy #selfpublishing https://www.instagram.com/p/Co3b-enSERO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
