Upcoming writing events for Dannye Chase, week of Oct 18: Some Good Omens & original fiction, as always!

Y'all I'm delighted to share a blog post I wrote for Improbable Press on the background to my story, "The Enfield Monster," about the lifelong romance between a human woman, Jessica, and a swamp creature named Pearl.

Excerpt:

"I went home," Pearl said. She knew she had a sharp mournful cry, and struggled to keep it out of her voice. "Your old home."

"Enfield," Jessica said. "Oh, my dear, I haven't lived there in twenty years."

My story of cryptids emerging focuses on the lifelong romance between a human woman, Jessica, and a swamp creature named Pearl, who is based on the legend of the “Enfield Monster.” In the story, Pearl’s memory has started to weaken with age. I based Pearl’s experience on a very good friend whom I lost to dementia.

Pre-orders are open!

The Enfield Monster: Two women falling in love, never mind one's a swamp monster.

But Jessica was different too. She was not sharp and acidic like some people, not harsh, and caustic, and afraid. Jessica was open and soft and sweet and lonely. She saw a monster and she wasn't afraid, even when she heard the monster offer her shelter in a half-frozen swamp, even when she heard the monster promise (and Pearl had never lived this down) not to eat her.

"You can't eat me," Jessica had observed. "I'm bigger than you."
