First the Spoken Word and Visual Art ...

Author's Note

Monsters, Avatars, and Angels contains the short story series Demons, Harlots and Crones, which follows two generations of the Demeere family and its legacy of spite and envy. Included in the series is Demon in High Socks; Holler it out with Lemonade; the Old Lady, Her Plymouth, and Cockroaches; Sex in a Pan; and the Fire Crone and Stone Harlot. Also within its pages are more than a hundred poems exploring the darker side of human nature and its undeniable conclusion. Two Orphan Sparrows, the Devil is a DJ, the Last Striptease, Up From the Roses, and many more titles are found within. Ultimately Monsters, Avatars, and Angels asks the reader to look at the darkness found within herself and by facing it, perhaps go beyond.

I am fine dear Pryde. Semi-retired. Working on my work. Doing deep edit and I hope to publish two books this year. You are welcome and I hope you are doing well and staying safe.

A beautiful presentation that speaks to me of unrequited longing and loneliness.

Thanks so much, Beccy. What novel is that from?

[Beccy]

It's from 'The Island.'

[CD Campbell]

That was really cool. I can see how much love and devotion you put into these spoken word videos and it's something you should be proud of. The tone of your voice was pleasant, but held an edge of someone silently sneaking preparing for a scare or attack. The imagery along with the words didn't distract at all from the spoken word and heightened the tone. I liked it. Good job.

Thanks so much, CD:)

An atmospheric, ghostly feel on reading between past and present. Supernatural themes came to mind in a most entertaining read. You just wanted more!

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, Andrew:)

[Tertia]

Your writing gives an almost immediate atmosphere, immersing me in the house and making me want to know more. I enjoyed this.

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, Tertia:)

I do like your ambient artistry, but reading the stark black and white of this haunted tale/house was very powerful, I liked that the dead/ghost tree was still searching for sunlight and life, I spoke this out loud and it takes on different undertones in a shouty Scottish accent, lol

[Pryde Foltz]

I would have love to have heard that. Thanks, Gram:)

[Christina Mackenzie]

Invitation to return life and light to the house? Or something dark possessing the land, luring the unwary to doom? Love this so much!

[Pryde Foltz]
