My (Very Belated) Writeblr Introduction!
I realize in all the time I have managed this (and my first) blog, I have never introduced myself into writeblr! Opps.
Some points: I’m Caitlin (professionally known as Caitlin E. Jones). I’m an author (in progress), (almost) a Literary Studies graduate, and very bi. I have written off and on for the past 15 years, either through fanfics (I know a couple of mutuals on here that are from that long ago) and then through original fiction. I have one novel published, which can be found in the snazzy picture below, and very purchasable on Amazon and other retailers! I also have two novellas published, which you can find on the same links! I started this blog as a writing space in 2013, but that was before writblr was a thing. So, I’m looking for new writblrs to follow!
What I Post: This started as a writing blog, but I have generally let it fall into a personal blog with occasional posts about my stories and process. I share a lot of other writing content too, and occasional fandoms, travel stuff, some liberal-leaning politics, and historical content as it strikes me. I do keep a second blog for my book series that is JUST content for my writing- feel free to follow that too. WIPs (of various progress):
The Faire Curiosities: My main series. Gothic, gaslamp fantasy set in Ireland, at the end of the Victorian Era. Faeries, undead things, and facets of Irish mythology and folklore, all to a tune of tea parties and balls. Chimehour is the first: I am currently reworking the second and third book for later publication.
Chiaroscuro: Stand-alone retelling of Frankenstein. Gender-swapped Victor, gothic, feminist, gaslamp fantasy, romance. Set in 19th century France.
Fairy Tale Retelling Collection: Ongoing short story project for retelling fairy tales. I have already done Hansel and Gretel and The Snow Queen, but I have others planned. Generally high fantasy and feminist.
I share a lot about my characters and process through the hashtag “chimehour,” but you can always ask if you can’t find a certain question. I also share a lot on my book blog and my Pinterest.
My interests: Obviously I love SFF of most kinds (high fantasy, paranormal, hard sci-fi, alt. history included), but I’m always looking for new buddies that like gothic, gaslamp, steampunk, and anything around those genres. So few of us out there. I’m also a big supporter of fanfic, though I don’t read much anymore, and I love writing advice blogs. Feel free to reblog and pass this around with your author info: looking to refill my dash with fellow writers!
