Hello friends! Big things are on the horizon for 2022. I'm back to work full time, with another book and television show project on deck, and so much more! Here's what's up:

Upcoming Publications
My long-awaited poetry chapbook, apparitions, was finally accepted for publication last March by Rhythm & Bones Press, winning their Bonechaps poetry chapbook series contest. Unfortunately, the press became embroiled in an unrelated scandal soon after, and subsequently folded. I brushed my shoulders off, regrouped, and found the perfect press for this little chapbook "that could." The book will finally be released this winter by Highland Park Poetry Press, a local publisher that I know well and love! Watch this space for more info, coming soon.

Upcoming Appearances
It's been a great debut year for Amelia's DragonGoddess Boutique! Our items have sold in select stores in Chicago and Salem, Massachusetts, and we were able to introduce our items to the world online and at my in-person events. We are celebrating the holiday season by offering 30% off all items! Handmade incense, meditation kits, and versatile solid perfume are all 30% off through December 31 with coupon code DGB30. Signed copies of my books and postcards are also available in limited quantities through the holidays at regular price. As with all things during the pandemic, a few of my events have been cancelled or rescheduled multiple times during these past two years, but things are looking up for the next one and I can't wait to see you at one of my upcoming appearances (with so many more to be announced in 2022!):

More than ever, thank you all for sharing in this journey with me. Wishing you the happiest of holidays and a healthy and prosperous New Year. And, of course, Happy Hauntings!
~Amelia
