T IS FOR TORTURE RELEASED!!!
Thank you so much to all my friends, family, and supporters who pre-order copies of this funny, ridiculous book or came out to in-person events! YOU ALL ARE THE BEST!!!!!
Your support means the world to me, and I couldn't have done it without you. I appreciate your willingness to take a chance on my work and your enthusiasm for the project. I hope you enjoyed reading the book as much as I enjoyed writing it. And if it left you traumatized…well—at least you aren’t alone! HA!
Also….the e-book is available on Kindle Unlimited and I *might* be working on a funny little Audiobook version as well. Watch those social media spaces for updates!

HWA TN
Welp. I’ve done it. I’ve jumped off the cliff and finally started a new HWA Chapter here in the state of TN. We had our first online meeting a couple of weeks ago and it was AWESOME! Such a cool group of talented people with loads of knowledge to share. I am super pumped. If you’re a writer in TN and interested in joining us…email me at marie.lestrange.books@gmail.com.
CRIMSON COBBLESTONES Updates:
As some of you know, I have been *secretly* composing songs that will be included in between the chapters of my upcoming Gothic Historical Horror Novel, Crimson Cobblestones. (It’s that serial killer in 1739 book *wink* *wink*.)
I’m drawing tons of inspiration from my favorite Broadway shows and musicals; Sweeney Todd, Jekyll & Hyde, Les Miserables…so on and so on. Ya’ll…I am having a BLAST. I can’t help but chuckle as I waltz through the grocery store, humming one of my favorite new tunes…knowing that the lyrics are less than lady-like. LOL
The plan is to insert a page with the lyrics and a QR code, which readers can then use to go listen to the song on Spotify (because yes, we are recording them!!)
El Berto (my husband, Bert Lestrange) has graciously agreed to sing the male parts for me…so you all can guess how thrilled he is about that. LOL Speaking of…the man is ALMOST FINISHED with his current blood-sucking project, slated to release in 2024, and IT IS SO SO GOOD. Way to go, Bert, my love! :D Crimson Cult Media making the moves!
Le Podcast is thriving, with guests booking into February 2024 at this point. Don’t forget to tune in to those on *MOTH MONDAY* or watch them any ole time on Youtube.
As the holiday season stalks slowly towards us…I really want to hear what you’d like to see in the Crimson Curiosities store!!!!! More splatter? More spooky? Funny Horror shit? Let me know so that we can get that custom spooky stuff under the Yule Tree! :P
I’ll leave you with this photo from our wonderful trip to Salem in October!) Ya’ll already know I could have stayed forever!!!!
Keep it Creepy, you spooky bitches! :P
