We fell in love in... [October 2025]

Don't bother looking down, we're not going that way... we got a book to release!

Ramping up for Hidden Root!

I’ve been very quiet while working on things for my next book release. Thank you for being patient as I get everything together. It’s all coming along amazingly!

My hope is that October will slow down so I can have some quiet moments to appreciate how far I’ve come and the support I’ve received. Also, to enjoy the fact that it’s spooky season! Let’s share scary tales around the campfire and spin spells around the caldron.

Speaking of art, Sophia DeFelice finished the cover and it is beautiful. I’m so happy to share the cover with my newsletter subscribers first!

Cover Art for Hidden Root by Sapphy Lore

With the marbling on the green and the rough details, I like how this book looks like a tome lost to time. The Injured Tapestry is a trilogy that to me feels like it is from an alternate world, one that is merely a magical portal away. Thank you again, Sophia! You can find more of her artwork by clicking here. 

Newsletter subscribers will be the first to know when its time to preorder Hidden Root! I’ll be sending that information to you by the middle of October. Keep an eye out on your inboxes!

Slashers: A Genre Spark for Modern AGE

I got the opportunity to proofread a fun supplement to the Modern AGE ruleset. Slashers offers some unique rules and tools to run a game session where all the players are surviving a horror film with a spree killer as the main antagonist. The players can have fun even after their character dies within a collaborative experience that makes a dynamic one-shot. You can buy it right now! Click here to get it through drive-thru RPG.

Podcast Update

Lore Together logo for Sonic Adventures 2

The world of Sonic will never make sense, but if you want to try to keep up like I did, that’s what Mystic and I covered in our latest episode. Before that, I once again was in the researcher’s seat with the dark alternate history of Ready or Not. It wasn’t the best historical timing to listen to the episode, but we hope people will listen when they’re ready.

Below, find our streaming schedule for the month of October!

Sapphy Shares—What I’m digging right now

This year, I was given the absolute honor to be a beta reader for Bloodwater by Forrest Graey. I read two different manuscripts, and through this process was able to experience how Forrest crafts lush atmospheres and complex characters. They write about people navigating the strange spaces where fate has brought them, despite every effort to resist. You follow four characters, slowly root for three of them, and end the book not certain what will happen with two of them. It’s a global story with a diverse cast and a unique set of stakes. I’m hooked. This book is undeniably Sapphy Approved.

You can follow Forrest on Instagram (like I do!) @Author.ForrestGraey.

LOOK OUT FOR GHOSTS!

Don’t make deals with the fae, avoid bridges with headless horseman, and be wary of people who lick their lips while staring at your neck. Survive the horrors until next month when you’ll receive more updates and ramblings written by… me. 💜
