Quiet art and writing for healing, self-trust, and becoming.
Jackson Square becomes something stranger in The Seven-Tongued Saint, one of the haunted New Orleans stories inside Tongue of the Serpent.
Listen to the full episodes on YouTube and Spotify, and find the books on Amazon.
Some stories do not stay buried.
Beneath New Orleans, cracks widen and vines curl through ironwork they have no roots to reach. The Rootheart is waking, and it remembers the choice Evelyn has spent lifetimes trying to outrun.
The Rootheart Whispers, Book Two of Tongue of the Serpent, arrives October 1.
In Tongue of the Serpent, New Orleans remembers. The city keeps secrets, opens unexpected doors, and has opinions about everyone who walks its streets.
Enter the story through the books on Amazon or listen to full episodes on YouTube and Spotify.
Fern enters a strange New Orleans shop where remedies, rumors, and old magic gather.
Waiting inside are old bargains, dangerous thresholds, a ghostly Victorian gentleman, and Junebug, the tortoiseshell cat who has assumed supervisory authority.
The Ninth Herb is a darkly whimsical Southern Gothic fairy tale about grief, survival, memory, and beginning again.

🎙️ VOICES FROM THE KREWE: SHANE NAQUIN 🎙️
Please join us in celebrating Shane Naquin, the voice of Urs Blackwood in *Tongue of the Serpent*.
Every member of the Blackwood family carries a complicated history, and Urs brought another dark and unsettling presence into their story. Playing a character like Urs means entering a world already tangled with old loyalties, family secrets, supernatural danger, and wounds that have never entirely healed. Shane gave Urs a grounded presence that made him feel as though he had always belonged within that history.
Independent audio dramas are built by performers who are willing to trust an unusual story, step inside its world, and lend their time and voices to characters who previously existed only on the page. Shane embraced the strangeness of *Tongue of the Serpent* and helped us bring another member of the Blackwood family fully to life.
In Shane’s words:
“My name is Shane Naquin. I’m 48 years old, and I had the pleasure of being part of this unique production, *Tongue of the Serpent*. I got to play Urs Blackwood, and it was a pleasure to help bring him and his story to life.”
We are deeply grateful to Shane for sharing his voice and talent with the Krewe. Urs may have carried more than a little darkness into our story, but Shane was an absolute pleasure to have as part of it.
Thank you, Shane, for helping make the strange and complicated Blackwood family even more memorable!
Some nights, companionship is enough.
Noiraine won’t ask you to explain the day or improve tomorrow. She will simply stay while you soften, drift, and sleep.
Spend the evening with Noiraine in a Street of Forgetting sleep story. The full story is on the channel.
Tongue of the Serpent began as a gothic supernatural audio drama and kept growing rooms.
At its heart is the Morningstar, a New Orleans house filled with immortals, witches, bargains, old grief, strange children, and people trying to become a family.

One short excerpt could never explain Lucien Devereux. Fortunately, Tongue of the Serpent gives him plenty of room to reveal himself, usually on his own deeply inconvenient timetable.

Five events in about thirty hours seemed like a perfectly reasonable idea at the time. 😂
This weekend involved books, art, comedy, hosting, hauling things around, and one very strange victory involving the fewest imaginary bullets.
But the new blog post is really about something bigger: what it means to build a creative life when nobody is standing around waiting to hand you the next opportunity.
Sometimes you have to apply. Sometimes you have to ask. Sometimes you have to raise your hand and say, “Hey, can I do that?”
New post is live. 💚
Sometimes You Have to Ask There are weekends when I am a reasonably sensible human being, and then there are weekends when I somehow schedule five events in roughly thirty hours.Between Friday evening at seven and Saturday night at ten, I performed, hosted, sold books, did stand-up, hauled things around, talked to a remarkab...
Some doors open into a city. Others open into the parts of you that you cannot explain.
The Woman Who Wasn’t Always is a strange, beautiful liminal story about identity, memory, and what happens when your life no longer feels like your own.
