Welcome to

Graveyard Chronicles

I​​​​ nstrideOnline is a creative place, a writing platform that has been in the works for more than a decade. Like everything, it has evolved. Originally, it was a news page with articles about current events that linked to informational posts about health, religion, and government.

Then, after writing a short story or two, I decided to try a novel-length work of fiction.

The latest revision of InstrideOnline now includes “Ghostyard Chronicles” – the start of what will eventually be a series of novels within the thriller/suspense and possibly even horror genres. The first one, ANCHOR POINT, is nearly finished.

When each chapter of Anchor Point becomes available here on InstrideOnline, I will be sending a newsletter to my subscribers at www.graveyardchronicles.substack.com. The email will include a short editorial note about fiction writing from “The Complete Handbook of Novel Writing (3rd edition) – a compilation by the editors of Writers Digest. There will also be a brief author’s note about the characters and plot developments in the new chapter.

Yeah. So … this is Deb. Welcome! I hope you’ll head over to Substack to subscribe.
