Start Here! Visitor’s Guidebook
Welcome! As is a Substack tradition, this directory will guide you through the maze of posts here on Star-Spun, formerly Windflower. This will be your guide and shortcut to all individual fiction directories, articles, and flotsam and jetsam.
Please note that the following symbol denotes which pieces are behind the paywall: 🗝️. Any multi-chapter novel which bears a key beside it will have at least one free chapter available.
Note benne: if this symbol appears next to a fiction directory, the directory itself is not paywalled. Story directories contain playlists and other items of interest; the key marks that only a few chapters of this story are available for free readers to access.
About the Authoress:
Hello there! I’m a traditional Catholic, who can usually be found daydreaming, writing God-centered fiction, designing beautiful dresses and chapel veils, and chilling with my tabby cat!
To date, I’ve published the science-fantasy/fiction trilogy, Ransom: Shadow of an Empire via En Route Books & Media, and am currently awaiting the publication of Wingswept: The Dragon and the Dove, one of my favorite stories thus far, a Franco-Lithuanian inspired fairytale. Check out the links listed below to get a glimpse of the stories I’ve been posting here on Substack, as well as artwork and other fun posts!
As a freelance artist and designer, you can also find me creating artworks both for myself and for fellow writers. Check out
for my artwork, as well as the artwork of fellow artist and writer Grace Bourget. You can also view some of my work and services here:

🔏(being de-paywalled!) Rise of Sirius ~ Sirius, the lord of mighty stars, the scorcher of evil hearts.
Reid Hope is a hero with a problem: He doesn’t have access to first-class technology. He lacks the grace of spontaneity by his costume’s construction. His path of danger makes him fear connection. He has no powers.What he does have is a heart full of love and vengeance.
It’s a combination that can scorch.
In 1930’s America, society is finally getting over the remnants of Egyptomania - or is it? When bizarre references to Ancient cults springs up in Reid’s path of vengeance, leaving an orphaned child in his heart, he begins to wonder. With the help of a little Clarity and the God who guides him, Reid finds answers to all his questions. The last question is…what does it cost?

The Sun Kingdom: The Sword of Myn' Index
