Launch Day for Writer's Discipline Coach App!

2026-04-28T22:52:00.000-04:00

I'm super excited that today is the launch day for my brand new app, Writer's Discipline Coach.

This is an app geared towards writers of all levels in all genres.

When you answer a few questions, the coach will create a writing strategy personalized to you based on your goals, anticipated deadlines, and more.

Check it out: Writer's Discipline Coach App

studio.com/sephera/writer

The app is offered in three-month chunks or a one-year plan.

There's a seven-day trial period for you to work with the app. If you decide during that time that this isn't for you, you can get a refund.

A three-month period of time will help most people finish a novel draft they've started. Others might even write and finish an entire draft from scratch. Some may write short stories or memoirs. Everyone works at different paces so three months seems a good period of time to work on your projects.

There is a progress tracker to show how you're doing.

I hope you check it out!

Theatre Macabre's New Cover and Public Appearances

2026-04-13T08:52:00.001-04:00

Things have been super busy lately! Those of you who are on my Patreon know what's going on!

Theatre Macabre has been issued a new cover which showcases my third place win with the Canadian Book Awards and my nomination for an Elgin Award.

You can pick up a copy of Theatre Macabre at Little Ghosts Bookstore in Toronto or order it online at Amazon. It will soon be in other places, my publisher assures me.

You can pick up a copy of Theatre Macabre at the Dark Arts Market in Toronto on May 23. I'll be there and happy to sign it!

I'm still planning to attend Stokercon for now. We'll see how the next few weeks shakes out with politics and wars.

In a couple of weeks, I'll be announcing a new project that I've been working on for a couple of months. I'm super excited about it. It's a way for me to teach Creative Writing for all levels of writers.

Have a great day!

Celebrate the Lizzie Borden House Anthology in Fall River!

2025-10-29T12:14:00.002-04:00

On November 9, 2025, you are invited to party with some of the authors from the Lizzie Borden House Anthology at the actual house where the murders took place.

This is a two-hour event where you can buy drinks, buy a tour of the house, and buy a copy of the book.

There will be authors on hand to read their work to you and sign your books!

Cheryl French

David Jester

Ricardo Rebelo

Trish Wilson

Sadly, I myself won't be able to make the trek from Toronto to Fall River but I hope you all have an amazing time!

Take lots of pictures and tell me all about all the weird and strange things you saw at the launch and in the murder house!

Even if you can't make the event, you can pick up a copy of the book on Amazon and many other online bookstores!

Halloween Reading with Lizzie Borden

2025-10-15T17:10:00.002-04:00

The Lizzie Borden House Anthology is finally here!

It was a year or two in the making, and we found some amazing stories for you all.

Some horror (after all, it's a horrific crime!), some mystery, some time travel, some poetry...

Twenty-six entries in all!

Find it at Riverdale Avenue Books and Amazon as well as other places!

Another book I helped bring to life is InhuMANities from Andrew Robertson and published by the Great Lakes Horror Company!

This is his first solo book —a collection of horror, namely body-horror stories!

A gripping and compelling read that includes his first novella, "Pressed."

And if you feel like some short dark humour, you can pick up my poetry collection, Theatre Macabre!

Free Writing Workshops at Fan Expo

2025-08-13T11:42:00.003-04:00

This year, Sèphera Girón and Dorian Grant will be presenting THREE writers' workshops.

You can come to one, you can come to all! They are all FREE with your Fan Expo admission.

All the workshops are 45 minutes.

All workshops will have PowerPoint and short writing exercises.

Since the workshop is so short, there won't be time to share with the class. If you have anxiety, this might be a relief!

For all of the workshops, please bring paper and a pen to take notes and complete the exercises. Sometimes paper and pen work better for free-flowing thoughts than typing on your phone.

Write a Short Story Using Tarot Cards

You don't need to know anything at all about tarot cards.

You can bring your own tarot cards to work with if you like.

We will run through some exercises that will help you sketch out a story, book, or screenplay idea.

So You Want to Write a Horror Story?

If you've come to my previous workshops, this one will be more concise with more writing time.

With this workshop, we will explore elements of writing a horror story, book, or screenplay.

You will be guided through a couple of exercises that will help you sketch out the bare bones of your story.

Write a Space Opera

You will be guided through a galaxy far, far away to examine some of the elements of writing a space opera.

You will have a couple of space opera writing exercises.

You will have the guidelines to work on a story, book, or screenplay at the end of the workshop.

We're looking forward to working with you!

Everyone knows the legend of Lizzie Borden, especially the dark nursery rhyme...

Lizzie Borden took an axe

Gave her mother 40 whacks.

When she saw what she had done,

Gave her father 41

Riverdale Avenue Books has teamed up with the Historical Lizzie Borden house to put together an anthology of stories, under the direction of award-winning horror author Sèphera Girón, who has visited the house multiple times over the past few decades.

The “Official” Story of the Lizzie Borden House

· Lizzie Borden was born in 1860 in Fall River, Massachusetts. Since her mother had died when she was young, she had been at odds with her stepmother, Abby, who she and her older sister, Emily, believed married her father for his wealth. Their father, Andrew, was a prominent developer in Fall River.

· Lizzie grew up an upstanding member of her community, being heavily involved in the church and performing services for the poor. As Lizzie grew older, the tension between the parents and the daughters grew. Lizzie and Emily remained unmarried, bringing negative attention to the family from their peers and the sisters were critical of the way their father was distributing his wealth to their stepmother’s family..

· The story says that Lizzie, blind with rage, hacked her father and stepmother to death in the house. The trial that followed became one of the most sensationalized courtroom cases in American history, attracting hundreds of tourists to Fall River. Lizzie was acquitted due to lack of evidence and reasonable doubt although the fact that she destroyed the clothes she wore have convinced some of her guilt. She lived the rest of her life in relative anonymity, but her legacy still lives on to this day.

And what we are looking for:

Short stories in this anthology can spread across many genres and we’re very interested in new and unique takes on the legends and realities of the Lizzie Borden story. We’d love to see time travel, science fiction, fantasy, paranormal, romance, erotica, mysteries, etc.

Stories can be reflective of the many possibilities of the house from the rumored theatre parties at Maplecroft, the mysterious disappearance of the maid Bridget Sullivan, people who came and went from the house on the murder day, the ghost cats that greet the current guests of the bed and breakfast, what happened to Michael the caretaker, and the mysterious death of the estranged Borden sisters mere days apart. Maybe discover what happened during the making of the movies and TV shows about the unsolved murder or various ghost-hunting escapades that had taken place in the house. Let’s also be mindful of the times these murders took place where only men were jurors, we can highlight Women’s Suffrage and Prohibition. Take us on a journey of intrigue, mystery, and fantasy in a reimaging of the Lizzie Borden story.

We will be publishing the anthology, in hardcover, trade paperback and ebooks, and it will be available in book stores and online wherever books are sold.

We are looking for short stories of 1,000 to 5,000 words in all genres and categories. Authors will be paid a $10 fee, and receive a copy of each edition of the book.

If you would like to send us your stories, please send them to LizzieBordenHouse@yahoo.com and submissions@riverdaleavebooks.com or lori@riverdaleavebooks.com with the subject “LizzieBorden.” After which, we will send you confirmation that we received your submission. If you do not receive a confirmation from either of those three emails, you may follow up with an email requesting confirmation.

Submissions will be open from now until June 1, 2025. After June 1, 2025, we will begin sending out acceptance or rejection emails for your submitted short stories. Please, do not follow up on whether your story has been accepted.

About the editor: Sèphera Girón is the author of 20 traditionally published books under various names. Her main love is horror and most of her work embraces themes of occult, metaphysical, erotica, and suspense.

As a freelance editor for over 10 years, Sèphera has helped hundreds of authors put their best words forward. She feels lucky that she not only can write for a living but she can help others write for a living as well.

In recent years, Sèphera has enjoyed paranormal investigations from as near as Casa Loma in Toronto to the Lizzie Borden House in Fall River and a haunted mansion in California. Her most recent trip took her to the Stanley Hotel in Colorado, the place that inspired The Overlook in The Shining by Stephen King. Some of her adventures inspired a few of her own books and stories.

Three Horror Poets at Little Ghosts Bookstore in Toronto January 2025

2025-01-14T22:44:00.004-05:00

It's been mighty crispy here in Toronto, but if you're in town on Saturday, January 18, 2025, why not swing by Little Ghosts Books for a couple of hours of poetry and discussion from 1 - 3?

There will be short readings by three poets: Liz Worth, Philip Rowan, and Sèphera Girón, along with a discussion about horror poetry. We'd love for you to ask questions and share your thoughts.

I'll be reading three short poems.

Little Ghosts is chock full of dark delights ranging from books, T-shirts, snacks, and beverages!

Copies of the reader's books will be available, so pick one up and get it signed!

Make sure you take a look at all the cool books they have in stock and pick up the ones that catch your eye!

Information about the event can be found here: Little Ghosts Books

Theatre Macabre at Frightmare in the Falls!

2024-10-23T23:27:00.000-04:00

This weekend, I'll be at Frightmare in the Falls!

I have two books out this month!

THEATRE MACABRE is a short collection of poetry about the theatre!

Each poem has a photograph before it. I took and manipulated all of the photos with some help from Canva and some of their graphics and photos.

The cover was created by Dinis Freitas (as all Great Lakes Horror Company covers are created!) Dinis was also on Big Brother Canada in the 2024 (and last) season.

Formatting was done by Kody Boye. I gave it my best shot, but Kody had to take the reins!

Thank you to all my patrons on Patreon for supporting me while I write!

Theatre Macabre is my first poetry book. I've dabbled in poetry on and off over my entire life. I've had many poems published. I've written a few songs. I've considered poetry collections before and have even assembled some incomplete ones but never published them as 1) I didn't finish writing enough poems or 2) publishing was different twenty years ago.

Now that publishing is easier, I thought that maybe I'd try my hand at a poetry series. I was on the last few poems when I told Andrew Robertson I was publishing a poetry book. He offered Great Lakes Publishing to put it out. Of course, I jumped at the chance. Great Lakes does a great job with my work so far! The next poetry book after Theatre Macabre will be centered around amusement parks!

The poetry in Theatre Macabre is all new and unpublished. A couple of the poems were written a few years ago, but most were written this year.

I had over fifty photos I pulled from my photos over the past decade to use for the book, but in the end, I only used a few. It was SO HARD to decide which ones to use. That's how I knew that I would make a series. I have more cool photos to play with.

The photos are purposely manipulated in the mouths and eyes.

I hope you like THEATRE MACABRE!

Don't forget to leave a review. It really helps.

I'll be reading from Theatre Macabre

at Little Ghosts Books in Toronto on January 18, 2025.

The event is from 1 -3.

Of course, everything is subject to change.

Liz Worth is launching her new poetry book and invited me to be part of the presentation.

When I know if more authors are added, I'll post on social media.

Liz Worth and I are sharing a table at Frightmare in the Falls, October 25-27.

We'll both have copies of our new books there as well as copies of our other work.

I also have released the first few chapters of Serial Vlogger into print form for readers who don't want to click on twenty-something links to read our story so far!

Serial Vlogger is a horror story and social commentary.

We follow the lives of several characters; some are vloggers, some watch the vloggers, all crave a better life.

In the city, there's something sinister roaming the streets. Watch for the white vans...they are the first clue.

Sèphera Girón Upcoming Events

2024-07-17T21:54:00.000-04:00

I'm off to Necon in a few hours. It's after 9 pm here and I have to get to the airport around 7 am. I'm looking forward to it.

Necon is in a new place this year and going back to the old college dorm style the old timers remember. I'm looking forward to seeing how the new dorm situation works out. I'm looking forward to being outside and talking to friends and making new ones.

I'm looking forward to walking everywhere, I've been a big old sloth since I returned from Cedar Point. Between the heat and working, it's been a lot to just keep going, let alone get my steps in!

I'm happy to be on a panel at Necon. This is a very small convention with one track of programming and you don't always get included. I'm lucky that I've always been included and don't take it for granted.

My panel is on Friday at 4 pm and will be about writing horror NOT in the US. I have lots published that doesn't take place in the US. I have a monster story set in the Yukon. I'm working on a novel that takes place in Northern Canada.

Canada has some unique monsters, cryptids, and creatures if the panel goes that way. I'm not sure what we'll be discussing and I'm ready for anything.

There will be an author signing on Friday night and I'll have copies of books with me.

Specimens collected stories by Sèphera Girón and Andrew Robertson

Weird Tales of Terror collected stories and an early novel by Sèphera Girón

Dearly Departed by Sèphera Girón and Andrew Robertson

On July 24 at 10 pm, I'll be on the YouTube show Super Geeked Up. I'm sure they'll make me do some weird games like they do to the other guests, so be sure to tune in and throw in your comments and votes for the games and polls.

What's Going On?

2024-05-15T19:46:00.003-04:00

Super busy times!!

But at least here are a few new-to-most-of-you titles to check out! All of these titles are available on Amazon and many other platforms in both ebook and print.

Except for Specimens.

Specimens is a sampler containing six stories from Sèphera Girón and Andrew Robertson, published by The Great Lakes Horror Company.

This collection was created as a free treat for those who are attending Stokercon San Diego 2024.

If you're attending the convention, make sure you don't leave without one! The book is short as it's just a taste of some of our work so you can slip it into your laptop case or knapsack.

Have you picked up a copy of Weird Tales of Terror Volume One yet? I know it's been through a few changes but this edition from The Great Lakes Horror Company looks fabulous! Hot off the press!

DEARLY DEPARTED is a collection from both Andrew Robertson and myself. Although the book contains reprints, some are slightly different in this version. Also, bet you can't find half of them in the wild even if you wanted to! So grab your copy today with this real cool cover of a Jackalope!

BLOOD GAMES is a vampire anthology risen from its old incarnation HIGH STAKES and has gathered up a few new authors to add to the collection! Hot off the press! Released March 2024!

SERIAL VLOGGER is my love letter to people who like to read my work. Every week I add a new slice to the SERIAL VLOGGER pie. By the end of it all, there will be a complete novel. As of this writing, there are 31 slices already published with many to go. It's free to read and free to sign up so that new slices go directly into your inbox. There is also a place to pay for a subscription if you wish to support my efforts and for that, I'm super grateful! But you can read for free!

I'm always available to give tarot readings. Right now I'm pushing video readings. How does it work?

You send me $20 on Paypal along with your question. Or maybe you have no question and that's fine as well. You don't have to send a question, I can just see what I can see. If you know it, please include your birth information: day/month/year time/place

Once I receive your information and payment, I will make a little video with your reading and email it back to you. If there's a specific email you want it sent, include that in the notes. You can also get video tarot card readings as a gift for someone else.

I'll be able to give in-person readings at Stokercon. You can book an appointment in advance. Just send the $20 and then we'll together pick a good time for both of us at the con.

Tarot Readings are a large part of my income right now, so I super appreciate your support!

If you don't have Paypal, you can pay on stripe or e-transfer.

Thank you for your support!

See you at Stokercon!

Now, I'm starting a podcast that will be weekly that will tackle a few different topics that interest me. The very first podcast is about The Narcissist and the Holidays.

What Is Serial Vlogger?

2023-12-08T16:08:00.000-05:00

SerialVlogger is a horror novel written in tiny slices!

What does this mean?

It means that I’m serving up a slice of a novel every week.

Serial Vlogger is a complete novel, a horror novel.

Since it’s being written as I go along, it’s akin to a first draft!

I have more than half the book written, and I know how it ends. This isn’t really a pantser experiment in case you're worried! This is a full novel.

The idea for Serial Vlogger has been in my head for many years.

The character of Lenore (and a lot connected to her) has shown up in a couple of pitches, drafts, and ideas for other horror novels and screenplays but now she’s in Serial Vlogger.

The more time passes, the more urgency I feel about getting Serial Vlogger out as it’s a comment on YouTube culture and social media. Since these cultures change rather rapidly, I decided it’s time to just get the book out before things change again so much that people won’t “get” Serial Vlogger. This is why I’ve decided to write it for free on Substack . It’s timely and I don’t want to wait a couple of years for it to get published.

The slices are presented for free on Sundays on Substack.

There are weeks that I miss for whatever reasons, so I make up for the absence by adding extra installments during the week to catch up when I get them prepared. For instance, there’s a slice today (December 8), tomorrow, and then we’ll be back on track by Sunday’s slice. I don't expect to miss any more weeks for a couple of months. I'm planning to preload them over the next few days.

The slices are smaller than chapters which is why I call them slices. Several slices will make a chapter. I likely won't do the chapter indicators until the book is finished and then goes through some revisions.

Serial Vlogger is my gift to you! I appreciate all my readers over the years. While Serial Vlogger is being serialized on Substack, it is free. Once it’s finished, we’ll see what comes next.

What is the Content?

You can expect a Sèphera Girón work, uncensored. Readers of my work know that they can expect social commentary, murder, ghosts, body horror, insanity, and more. Serial Vlogger will touch on ideas such as cults, serial killers, feeders, and obsession.

This is a FICTIONAL work of horror and I’m not known for playing nice or making my reader comfortable. Consider this your trigger warning or disclaimer!

Now that we’re getting up to the teens in the slice count, I expect more people will be inclined to read as they can read more of the work all at once. Some readers like their stories doled out in bits, and some like to binge. I get it!

Patrons on Patreon

All paid levels of Patrons on my Patreon get to see the work first. In fact, they've already seen a super rough version of a big chunk of what will be published over the next few months. But they also get the little slices at least one day (when possible) before it's published on Substack.

It's FREE!

I hope you enjoy this free novel. Please subscribe for free or you can join the paid subscriber tier as a tip if you're enjoying my content.

Please share Serial Vlogger as I’m writing it for all horror fans!
