SOUL CASTLE
History was complicated enough before the fae got involved.
Time travel. Scottish history. Fae magic. Terrible decisions across multiple centuries.
ENTER SOUL CASTLEMELISSA HALLMAN WRITES
Author.
News gremlin.
Professional collector
of squirrels.
I write time-traveling Scottish fae, explain whatever the hell happened today, and occasionally let a thousand-year-old Scottish woman commandeer her own newsletter.
PICK YOUR RABBIT HOLE
There are several. I have accepted this.
NEWS. WEIRD SHIT. LESS DOOMSCROLLING.
DAILY DOTS
Less news.
More personality.
Significantly more profanity.
HAPPENED TODAY?
THE DARK MILE
JOURNALS
Before Soul Castle,
there was Sorcha.
Free serialized historical fantasy from 10th-century Scotland.

Books. News. Weird history. New projects. Occasional faeries.
I’ll email when I make something worth bothering you about.

No daily inbox assault. I have too many squirrels for that.
HI. I’M MELISSA.
Collector of dots. Chaser of squirrels.
I started as a journalist, became an author, accidentally wandered back into news, and somehow accumulated Scottish fae, newsletters, chickens, guineas, hummingbirds and an unreasonable number of business ideas.
This is where I keep the squirrels that refuse containment.
SUPPORT THE CHAOS
Everything here takes coffee, software, questionable judgment and an unreasonable number of browser tabs.
