To Benight & Beguile

In just one month we return to where it all began. In BOOK9, prepare for the lives of everyone on @BenightBeguile to change forever. CATCH UP with Recaps of Books 1-8 below! Recap Link: tinyurl.com/BookRecaps #Benight #GothicFiction #WebSerial #SoapOpera #WritingCommunity

Official BOOK9 Poster is out! Adding to the gallery of past books. COME BACK MONDAY APRIL 20th For all new chapters!

A common thread in "TO BENIGHT & BEGUILE" is that of identity. Who are we? Who were we meant to be at birth? Do our inner & outer-selves match? Those answers become clearer in our journey thru life. & In Welshport life can be b*tch! Or better a WITCH! COME BACK 4/20/26 FOR BOOK9!

On the last hours of #NationalDoctorDay I wanted to shine a light on my 4 fictional doctors who have always gone to great lengths to care for their patients— even if their true motives were a bit, shall we say dubious. But to the real doctors out there THANK YOU for your care!

@ThatBoyyJacob1 I can see that!

@SalemBTS @DaysPeacock Oh, she’s definitely Nu-Abby

Twenty two more days!!!!! Hints: 🔮🪬⚰️🪦💉👊🏽👱🏼‍♀️👩🏽‍🦱 👱🏼‍♀️💲

RETURNING APRIL 20th!

@BlackwellJudyn Always appreciate you Judyn! 💜

On Concrete Shelves- @StoneCreek_OCS Forever Young- @jjlou__ The Changing Tides & Behind Closed Doors- @OurWritersNook I have so much to get through, it's gonna take lots of time haha. I'm already reading @BenightBeguile and @theblackthornes !

Thanks Tarrell. Currently on my text-based soap binge list are- Liberty City- @LCOnlineSerial Town & Country- @bredrew2 One Day At A Time- @odaat_webseries Footprints- @footprints_soap Whispering Bay- @Dolemitetcs1 Euphoria- @hellorobhill

@olderbrother21 Hi! Happy Saturday! I can’t say that I have any direct inspirations when I created Evie. She’s a mixture of many soap heroines that I’ve admired over the years. A good mix of Eden Capwell, Victoria Winters, Carrie Brady, Vanessa Hart, Hope Williams, Kelly Taylor & Vanessa Ives.

@BenightBeguile Good evening & Happy Super Saturday! I hope you have such a gracious weekend! I have a special question for you. Who are some of your main inspirations behind the character of Evie? #Benight

HBD to My inspiration for #Benight’s Fatima Braga: Tanya Boyd. Her iconic & mysterious Celeste Perrault is a fav of mine. Like Celeste, Fatima’s past impacts a family member in a painful reveal. A direct homage is Fatima being Filipe’s mother not his aunt (like Celeste/Lexi)

@olderbrother21 Hi! Johnathon won’t lead a story in Book9. His doomed romance with witch Jaqueline Gray will be featured, but in smaller bits. Book9’s story-arc revolves around several other threads that I will be finishing up. Book10 has not been written.

@BenightBeguile Good evening & TGIF! I hope you have such a meaningful day! I have a special question for you. Do you have big plans for Johnathan in Books 9 & 10? #Benight

@olderbrother21 Hey Tarrell! There are really so many factors. Originality, good pacing, character growth. Etc. bur honestly as long as someone has a passion for their story & they want to tell it, they should. You can tell when a writer is really into it and when they’re over it.

@BenightBeguile Good evening & Happy Throwback Thursday! I hope you have such a thoughtful day! I have a special question for you. As the creator of #Benight, what do you think makes a good text-based soap?

@vhscut Is Black Swan horror? 🤔 don’t get me wrong loved that love but I don’t know about it being horror. Maybe.

Amy Madigan entra para o grupo de atuações em filme de terror vencedoras do Oscar: • Amy Madigan – A Hora do Mal • Natalie Portman – Cisne Negro • Jodie Foster – O Silêncio dos Inocentes • Kathy Bates – Louca Obsessão • Ruth Gordon – O Bebê de Rosemary

My favorite chapter title form BOOK9 is Chapter 12. "Nothing Good Comes from Nothing Good"--that may ring true for the lives of many in Welshport, but I hope BOOK9 proves to be the opposite & not just Good but G R E A T. I'm very excited to begin sharing the story in April!

@Variety can they not shop it around if HULU won't order?

Sarah Michelle Gellar breaks her silence on the “Buffy” reboot cancellation, blaming it on one executive who’s “not a fan of the original.” "No one saw this coming, including the head of Searchlight. I got the call as we were stepping onto stage for the premiere of their own movie. And it’s also the weekend of Chloé [Zhao] going to the Oscars as a best director nominee for Hamnet. For them to call us on the Friday of what should have been Chloé’s victory lap for an incredible film, and my world premiere of something that I worked very hard for is… That says something." "We had an executive on our show who was not only not a fan of the original, but was proud to constantly remind us that he had never seen the entirety of the series and how it wasn’t for him,” she said. “That’s very hard when you’re taking a property that is as beloved as Buffy, not just to the world, but to me and Chloé. So that tells you the uphill battle that we had been fighting since day one, when your executive is literally proud to tell you that he didn’t watch it." variety.com/2026/more/news…

@olderbrother21 Hey Terrell! Happy Oscar Sunday! I don’t think I’m a good enough writer to keep series going all year so yes I do try & mix both styles: fast paced to keep things moving & exciting. Then slow burn to have something to leave as a cliffhanger to pick up in the next book.

@BenightBeguile Good afternoon & Happy Sunday Funday! I hope you're enjoying this special celebration! I have a special question for you. Do you consider the character-driven storytelling in #Benight to be both fast-paced & slow-burn?

@olderbrother21 Hi! I don’t know yet — I’m still writing Book9 🥰 But I hope so! We’ll see later this year 💜

@BenightBeguile Good evening & Happy Super Saturday! I hope you have such a meaningful weekend! I have a special question for you. Is Book 10 gonna be full of shocking new moments that will keep readers on the edge of their seats? #Benight
