From the canopy now consuming the sky descends tendrils that envelop living creatures in blood-draining cocoons. Narrowly escaping the clutches of the fleshy vines himself, Charles must find a way to save his family from The Sinew Tree.

Sovereign Echoes Part One

The right of succession is often written in blood. With his kingdom on the brink of ruin, Alexander leads a rebellion, putting an end to his father’s tyranny once and for all. Thinking the worst is behind them, the citizens of Lagaundriel move forward into a new age of prosperity.

But keeping the sins of the past buried is no simple task. When it seems the palace itself begins speaking to Alexander, he finds himself struggling not to retrace the steps of his predecessor.

Hello,

My name is T. E. Woodard

And I welcome you to my small plot of the internet. I’m a horror author with a penchant for scarring the minds of characters and allowing discomfort to linger for both them and my audience. There are fates far worse than death, after all.

All of my e-format works are available for free, typically through PDF downloads or the occasional post on other websites. Enjoyment of literature shouldn’t be gated by economic factors, so read and share to your heart’s content. I do also have paperback/hardback versions available of some things for about as low-cost as I can reasonably make them if that’s your sort of thing.

Social Media

I’ve fallen off of social media for the most part after realizing I spent way too much time on it. That said, if you want to follow me on them, I’d prefer you at least have the correct links on the off chance someone tries to impersonate me.
