Haint Blue Creative®
Haint Blue Creative® is a space for readers and storytellers to explore, learn, and create. I'm Amanda Hughes, but you can call me Mandy. I'm a storyteller, visual and instructional designer, and tarot enthusiast... and I'm so glad you're here. I specialize in creating resources to support fiction writers and I craft stories that haunt the heart.
Everything I publish is FREE to read and enjoy. Here’s what I’m offering ALL Subscribers:
A Tarot Card a Month and how it can be viewed through a storyteller’s lens.
Lessons from Mystic Storyteller – Each month, I’m sharing a lesson directly from my new book and demonstrating how to use it for storytelling. Lessons will include a writing-related topic and/or a tarot spread activity.
Novel Writing Checklist – Want to write a novel but not sure where to begin? This checklist walks fiction writers through all the steps to help you get started.
The Writing Magick Series – Musings on fiction writing topics to sharpen your tools and spark magick into your craft. Series includes complimentary activities, workbooks, and more.
NaNoWriMo* Series – Weekly offerings throughout the month of October to help fiction writers prepare to participate in November’s National Novel Writing Month challenge.
First looks at new books and fiction writer resources.
FREE books and resource offerings.
Coming soon - An invitation to follow my journey as I pen a 7-book multigenre fiction series.
*Haint Blue Creative® is not affiliated with the organization by this same name. Mandy is merely using the acronym to represent November’s National Novel Writing Month activities.
Here’s my bio
In her more than thirty years as a storyteller and visual designer, Amanda “Mandy” Hughes has written and designed over a dozen works of literary, Southern Gothic, and women’s fiction under pen name A. Lee Hughes. She also uses the tarot to inspire storytelling, and her book Mystic Storyteller: A Writer’s Guide to Using the Tarot for Creative Inspiration and companion tarot deck are helping her peers do exactly that.
Mandy is the founder of Haint Blue Creative®, a space for readers and storytellers to explore, learn, and create. She holds a Bachelor and Master of Science in Psychology, and she has worked as an instructional designer for over twenty years.
When she’s not writing, Mandy enjoys the movies, theater, music, traveling, nature walks, birdwatching, and bingeing The Office. She lives in Georgia with her husband and four sons, two of whom are furrier than the others (but not by much). Visit her website at www.haintbluecreative.com and find her on Substack @HaintBlueCreative.
