Hi! I’m Petra and I’m from the PNW. Welcome to my free newsletter. 😀 I’m an indie author, storyteller, sometimes poet and essayist, lover of vegan chocolate cake, and drinker of tea.

I write across genres and my stories are usually about chosen family and figuring out what it means to be human.

My first novel Manly Hero is co-written with my husband Adam Lombard. And will be released in 2026. It’s a cozy adventure fantasy novel and we can’t wait for you to read it!

I also host February Poetry Adventure here on Substack.

Lastly, I have TBR piles I will never summit, I adore puns (you’ve been warned), I love The Vampire Diaries & Gilmore Girls, am super into F1 and Lego, and I am very opinionated about tea.

Choose Your Own Adventure!

Like me, Petra Glyphs is comprised of several different facets:

  • My Newsletter is sent out once a month, has a few of my personal musings, and will keep you up to date on my novels-in-progress.

  • Stories is where I’ll post my short stories. I write in multiple genres so expect a smörgåsbord of themes and styles. These will be posted without rhythm, reason, or rhyme.

  • Also posted without much rhyme, Poems. I’ll share my poems and perhaps a few, brief thoughts about writing them. It’s also where you can find the current and past February Poetry Adventures.

All of my posts are free. And there is never any pressure to upgrade to a paid subscription. If you enjoy my writing and want to throw a buck or two into my virtual tip jar you can buy me a tea. 😀

As an indie author your support really means a lot to me so thanks for following along. Also, it is important to me that your time is respected, so, feel free to select whichever of the above sections you want to follow, and leave the rest behind. It’s a bit complicated, but Adam (my partner and tech unicorn 🦄) has created this lovely how-to on managing your subscription.

Manage Your Subscription

If You Choose The Paid Subscription Option…

… you have made my month! Being an indie author means that I am out here hustling to try and make a living putting words on paper. And if you have the extra money and would like to support me in this dream, that is amazing!!!

Or, instead of subscribing, you can Buy Me A Tea! For as little as $1 you can throw a tip into my virtual tip jar to let me know you’ve enjoyed something I’ve shared here.

If The Paid Option Isn’t For You Right Now…

… no worries! Subscribing to this newsletter and liking and commenting on my posts are all amazing and beautiful ways of supporting me and I am so grateful for each and every one of them and each and every one of you!
