Less than 12 hours til A Vow to Heal is out! 🤩
This is the 1st of a spinoff series from The Orc Prince trilogy featuring elf/orc couples after Taegan & Zorvut's story. If you read the bonus novella Winter's Heat, you've already met Korik - if not, you'll get to know him & Varen soon! 😉#mmromance

A Vow to Heal comes out THIS FRIDAY! 🤩 I'm so excited!
Writing Korik and Varen was so much fun and challenging in the best way as a writer. Plus I got to include SO MANY of my favorite tropes! Like a BIG size difference 🥵

A trope map for A Vow to Heal. The cover is centered in a pale yellow to purple watercolor gradient. In the cover, a fair-skimmed elf with long dark hair in a neat braid smirks up at a taller orc. The elf has his hand under the orc's chin, who is meeting his gaze and blushing.
The cover is surrounded by black text with trope information, which reads:
Out May 16th
High fantasy
Arrogant elf x shy orc
Size Difference
Forced Proximity
Trapped together in a snowstorm
Spinoff series
Slow Burn

A link to the book is included at the bottom in black text: books.lionelhart.ink/heal

I'm hoping this gives me more time to write but tbh so far I have mostly been decompressing and applying to new jobs, not really writing as much as I could. But I am going to really try and get my next book out quicker now that I have all this unexpected free time! Just need to manage it better 😅

Lionel Hart @lionelhart.bsky.social · Apr 25

Okay, so! Book update: the cover should be finalized next week. Preorder should come up shortly after that so I'm PRETTY sure the book should be out by mid-May. I am so so sorry it has taken so long!! Thank you for your patience!!
Personal update: I got laid off at my day job 😭 so... yeah

Thank you so much! Tbh so much has gone wrong with this move already it’s been terrible lmao 🥲 but there is light at the end of the tunnel and the new place is v nice so once we’re fully moved in and settled I will be happy haha

Lionel Hart @lionelhart.bsky.social · Mar 8

But I am dealing with moving as well as some health stuff happening, and just the general state of the world being what it is... So I have NOT gotten as much writing done the past two months as I was aiming for 😔

Sorry for being so quiet lately, I'm hoping to have more (good) news soon 💚

Lionel Hart @lionelhart.bsky.social · Mar 8

I gotta tell ya... The past couple weeks have been rough 💀 I was hoping to have a book on preorder/about to release by now but the cover is taking longer than expected, luckily once it's done everything should fall into place pretty quickly...

Me? Writing?? Nah I can only get dopamine from Infinity Nikki right now. Books are gonna have to wait (this is a joke I am still releasing a book soon but it IS true that I have been playing a lot more video games than writing lately, I'm a trans person in the US I'm allowed rn 😭)

This is absolutely crucial advice. Read it. Read it again. Repeat it to yourself. Do not allow yourself to be overloaded. OVERLOAD IS A DELIBERATE TACTIC.

Very good advice to find after a day of doomscrolling
