Just in case people want something to read over the weekend, my first book The Assassins Raven is available on Amazon.
📚 💙

A female assassin joins a quest she does not want, and gets more than she bargains for.

A mix of cozy fantasy, horror, adventure, comedy, and romance.

#WIPSnips The word for November 24th is 'debut'. After shaking out a bag of synonyms I've got 'beginning' instead. 'The Book of Ashes', Chapter 2, 'Pilgrims'. Paul Brotherwell and Michelle De La Croix are making an attempt at learning how to work together.

One of my side characters is going through so much in my WIP, I feel like I now owe him an HEA at the end just so he's ok about it all. 😬

I hate the FMC to enjoy killing because of trauma in her past from a parent dying or being an orphan, so she has the opposite. And every time she introduces someone to her family they keep being surprised she has one.

Anti-tropes: what are some tropes that you've purposefully avoided in your WIP? OR, are there any tropes that you've put a twist on?

Not a ton of time for self-promo lately, but . . . here are my books! Two of them! Whole books with themes and characters and shit--they even have beginnings, middles, and ends!

I feel this very much!

The hardest part about writing a Fantasy with fight scenes is figuring out where all the weapons are at any given time.

My antagonist is a cute little Chihuahua, looks cute and friendly, but is really not!

Do you want superheroes and gender messiness?

Gender bending technology lets our MC get around his fear of girls with a less scary dating alternative. Only to slowly realise his cute date is the city's strongest hero.

Has anyone else in the #WritingCommunity signed up to participate in the @itch.io Black Friday Creator Day Sale/Promotion?

I got a few sales from them the last time they ran a promotion for Halloween. I listed Alien Exploration and Kranlian Rendezvous for a 60% off bundle.
