To the Sky #Kickstarter pre-launches very soon! (I'm aiming for Friday, but I have some things holding me up. Fingers crossed, please)

Here's a sneak peek of the book's description. Keep an eye out of you're interested!

#romantasy #booksky #WritingCommunity
a brown background with text that reads: Magic is banned in Winderia as it's the closest location to The Everreach where Vapors—ghosts, imps, and worse—reside and occasionally pour from to disrupt the world. Princess Tessa has grown up in Windfall, the capital of Winderia, and is expected to marry soon as her aging father wants a successor. Since Tessa has been reluctant up to now to find a proper husband, her parents announce her engagement to Lord Xensor, the king's advisor. Tessa is distraught and runs away from home. Meanwhile, Captain James finds himself at a job auction where the auctioneer offers up a job from the royal family—confidential, of course, but there are whispers of the missing princess. James jumps on this one with images of the grateful princess dancing through his mind. Craven is sent in secret by Lord Xensor to bring Tessa home, too. Maybe ransom her back to the royal family and make Lord Xensor look useful. Will Captain James get to Tessa first? Will they fly away and have all the adventures in the world? Or will Craven catch her and bring her back to marry the evil Lord Xensor?

A quote from my current draft of To the Sky, my princess x sky pirate fantasy book

Coming to #Kickstarter in July! (pre-launch in February)

#booksky #WriteSky #WritingCommunity
Roses in the background with white text on a pink rectangle that reads: To the Sky: Chapter 5 Beta Draft 2. Her big eyes turned to James. “Have you ever been in love? With anyone other than Coincidence, of course.” She laughed at her own joke, but James felt it was a leading question. Still, he answered it. “I’ve never had the time, no. I don’t stay anywhere long enough to fall in love. My life is too complicated for that.” From an open chest, James removed a glass, white dove. He handed it over to Tessa. “You may keep that,” he said. “As a token of our time together.” Tessa flushed once again. But she plowed on. “I’ve never been in love, either,” she said. “But I’m betrothed.” “That must be hard,” James said absentmindedly as he examined a golden globe. He spun it, letting it land on the kingdom of Winderia before spinning it again.

But when Beatrice returns transformed into a flawless, autonomous healer, Benedict is left abandoned in her shadow. However, her newfound perfection reeks of something unholy, and the darkness clinging to her is beginning to stir.

Four-hundred and ninety-six, his traitorous brain reminded him. He’d looked into people’s eyes, out of sight in some roost, and snuffed out lives he’d never meet. When he could, though his victims would never know, he’d spend their final breaths with them. Watched their lips turn blue, bodies becoming one with the refuse littering Lafayette’s ruined streets.

So yesterday, I got an email that my job has been eliminated. handled by AI now.

I don't know what to do, so I've set up a ko-fi page. I'm offering ghostwriting services but also accepting tips. I have a number of bills coming due and I'm at a loss.

Please repost if you know anyone interested!

Snippet from To the Sky, currently chapter 7 but we'll see what the edits think

#Kickstarter launches in July! I'll set up the pre-launch very soon~

black background with white text that reads: James thumped the table and Tessa jumped in fright. “Perfect! Now, I have things I need to be doing. Jonathan, I was in the middle of giving Tessa a tour of the ship. Would you mind picking up where I left off?” Jonathan stood with his tray. “Sure thing, Captain. Let me just take care of this first.” He walked away towards the trash and bussing table. James turned to Tessa, brimming with joy at the fact that he’d just pawned her off on someone else without a fight. At least, he’d hoped. She frowned at him. “You were supposed to give me the tour. Now you’re sending me away?” she said. Her voice sounded hurt.

black background with white text that reads: The next job was an advertisement for the Winderian navy. Windfall, the capital of Winderia, was also the home to the Winderian navy; it made sense they’d contract soldiers from there. There was no freedom in being a soldier, though. James wasn’t interested.
