It was 10:21, so you figured why not just another hour and forty minutes more and just wait to get out in the afternoon.

Lovely Autumn day outside. Not too cold, not too warm. Reds, Oranges, & Yellows in the spotlight of the rising sun. It's relaxing and inspiring.

Now to add anxiety to the mix: Do I work on my synopsis, a new short story, or continue my WIP novel?

First World Problems, I guess.

I liked the movie. I liked the songs. I love that my youngest is obsessed with them... but I would very much like to get KPop Demon Hunters songs out of my head.

Golden is on repeat inside my skull and I can't replace it with anything else. 😵‍💫

I dream a dream where, in 12 days, readers will have The First Sin in hand, whether via ebook or print, and some will choose to carry it with them on their daily commute or to a vacation spot. They'll read it and they'll love it, and they'll say, WOW LOOK AT THAT COVER.

A mockup of The First Sin by Cheyenne Brammah.

In the sweeping expanse of the Årdrakin Empire, the people fight and die for honor as elite warriors of the galaxy. But long ago, a prophecy was spoken that presaged the apocalypse. Everyone knows and fears the truth: one day, the empire will fall.

Tårik is a guard for small, independent Clan Tsinna. Instead of pondering the end of his civilization, Tårik’s greatest concern is maintaining his honor while escorting a group of impertinent dignitaries across the treacherous Barren Gale. When the Mother Goddess speaks a passage from the prophecy to him, he has the good sense to be frightened, but he doesn’t heed the significance of Her visit.

Then disaster strikes, and Tårik is branded as an exile, leaving him with no home, no honor, and no future. Forced into a desperate struggle for survival, all Tårik can focus on is living just one more day until luck—or maybe fate—gives him the opportunity to join a new clan. But even this is fraught with danger and uncertainty, and it takes him to an inhospitable world far from the empire where survival seems all but impossible.

Faced with new challenges, including trying to navigate first contact with the low-tech locals, Tårik believes the prophecy can’t reach him. Yet it continues to loom, signaling that his fate and the fate of the empire are irrevocably entwined.

My ex (27M) & I (27F) haven’t spoken in a decade. But now we’re on our publisher's version of Love Island & we're a pair. I hate him, he’s begging for a 2nd chance. AITA if I give him the second chance despite keeping our daughter a secret?

For Toast, guarding a sentient forest means “weird” is an average Tuesday, and “nightmare” is an aesthetic. But as Toast struggles to save the forest’s latest victim, he instead finds himself the target of its gruesome hunger.

He might survive.

But not as himself.
