Graphic saying: Daughter of the Eyolas Tree
By Sunny J Rowley
- 78,000 words Adult Fantasy
When the past is so deeply rooted, can you truly change the branches of the future?

Graphic saying: Blurb
Between attending pre-med class, diving practice, and completing course work, Alina Kavenaugh doesn't have time to decipher the meaning behind her reoccurring dream of a strange places and mysterious people.
But after she is accidentally pulled into the university diving pool. Allie finds herself in Uain - a different world where her violet eyes identify her as a Seer, a dangerous race of individuals that can see the past, present and future. And who haven't been seen for the past 200 year.
Now in the custody of the handsome young King De Von, she must search for a way home while also unraveling a mysterious threat to the crown, and the history of her own lineage.

Graphic with the words: First Lines of
Daughter of the Eyolas Tree
Without looking up from reading her textbook, Alina Kavenaugh reached forward and lifted her open water bottle into the air, just seconds before a pair of trays landed on the dining hall table in front of her. Unfazed by the loud entrance, she finished reading the sentence before turning her violet eyes to look up at her room-mate, raising an eyebrow as she did.

A quote from my current #workinprogress. I am so excited to share this story with everyone soon.

Dark green background with five images, one of a notebook, one of an old building, one of vampire fangs, one of police tape, one with a cat in front of books, and one of a stack of playing cards. In the centre is text that says:
It was akin to the smell of earth during a rain.
Petrichor, one side of her brain supplied, while the otherside screamed the word magic. Project Sin

While my writing has been off lately, I have still been working on Project Epic. I am in the process of creating a playlist and am looking for songs that fit this vibe. If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them.

Currently, slowly, working my way through editing Project Sins, my current #WIP. This was my favourite quote from my editing session, so had to share.

Complete wrap up of my Cymera haul. I had such an amazing time. It was my first bookish festival. Every panel was amazing and I had to buy the books these authors spoke so enthusiastically about. I want to learn the craft from these amazing story tellers.

My husband doesn’t use BlueSky, so I’m safe to ask all of Booksky….
How do I get away with spending money on bookish things at @cymerafestival.co.uk this weekend?
I’m suppose to be on a book buying ban but BOOK FESTIVAL!

Update time. Wanted to share a few WIP updates for #wipwednesday to let you know I am still writing, even though I can’t decide what to work on next.
Would love to know what you would like to see me work on?

@cymerafestival.co.uk is next week, and I am so excited.
BUT
I do not yet have everything planned, so I’m also so stressed.

I have been focusing on organisation recently. I need order in my life, and that includes my writing life. I wanted to share some of my favourite tools for keeping my writing life on track.
