Was the sea witch really the villain? What if the wolf was Red Riding Hood’s fated mate? What if Rapunzel’s daughter were a shapeshifter? What if The Pied Piper’s song gave adults a voice kink? Well… #booksky #monsterromance storyoriginapp.com/collections/...

'Genie Make a Wish' is making me want to write... things. Lol.

Goddess flame
We've lost the fight
To Sessrúmnir
We bid goodnight
Freyja's sight
She sees us fall
For soon we die
Both one and all
Now heed the call
Oh Vanir child
Beneath gray skies
Both cold & wild
The Gods hath smiled
With frosty breath
Take up your swords
And laugh at death

The most popular lines from Star-Crossed WIP so far, according to early readers. Lace is capable in a hundred different ways...but not so much behind the wheel.

Top text: Star-Crossed WIP, an epic science fantasy romantasy

Centered text:
My rover is closer, smaller but more than enough. Some of these things come large enough to carry six people and their equipment, but this is made for one or two—and it’s as big as anything I want to drive. The last thing I want is to create more problems with the Mage Council for myself because I crashed some oversized rover. Again.
