I've been thinking of writing a crime fiction/urban fantasy story that's structured like Law & Order Special Victims Unit (I've been watching that show for the past few weeks) but the setting is in the USA (no duh) and the characters are from Exodus so it's a spinoff of Self-Image.

Sharp suit, sharper secrets — Ritsu hides six centuries of blood, death, and despair.
👼 Blessed by an Angel, cursed with immortality
🖤 Wears a black suit to hide her past

Peter Sage doesn’t have time for this urban fantasy nonsense.

👮 Chief of Police, Antioch PD — father of Kathleen and Iris, the man who keeps order
🙏 A Godfather who doesn’t believe in God — raised Benjamin after her mother’s death

I despise how books with low effort/AI front covers get more acclaim and recognition than my genuinely made front cover. Aren’t we supposed to award hard work over copouts?

A friend told me that I’ve already done the hardest part of marketing a book: writing the actual book. Everything else is a cake walk.

Raven is the last person you’d want to be around. The epitome of chaos, freedom… and yet loneliness.

🗡️Fluent in sarcasm, her words cut sharper than knives
👜Oversized hoodie, inked-out skin–half mystery, half warning label
❓An amnesiac with an attitude, living like there’s no tomorrow

🎂✨ Happy Birthday to Kathleen Sage–the spark that started Self-Image✨

Here’s some facts about the illusive Miracle of Exodus:
⚡ Akane’s closest friend, Justin’s superior, Benjamin’s ex-girlfriend
⚡ An EMT by day, a soldier by night–saving lives in the hospital, slaying Grievances in the moonlight

Sticks and stones may break your bones, but Justin Alekseev only needs his words.
The perfect mix of “yes sir, I’ll have her home by 7” and “your daughter calls me daddy too.”:

When I'm at home I don't feel like writing but when I'm at my day job I want to write.

Benjamin's the last person you'd find at a party.

Here’s some stuff you’d learn about him—eventually—because he’s too socially anxious to tell you himself:

🎂 It’s Akane’s birthday—and she’s got a bit of suppressed rage.

Here’s some art + facts about Akane, one of the main characters of Self-Image:

🌺 Born in Hawaii
🏄 Loves spearfishing and surfing
🍙 Devours spam musubi with her Unko
⚔️ Slays Grievances

Self-Image is not your typical urban fantasy.

Grief, angst, and spirituality collide in this epic literary debut.

Self-Image depicts a cynical look on how we see ourselves and the fractured world around us.
