I'm listening through Tales of Lunis Aquaria, Vol 2 as a last check.

This volume has eight new stories set in Lunis Aquaria, pick a number between 1 and 8 and I'll give a non-spoilery snippet from the story of your choice!

(if someone picks the same number, I'll post a different line)

I know this won't last but these numbers make me proud. I've worked very hard to become a better writer and people take see the results with my lastest release <3

I'm proud of past me. You did the work and it shows.

I found friends in the wild (at the American Book Center)

Wooing the Witch Queen by @stephanieburgis.bsky.social is a staff pick
Lightfall by @edcrockerbooks.bsky.social was the last copy. Obviously, they should order more.

If you enjoyed A Dress To Kill For, A Dress To Save Me is another story set in the same series.

This one has has more potential triggers so be warned before diving in. I added them to the alt text of the cover.

For those who've read A Dress to Kill For, should I make the second story more gory? Or stick with the same levels?

You can still read it for free on itch (narratess.itch.io/a-dress-to-k...) or pick it up for 99 cents if you want to support me (books2read.com/AD2K4)
