Fate of the Storm, the 8th and final book of my Demon Storm series, is complete.

It took us twenty years, but we did it ⚡

Velthas has risen... can Kari stop him, or will she succumb to his call?

Omg OOF it's been too many days...

Ilsa's goal is to be a supreme ruler.

Vasthra's goal is to overthrow Ilsa.

Jact's goal is to be rid of the system altogether.

I loooove scary things! Horror movies are my relaxing time 😂 Brianna would, too - she'd love to sit around a campfire and hear creepy stories, then going to bed scared (or having to act tough for her friend Aya, who would be a huge wimp)

Thank you so much for saying so, Aki ❤️❤️❤️

I'm Valerie Storm and I'm still poking at Value of Life, Brianna's story and the second prequel to my main series.

That gives me some hope 🥲

Valerie Storm 📚 @valeriestorm.bsky.social · 8d

I'm trying not to be harsh on myself for the progress (or lack thereof) on Brianna's story 🥲 I edited maybe 2-3 chapters this month, and they were big edits! Onto the next...

YES 😭😭😭

Valerie Storm 📚 @valeriestorm.bsky.social · 9d

Brianna leans extrovert, though she's really only comfortable with a handful of people.

I'm allllmost halfway through some heavy edits of Brianna's story. After that, I'd like to have a lovely friend beta it before I finish fixing it.

It's a long way from publishing, but I'm having fun~

A snippet! Last time worked for me to edit a scene, so let's see if it works again...

During this rewrite, the background characters finally have some life and existence. It's been occasionally troublesome but also amazing ❤️‍🔥

#fantasyindiesseptember

Darik jerked his head in a vague direction. “It’s obvious that big one likes you.” He wrinkled his nose, and Brianna lifted her upper lip in disgust. “We should use that to our advantage.”
“What does that mean?” Brianna asked. Beside her, Aya shifted and sat up.
“Don’t be dense,” Leo said. “You’re a woman—he wants you for a reason.”
“And a halfling,” Vita added in slow, quiet tones. Brianna had not heard him speak often, but got the impression this was his usual way of talking. “You’re one of them, aren’t you? We can use that.”
“She is not one of them,” Kamari interjected hotly. “She is an Osu, approved by our Chieftain! Hold your tongue, Vita!”

Absolutely! And maybe Brianna would have been more social, too 🤭

Valerie Storm 📚 @valeriestorm.bsky.social · 12d

😂😂 Sometimes I imagine putting her and a young Kari together to see what would happen, just some weird AU stuff

I'm looking forward to getting some writing time the next couple of weeks...if I can just motivate myself to do it 😂

25 I DIDNT FORGET 🥲🥲:
Brianna's favorite subject would be anything with crafts, specifically creating weapons or something useful for hunting.
