Just had a very weird writing moment. I started reading the document I had open, thinking it was one project, and it was another, the moment of confusion was real and it was weird.

Well, I have a book for you.

#WIPSnips 29 September 'well'

My favourite thing about this novella is these two characters trying to outmanoeuvre each other.

#WriteSky #indiefantasy #WritingCommunity 💙🪐📚
Wipsnips 29 September prompt 'well' They matched stares over the diplomatic plateau of her second-best tea service. Eventually, Hailene asked, “Is that a threat, Ambassador? Because I can assure you, I’m perfectly capable of dealing with Alyas’s temper tantrums.” He shrugged elegantly. “He’s your nephew.” “Yes,” she agreed, setting down her cup. “He is. More to the point, all Cassana has done—all she will do—is attend Elidne-Sera’s garden parties, along with every other woman of consequence in Avarel. And if you have ever tried to prise the details of those parties from the ladies involved, you will know as well as I that what goes on there is not shared with their menfolk.” “And what exactly does go on?” “A different kind of powerbroking.” He quirked a polite eyebrow. She smiled. “Just so, Ambassador. So you see, there really is no need to scuff those pretty boots hiding in my flower beds.” He looked down and swore.

Why I write the Stories I do

#booksky #FantasyBooks #IndieFantasy #CharacterDrivenFantasy #FoundFamily
Text: Why I Write the Stories I Do I think, underneath the fantasy, my books are about people becoming who they are. I write about ordinary people carrying more than they expected, trying to find their place in the world without losing themselves to it. I'm drawn to the way other people shape us, how love, friendship, family, loss and responsibility leave pieces behind, and how sometimes the things that hurt us become part of what makes us who we are. I like power to have a cost, monsters to have once been human, and the truth to be more complicated than people were taught. My characters often want freedom, the open road and the chance to choose their own lives, but they usually discover that meaning comes from the people they choose to care about and the responsibilities they're willing to carry. I suppose, more than anything, I write about connection, identity and impermanence: the fact that nothing lasts forever, but that doesn't make it meaningless. It might be exactly what makes it matter.

#WIPSnips 28 September - I don't have 'prime' so I have gone with 'first'.

Two of my favourite side characters have their own adventure in this novella in my Tales of Isyr series.

#WriteSky #indiefantasy #WritingCommunity 💙🪐📚
WIPSnips excerpt for 28 September - 'first' instead of 'prime' “Would your brother accept anything less?” “No,” Cassana admitted. “I don’t think he would. But why exclude him if we need his help? “Because, my dear, everyone knows that your brother is Diago’s spy. It has been useful from time to time—we have done each other the occasional favour—but do not mistake mutual advantage for mutual purpose. His first loyalty is to his king, and he will act in Flaeres’s interests. Should that conflict with ours, do you want to make him choose between his sister and his king?” “Why would we be in conflict? Melar is no friend to the syndicates. He would gladly help us set their plans back.” “Of course,” Hailene agreed calmly, “but in this case I believe it is Raffa who needs to learn the error of his ways, and blackmailing one’s own king should be a rather more private matter, don’t you think?”

Excited to reveal the plot of Blanc LaBelle and the Innocent Vampire! With the events of Book 1 at a close, we pick up 6 months later: just in time for another mystery! #BlancLaBelle #IndieBooks #Sequel #IndieFantasy #UrbanFantasy
A red/white background and a yellow runic circle with two dots on the circle edge. Blanc LaBelle and the Innocent Vampire: Mira fears she has traded one prison for another. While she is grateful to be free of the trolls, living with LaBelle’s protections feels smothering. Out of the Under, Mira wants to prove she’s ready to live in the Above. Her chance comes when one of LaBelle’s old allies is accused of murder. Certain there’s been a mistake, LaBelle fights to prove that his friend is innocent. Mira tags along to prove to LaBelle (and herself) that she’s earned some more freedom in her new home.Meanwhile, Matt is living between the Above and the Under. When the dangers of the magical world become clear, Matt wonders where his duty lies: keeping the secrets of the Under safe or protecting his loved ones in the Above. LaBelle’s case has the potential to bring out the best and the worst of each of them. A life is on the line and survival depends on the trio working together again.

It's Book Quote Wednesday and the word is KNEW/KNOW

Here's an excerpt from The Siege of Druine, which fills in some important backstory about the characters in The Many Shades of Midnight - it's also free to download on my newsletter.

#bookqw #writingcommunity #indiefantasy 💙🪐📚
Front cover and excerpt from The Siege of Druine for Book Quote Wednesday prompt KNEW/KNOW “I knew your father. Did you know that?” There was a knife in those words. Storn saw it in the way Alyas froze, colour leaving his face. Haki tilted his head, taking in the reaction the other man was too tired to hide, and he thrust that knife deeper. “I was there when he won from the emperor the right to claim any reward he could name. He named the Ado blades.” It was only because Storn was watching so closely that he caught the tiny twitch at those words. Haki was watching just as intently. He laughed. “Oh yes, your father asked for them. He never told you that, did he? We all expected the emperor to strike him down for his presumption. Those blades were the greatest prize in all of Qido. But do you know what he did? He begged your father to choose something else, anything else. He shamed us all that day, begging a foreigner, and he did it not to preserve a national heirloom, but because he said the blades were cursed.”
