For the next few weeks on my Instagram I'll be running some fun polls, which will help you revisit some of the finer things about The Guards of Nightfall series so far. Use the link at the top of the page to take you there to participate. I look forward to reading the results and the discussion bound to take place in the comments!

Every spring I get a little boost in inspiration. The bright greens and vibrant pinks of new life, the passing of torrential rainstorms, the birdsong, a sloping breeze... The world has finally come back to life. While I'm a fall girly through and through, spring is still beautiful in and of itself. The last two days I've sat down to write it has been raining, and there's nothing more that I love than the sound of rain against the windows while my favorite candle flickers on my bookshelves. This is certainly my happy place; what does yours look like?
The third book continues to meander along. Like the characters it represents it has been, by far, the most stubborn of the series. I'm determined to get it up and running and hopefully to my editor later this year. That's the good and bad about being an indie author - there's no real timeline. I write to write: for fun, for relief, for a break, for the story itself. Having real-life weighing down isn't easy or fun, so I try to take the moments when I can.
Stay tuned for another update next month! Thanks for stopping by.

The next book in The Guards of Nightfall has some darker themes - but don't worry, there's still plenty of romance and slow-burn build that I know you guys love. To whet your appetite a bit, I feel as though this one line alone can surmise the entire book: "You point a weapon at her again and I will sever each and every finger from your hands with a dull butter knife before stuffing them down your throat until you suffocate."
😇
I've definitely had fun with the "touch her and die" trope. Does that little niblet of information narrow the MMC and/or FMC down for you yet? What other tropes do you think are going to present in the third book? Which ones have been your favorite so far?
