Springtime

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.

Dark and Stormy

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?

Spring is Just Around the Corner

I'm eagerly waiting for the warmer months and the beauty of spring. I can't wait to get back to blooms, blossoms, and boisterous sunsets - like this one! The change in atmosphere makes me feel more productive, and I'm happy to report the third book is coming along just fine. I was doing some soft edits the other day and got caught in reading the actual story! Which is a great thing because this one isn't coming as easily as Night Ascending.

I've been toying with names though, and I think I'm getting closer to something that fits perfectly, but we're still a long way away from any reveals.

What would you guys like to see revealed first about the third book? Couple? Title? Themes? Leave me a note below ⬇️!
