I can't focus on any writing when I'm too stressed 😬 I won't make any progress in any of my wips until my guests have arrived safe and sound for the wedding - I know I can't control this but I just can't relax knowing how long I've planned this, all the $ spent and guests who might not make it :(

The least fun part about writing this new historical fantasy wip is trying to think of a title when I've only written 4 chapters but I hate calling it my new historical fantasy WIP and I WANT TO GIVE IT A NAME darn it

So many people are flying in for my wedding next weekend and I don't even know for sure if they'll make it due to the government shut down and how it affects airports. I'm so worried and sad :(

Your friendly semi-regular reminder that the single greatest way to help your favorite authors is to rate and review the books you've read. Goodreads, Itch, Kindle, they all give you the opportunity to rate/review and it REALLY helps us get visibility!

GRIM PORTENTS

HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE X CONSTANTINE

A man is murdered by a hell-beast on his wedding day. Now, with the help of the reaper who collected his soul, he must uncover who is releasing monsters from Hell if he wants to return to the life he was robbed of.

#P #F #H #PR #Hu #OWN #questpit

Grim Portents cover featuring a skeleton hand holding a feather and emerging from an open book. The title is on a burning banner that envelops the feather and a large beast looms over it all. At the top, the tagline reads: Welcome to the first day of the end of your life…

Black and white sketch of characters Bill and Sonny. Bill is a dark featured man in a suit and kind of a Mark Ruffalo vibe. Sonny is a rotting corpse man with a cardigan.

"I HAD ALWAYS TOLD MYSELF IT WAS A FIGMENT OF MY IMAGINATION, THE MIND PLAYING TRICKS.
IT WAS JUST A SHADOW. BUT NOW THE MONSTER HAD BEEN GIVEN A NAME, AN IDENTITY.
IT WAS REAL."
Bill Baker wants nothing more than to marry the woman he loves, but when his wedding is interrupted by a rampaging hell-beast, his life is thrown into disarray.
Desperate for a second chance, he will do anything to set his future back on track.
Now, with the help of a soul-collecting reaper named Sonny, he must uncover who is releasing monsters from Hell, in order to earn back the life that was stolen from him and prevent the oncoming end of days.
Faced with the choice between what is right and what is easy, Bill may have to sacrifice all he holds dear for one last shot at life.

Ad for Grim Portents, featuring a print copy of the book and an ebook on an iPhone. A QR code that takes you to my website and the words “Scan to learn more about debut paranormal fantasy novel Grim Portents” below it. Under that, it says “Available online anywhere books are sold!” And above it all is the tagline “Welcome to the first day of the end of your life”

SIX OF CROWS X WHAT WAKES THE BELLS

After his sister is cursed by a vengeful goddess, a former pickpocket must steal a relic from the most powerful man in the city to save her. But he can’t pull it off alone, and not everyone in his ragtag crew can be trusted.

#QuestPit #NA #F #BVM #POC #Q #Heist

Left to right.

Top row: A foggy city with a spire in the background. The hands of a clock approaching 12. Smoke from an explosive in a building.

Middle row: A man in a waistcoat pointing at something. “Tick… Tock…” A man in a waistcoat sitting down.

Bottom row: Silver coins covered in blood. A group of people standing inside a clock tower. Rain on a cobblestone street.

Listen, I'm a small-time author. I don't expect much.

It would be nice to sell a few copies of my book.

I'd love to see it in libraries.

Maybe get a movie deal.

Some merch would be cool.

And of course I'd like a theme park based on my books.

That's it, really.

My fiancé needed to see a friend who is moving across the country soon, which meant a quick road trip to Portola, which meant a new photo session for me & my books with the beautiful fall scenery 😍

Watched 1st 2 episodes of Witcher s4, my thoughts:

- nope, still not OK with Liam; maybe a few more episodes?
- as someone who read the books, I'm... happy with the story?
- squealed a little when Regis was introduced
- squealed a little more when my fiancé figured out about Regis

I wish I could tell you that I spent this extra day off productively but in fact I only stayed in this position for about an hour before getting lazy and not writing anything 🤷🏼‍♀️
