Am very shy to promote my published book but I'm putting my big boy pants on and doing it now
If you're looking for a good holiday read The Weight Of The World is a fairytale full of whimsy, blood bonds, and messages of hope and healing! 💙

My manuscript takes place during the summer but this scene gives off December vibes. The end of something with the promise of something new in the future…

UPDATE! 🌹🎉

I realize not many people have access to much right now, so I put the eBook version of Beyond The Mark down to the lowest I could on Amazon, which is $0.99

Hope this helps it become more accessible, I'd rather continue the story than make money, so I hope you enjoy!

#Fantasy #Author
A stylized cover art for the book titled "Beyond the Mark: Ashes of the Hero," featuring a silhouette of a cloaked figure in a dark, magical forest. The figure, shrouded in shadow, is holding a glowing sword with a vibrant red hue. Intricate patterns adorn the figure's cloak, evoking a sense of mystery and fantasy. The background showcases an eerie forest with bare, twisted trees and ethereal lights, creating a mystical and foreboding atmosphere. In the distance, a castle with spires looms against a pale, glowing sky, adding a sense of adventure and danger to the scene. The title is prominently displayed at the top in bold, stylized lettering, with a vivid gradient effect that contrasts with the darker tones of the artwork. The overall composition conveys themes of heroism, darkness, and a journey into the unknown.

Two paintings of women reading. Caption: My favourite category of painting is "portrait of an introvert who snuck out of the party she was forced to attend to go read in a quiet room somewhere" also known as me every holiday season.

American author Anne Rice died #OTD in 2021.

One of the best-selling authors of all time, she permanently changed what a vampire was allowed to be with The Vampire Chronicles. #gothic #fiction #booksky
Portrait of author Anne Rice with shoulder-length silver-gray hair and bangs, wearing a black turtleneck and a sparkling multi-strand necklace, smiling gently at the camera. To her right are the covers of two of her famous novels: "Interview with the Vampire" in gothic red and gold lettering on a cream background, and "The Vampire Lestat" with a stylized white and gold design featuring an Egyptian-inspired figure.

With the release of my 5th novel today -- after a 10+ year hiatus from writing -- it's time to start plotting a sequel. Never tried a sequel before. This ought to be interesting.
