Querying my debut novel is exciting & terrifying & like shouting into the void & hoping the literary gods reply.

First in a fantasy romance quadrilogy, featuring:

🪕 A demon-touched bisexual bard
⚔️ A serious half-orc paladin
🖤 Queer joy + slow burn tension

Hey #BluePitHype!

Meet Rivine, my demon-touched bard main character.

Her role model is her dad. He went missing, presumed dead, 10 years ago, and her world fell apart.

But he taught her kindness, empathy, & steadfastness. To face her fears & stand up to danger. To wield & kill with a rapier.
A woman with blue skin, horns, and a tail. There is a darker blue tattoo wrapped around her arm and shoulder. Her hair is purple. She is wearing a bright pink and dark purple vest, grey trousers, and dark purple boots. She is holding a lute, and has a rapier strapped to her hip. Behind her is a large brown dog (similar to a mastiff) with its tongue sticking out.

Happy Love Day 🩷

I'm delighted to share this art of a swoony and tender scene from my upcoming short story, Death and Second Chances.

The artist I commissioned NAILED this! The placement of the weapons, the soft smoke from the candles, and the stark intimacy of the scene.

A little WIP Wednesday for you 🩷

Because I wrote this little squee-worthy scene yesterday and HAD to share.
White text on a blue and green gradient background that reads: "So, what's with you and Grenar?” The elf asked, pulling her knees to her chin and eyeing Rivine. Rivine refused to acknowledge the flush that crept up her neck. “What do you mean?” “What do you mean, ‘what do I mean?’” Kealyn laughed. “I see the way you look at him.” “You what? No. You're mistaken; I'm not looking at him anyway.” Except his arse, maybe. “We just met a few days ago ourselves. I think he's… fascinating. But in an ‘I want to chronicle his life’ kind of way. That's all.” That’s all.

Winter scenes and coffee fuel to crack out 2100 words during my writing date today!

Got an entire CHAPTER written 🙌
A laptop with chapter 15 in the foreground, beside a black and white decorated cup of coffee, a notebook with some scribbled words, and a green fern. In the background is a snowy scene with trees and, in the distance, a brick bandstand.

I love being at the lake and hearing the coyotes at night.

My first #FridayKiss
Prompt: Lover

“It’s over. This is your last chance.” Grenar’s words were cold. Rivine tore her gaze away from Merlo to look at her lover. There was pain on his face, too. His eyes were shadowed, his mouth a thin line. He didn’t want to do this.

Naming a song my bard will sing in the future, but predictive text has other ideas of who she is as a person.

I fear I may have to tone down her thirst in these first chapters 🤣🙈
