Swords, sorcery, and monsters that creep in the dark.
My new romantic fantasy adventure 'Summoning Skies' is out today for the special launch price of 99c! Get it while it's hot :)

The cover of my new book Summoning Skies, showing a pair of wings (The Skies' sigil) and a cloaked figure looking out to a castle in the clouds. Two Goodreads reviews read: 'A twist on the fae realm that I've not come across before' and 'Simple well-written, fast paced, but also with this beautiful slow, slow burn'.

First review for 'Summoning Skies' on Goodreads was five stars 😭and so OF COURSE I made a pretty picture with it. 😍

mock up of my book Summoning Skies, showing a cloaked figure looking at a castle in the clouds. A pair of white wings behind the title. (Thats the sigil of the kingdom.)
Below is a quote from a Goodreads reviewer saying, "Simple, well-written, fast paced, but also with this beautiful slow slow burn." And then 5 stars, because they gave it 5 stars!

Brooding hero in leather pic, with text over the top: Me - swoons over delicious, brooding, dangerous hero. Also me - You don't tell me ANYTHING. And that jacket needs to go to the dry-cleaners, it's got blood all over it. Also your wings are like, shedding everywhere.

Cover of 'Destiny of the Sword' by Tabitha Day. Title over two crossed swords. A female silhouette looks towards a golden light in a forest. That's Ember. She's had a massive adventure over three fast-paced books, and is about to wrap it all up, get the hot fae, and save the world 💕

Cover of 'Betrayal of the Sword' by Tabitha Day, cover designed by GetCovers. Shows two crossed swords (the Kingdom of Swords sigil) in front, and behind, a dragon hovering over snowy mountains.

This is the second in the trilogy and follows the adventures of Ember, a human abducted from earth by a fae prince. It's adventurous and spicy, and there are centaurs and dragons :)

Picture of Scrivener notes box that says 'Listen, future me, This chapter was so tough and I didn't want to do it. I wrote it in 200 words spurts. Sorry it's bad. :('

I'm currently on bulky second draft edits and I'd like to reassure past me that it wasn't that bad after all.

The cover of the third book in the 'Kingdom of Swords' trilogy. It shows a mysterious fae forest with a hooded figure gazing at a bright light in the distance. I can tell you that the hooded figure is Ember, she fell off her dragon, and now she's lost in the Kingdom of Seeds' jungle. She's likely going to be murdered by either fae or wild beasties, but I can neither confirm nor deny this theory.

Making maps is not procrastination! It's almost like writing. Almost. 🫠

(Inkarnate map of my book 'Crowning of the Sword' which is FREE right now on Kindle. Go get it xx)

#writingcommunity

#books
#freekindlebooks

Map of Esha done on Inkarnate, showing five of the six kingdoms. (The other one is the Kingdom of Sands.)

The first book in the trilogy is centred around the Kingdom of Swords. Why do they all begin with S? I dunno. Because it's cutesy and demure?!

The third book of the trilogy is set mainly in the Kingdom of Stones, which is hilarious because it doesn't snow where I live, so I had to google lots of things like 'what exactly is a blizzard' and 'how do you make a glacier'.

Making maps is super fun, but such a time waster. Inkarnate is fun! Try it!

I think I've just finished the final book in my sexy fairy trilogy 😭
I started the first book during nanowrimo last year, (taking a couple of months off for illness, grrr), and I'm so stoked to have written 3 books in a year. Yay me!
