Third person, Magic, Series, Dialogue, Whimsical/dark…? Can they combine? Small town

Hey readers! I need bookish help. I need to find artsy creators with small businesses. I want to commission some art for my books. I will be purchasing the art to include in some giveaway boxes for the holidays. ❤️ #readingcommunity #booksky

I am on year 15 of writing a novel in a month. It does NOT feel like it’s been that long! I have a goal to get 50,000 words done this month for book 3, but I’m not expecting that to be the whole story. Book 1 first draft was 51k words and ended around 70k. Book 2 first draft was around 90k!

Posted on my IG too!

Night Owl Background Music I actually like to write at work 🙈 I’m a PLANTSER! I generally write off a loose plan. I prefer writing every day. We created a custom tea for my book I just published!! It is so good!!

I have a dilemma, #booksky , can you help? My book is in dual POV. But one character finds out secrets in their POV before everyone else. Originally I wrote those chapters as bonus content for the end. But do I weave them into the rest of the book? #writingcommunity

#booksky I need your help! Which of these titles call to you for book 2 of the Domum Chronicles? (Book 1 released last month) #writingcommunity #readingcommunity

My main characters have birth dates. To me it’s an important part of who they are. Do they like their birthdays? How do they celebrate them? In the Domum Chronicles book 2 has a bit of focus on birthdays so I’ve needed to determine more than just ages. #booksky #writingcommunity #readingcommunity

⭐️ The Gods of Domum ⭐️ Their religion is based around the Nameless Goddess. Her children are each guardians of a portion of her magic. They rule together, splitting responsibility of domain between them. #domumchronicles #characterspotlight #indieauthor #fantasy #booksky #fantasyreads

(All pictures from Pinterest) We’re under 2 weeks from the release of Pulchra Arcanum! 💬 What kind of family relationship do you like to read?? Found family, mixed, blended, blood, made? #booksky #readingcommunity #writingcommunity

I wanted to spotlight the romance arc in the trilogy. Meggy is raised in a cellar. Romance is far from her mind. Leo has tried courting. Romancing Camelot’s “pest” is not on his plan. When he meets her his soul decides she is the one. #Booksky

A peek into Pulchra Arcanum! Leo's last thought as the Camelot battle begins. Mark your calendars for the release on Aug 1, and join me on this epic journey where every character is a hero in their own right. Can’t wait for you to experience this retelling of the Arthurian Camelot myth! #Booksky

✨ It's time for our hero to leave Domum and seek Camelot! His journey to rescue the woman who holds his village's fate begins. Pulchra Arcanum releases August 1! #PulchraArcanum #Fantasy #BookSky #IndieAuthor #ReadingCommunity

When we first meet Leo he is a knight seeking adventure. He watched his two old brothers to learn how to be a man and protect his younger sister and mother. His duties require him to be of service when the council calls upon him and shares his fate. #Booksky #WritingCommunity #PulchraArcanum

Almost time to journey back to Camelot! 🏰 Pulchra Arcanum reimagines the Arthurian legend. I believe in the power of stories to spark dialogue and inspire change. This Camelot retelling explores themes of leadership, power, and the dangers of blind faith. #Booksky #PulchraArcanum #ReadingCommunity

A powerful collection of stories that deserve to be read and discussed, not hidden and banned. I had to explain to my husband what a banned book was and I realized it's an obscure concept for a lot of people. I wanted to address what a banned book truly is. Which of these have you read? #Booksky

"I swear on my life I will never allow you to go through this life alone." Little did she know, his promise held deeper feelings. Get ready for the slow burn in PULCHRA ARCANUM releasing August 1, 2025! Pre-orders available now. #fantasyromance #slowburn #booksky

✨ CHARACTER SPOTLIGHT ✨ The Council is made of 12 seats. 2 for each school of magic, a male and a female. Magic generally reveals itself around age 8. Everyone has varying degrees of magic. If a student is more successful than the council representative, the student replaces the representative. 💙 📚

I decided to share this snippet because I like the way it makes me feel. When I first wrote the book, Megara was the villain. There was so much growth just within the first draft. I couldn't believe how far I had traveled.What's your favorite summer snack? Mine is raspberries and ice cream. #booksky

✨ CHARACTER SPOTLIGHT: Stace ✨ Stace is my favorite member of the council. She is an eighteen year old healer. If you buy the hardcover version of PULCHRA ARCANUM, you receive a bonus chapter detailing how she was able to join the council at such a young age (twelve years old). 1/2

When I started my consistent posting journey we were at 13 weeks. I have done so much for this novel than anything in my life. Save growing my child. And my college degrees. Maybe. #booksky #indieauthor #writingcommunity

I get asked about my writing programs a LOT. I wrote a blog post detailing my growth from handwriting to where I am now. (Hint: I use @scrivenerapp now, if you haven't seen!) But this details my growth process through the various writing tools. Which one do you use?? #writingcommunity

🐉 🦁 🕷️ On August 1 the journey begins with the first book of my trilogy! "The reign of the black widow and the lion shall cease with the rise of the dragon bringing peace." 🐉 🦁 🕷️ Check out the sneak peek for book 2! I can't wait for you all to join me on this epic ride. #booksky #indieauthor

Last month I shared the first scene I wrote for Pulchra Arcanum. Here is a snippet from the final scene which ended up in the novel, accompanied by the original so you can compare them! Tell me what you think! Which introduction do you prefer? #booksky #writingcommunity

Emaline Sanders is one of my favorite side characters. She is the younger sister of Leopold. She cares deeply for her widowed mother and is very observant of those around her. Sometimes change comes from behind the scenes. #indieauthor #characterspotlight #pulchraarcanum #domumchronicles #booksky

When I had Twitter/X I learned how big the world is. TikTok teaches me humanity is still generally good. Instagram teaches me to believe in myself. BlueSky has taught my creatives and artists rule the world. Thank you. ❤️ #writingcommunity

I am getting so very excited. Don't forget to follow my account(s) to see -BTS -Character Info -Book Release Party information (6/17) -Polls Book 1 of Domum Chronicles (PULCHRA ARCANUM) releases on 1 August 2025. #indieauthor #bookannouncement #countdown #booksky #pulchraarcanum #domumchronicles

Superus was almost a deer, instead of a stoat. He is the snarky comic relief. He is a very loyal friend who bluntly tells things the way he thinks the world should be. #booksky #indieauthor *Stoat image credit: Martin Prochazkacz/Shutterstock.com*

Over the last several years I have been studying human nature. I have developed very strong beliefs. What I know: I have discovered what I believe to be every story matters. Including the fictional ones. #indieauthor #bookannouncement #pulchraarcanum #domumchronicles #booksky

Eldest daughter of Uther and Katherine, she began as a princess in my first draft. She had been trying to tell me she wasn't a princess and I wasn't listening. Now she has flourished to be so much more than a simple lady rejecting her title. #indieauthor #booksky #pulchraarcanum

Went back to therapy today. “So what I’m hearing is your PTS nightmares come back whenever you feel unsafe, unprotected, or out of control. Does that sound right?” “It sounds like you have feelings of betrayal which triggered you.” Don’t gotta call me out like that 😭

I loved the writing style and the author's skill at making the characters feel real. I loved the magic system in this series. I loved the characters. I loved the adventure. I like to think the vibe is similar to #pulchraarcanum but someone else will need to confirm. #booksky #bookreview #indieauthor
