Starting drafting a new story off an idea that's been noodling around my head for a while. No outline which is very off brand for me 😅 Something a lil different where a particular setting will follow the story of several characters that will overlap w/each other. What kinda story? Spice and vibes 😌

I've been crawling my way through edits on Kitaine Neris 4 (am only on round 2) but I did have the cover made so now I have something pretty to look at for motivation 😄

I got a first look a the cover for Kitaine Neris 4 aaand 😍😍The concept is simple but I'm always impressed by how my designer can take my crappy mock ups and work magic 😄

Ok NYC!!!

Two months later ... Kitaine Neris 4 is a finished draft. Felt nice to take my time with a draft since the 3rd book came out only 3 months ago. Didn't write every day or every week and felt no pressure. How refreshing lol Vanish Witch Kit's adventures continue! 🎇 #BookSky #BlackBookSky
