#DvParty My next project follows Evie, a villain who escapes her tragic fate by fleeing her fairytale. But in the real world, the stakes are much higher than ‘happily ever after’.

#DvParty Compared to my last draft that dealt with music, I'm having a harder time nailing the sound for The Living Wife. Probably because it needs a different genre than what I usually seek out. But it's looking good so far. open.spotify.com/playlist/5dT...

#DvParty Xelan and Xaine in a nutshell when they don't have swords pointed at each other’s backs. (Well just Xaine. Xelan pefers necks for traitors🤭) It would only be fitting to describe my Bel-Cadyr sibling relationship with them, as they were the inspo.

Hey #DVparty, don't forget to alt text your opening lines! Some of us cannot read your graphics for many and varied reasons. Screen readers will read alt text :D #accessibility

‘The wedding that started it all’: My opening lines for The Living Wife #Dvparty ‘It is said that a woman’s happiest moment was her wedding day. Such was true in the case of Miranda Talbot, bride of the firstborn son of the Bel-Cadyr family.

Since my book is a dual-POV, may I also introduce Xelan Bel-Cadyr. Xelan had long made peace with his fate as the Black Widower doomed to claim the life of any woman who bonds with him. Till Amara’s brown eyes open on the morning after their union, altering his fate for good.

#DvParty Ladies and Gentlemen, Amara Gani. Grieving and guilt-ridden over her fiancé’s suicide, Amara agrees to marry the infamous Black Widower to join him in the Afterlife. But Death is not that easy to call on... or dismiss
