Day 21 ~ #FantasyIndiesJanuary My series’ genre: YA fantasy Sub genres: historical, sword and sorcery, romance, comedy

Post a gif from the last sitcom you watched 😂📺 *This is actually the last episode I watched too! 🤣😉

Day 11 ~ #FantasyIndiesJanuary Saturday Snippet: FIGHT From the Petticoat Pirate and the Traitorous Tides (coming sometime this year!).

Day 6 ~ #FantasyIndiesJanuary Josephine’s sense of humor is much like Jack's: a mix of snarky, silly, and oftentimes absurd. She intentionally riles up her enemies by calling them funny names like Kraken’s arse, bilge scum, doltish jobbernowl, or a barnacle’s sweaty armpit! 🤣

Day 5 ~ #FantasyIndiesJanuary Superstitions: Josephine’s crew can be quite superstitious. Ghosts, cats, and even having Jo (a woman…*GASP*) on board the ship can make them uneasy. Book 2 mentions it a few times.👇

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you? Unless Penny is with these guys…I’m in trouble!

❄️Day 4 ~ #FantasyIndiesJanuary ❄️ Forgot my snippet yesterday!! 😬 Saturday Snippet - PRIDE This is a bit of banter between Josephine and Gilmer as they are attempting to take over a Royal Navy ship. #PetticoatPirateseries

Did I just use this word in book 4 of my series? Yes, I did!

Day 3 ~ #FantasyIndiesJanuary Josephine has been far too poor to entertain such frivolity, but if she had the time, her hobbies would include sailing, fencing, shooting, and making up interesting insults to throw at her enemies. Hosts: @lvrussell.bsky.social @chesneyinfalt.bsky.social

Day 2 ~ #FantasyIndiesJanuary A few books from my TBR: Some I meant to get to last year and didn't get there.

Day 1 ~ #FantasyIndiesJanuary I’m Cassie 👋 and I write YA SFF mostly but might be breaking into YA or adult contemporary fiction (w/ a dash of romance, of course) this year if I can finally release my historical fantasy by summer. Happy New Year, everyone! 🎊🍾

D31 ~ #FantasyIndiesDecember - Wrap-up December: - Read 9 Holiday books (3 YA, 6 Adult) - Did not work on my WIP enough 😑 2024: - Read 58 books total, 18 above my goal - Slacked too much on book 4 and didn't get it released. 🫤

Day 28 - #FantasyIndiesDecember Saturday Snippet: Comfort This bit is from The Petticoat Pirate (bk 1), back when Josephine and Nathaniel were enemies. Sparks would fly and she was quite UNcomfortable whenever he was near! 😏😅🥰

Day 26 (yesterday)- #FantasyIndiesDecember ✨Hopes for 2025✨ - Finish book 4 of PP series - Take a much-needed break from writing - Read more Indie books - Lose some weight/get in shape - Train for a half marathon Here’s hoping! 🤞

Day 27 - #FantasyIndiesDecember My favorite GIF??? Like choosing a favorite star in the sky!! Here’s 1 of my many faves:

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and Happy Hanukkah for those who celebrate! ❤️❤️❤️

#indieadvent Day 12 I am loving the Petticoat Pirate series by @crpugh-author.bsky.social . I love the characters. I love the swooniness. I love the swashbuckling adventures on the high seas!

Hunger Games meets X-Men! Ravyn is on the run with dark secrets and a special gift. When she stumbles into Thorne’s path, he must decide between protecting his clan or protecting her from the evil surrounding them. YA, survival, Whump,family secrets. On #KindleUnlimited mybook.to/SNKf

#indieadvent day 11 (I'm behind, I know! 😂) Marrying Bluebeard by @epstavs.bsky.social was one of those books I never wanted to end. Think Bridgerton x Jane Eyre x Vampires x Bluebeard x gorgeous addictive writing that you just can't put down!

There are other things in the works so I'll post updated graphics as I have more details. I don't currently plan to go west, unless my publisher wants me to LOL. I hope you'll make plans to come see me at one of these events in 2025!

#indieadvent Day 10 I grabbed Silver Spells by @katemoseman.bsky.social as part of a SYK giveaway this year and absolutely fell in love with her fun writing voice and great characters!

Heads-up everyone , paperback copies of my Krampus retelling, A Heart So Cold in Wicked, are back in stock and they come with tons of gorgeous art! I'll pack all the orders that come in tonight, and then I'll be closing down the shop this weekend for the holidays. Hurry!

Day 18 ~ #FantasyIndiesDecember Cozy fire or play in snow? Josephine prefers warm weather, so the cozy fire is welcome. Nathaniel: cozy fire w/ Josephine! Here they are canoodling by a fire they started... 😅

I forgot I had a Bluesky account for the last 4 days. 😂

If you see this, post a unicorn! 🦄 My favorite movie as a child!

Day 13 ~ #FantasyIndiesDecember For Free Friday, I decided to share the gown Josephine would choose to wear to a Yule Ball. I'd only add sleeves to the elbow complete w/ lace and matching ruffles. She must look like the sea queen, immortal pirate/demigoddess she is!

Day 12 ~ #FantasyIndiesDecember Holidays in WIP. Well, they just wrapped up the New Years Ball, which turned into a giant fiasco afterward. But here's a GIF vibe and snippet (connecting post) of that night, because I can't help myself!

I just purchased this one on kindle. Can't wait to read it!!

In the spirit of my Immortal Pirates series, I choose Davy Jones! Captain of the Flying Dutchman, an immortal who is supposed to ferry souls who've died at sea to the next world.

Two YA holiday sweet romances that I loved reading this week! Not Indie books but definitely recommend!

Day 11 ~ #FantasyIndiesdecember The Ghost of Christmas Past would tell Josephine: - That her family loves her more than any treasure - To trust her instincts - To stay the course no matter how dark things seem - That her magic isn’t a curse but a gift

Two YA holiday sweet romances that I loved reading this week! Not Indie books but definitely recommend!

Day 10 ~ #FantasyIndiesdecember My two favorite Christmas songs— “Where are you Christmas?” By Faith Hill And “I Believe” by Natalie Grant

Day 9 ~ #FantasyIndiesdecember Hot chocolate, apple cider, or eggnog? Hot chocolate is my favorite. But wait! Have you tried Caramel hot chocolate? ...even better! I'm on the lookout for some delicious peppermint hot chocolate this year as well!
