Learning To Trust - Episode 5 Trust isn't always a choice. When everything in you is screaming to run... It's in those moments that trust becomes a risk. And still... It's a chance Lizzy has to take. *** Want to ARC read for Darkling? The public sign up form is open now! forms.gle/KAJsMjGb6PfL...

When Lizzy’s temper gets the better of her, logic is rarely the right answer. Sometimes, the answer is a challenge she can quietly rally against. And sometimes, it’s a question from a friend.

Lizzy trusts Booker. Implicitly. But sometimes that means taking him at his word, even when she can tell there’s something he’s not saying... And right now, she doesn’t have time for questions!

#FantasyIndiesMaytober May10th; Saturday Snippet! I use ‘Regret’ exactly three times in the current Darkling manuscript. All have... some spoilers. In this one, let’s just say that Telepathy isn’t Lizzy’s strongest skill... #regret #snippet #sneakpeek #extract #feytouchedtrilogy #darkling

#fantasyindiesmaytober May9th... What movie or show am I currently watching? ‘Buffy The Vampire Slayer’. An old favourite of mine... & let's be honest, you can't go wrong with a good vampire! #Writing #Writinglife #Author #Authorlife #Fantasy #Indies #buffy #buffythevampireslayer #vampires

#fantasyindiesmaytober Catching up posting for May 8th Talking about the Villain's strengths &weaknesses; Not to give away too much, but human blood is definitely bot a strength AND a weakness! #Writing #Writinglife #Author #Authorlife #Fantasy #Indies #Indiesauthor #weaknesses #strengths

#Fantasyindiesmaytober May 7th I'm a few days behind, so trying to catch up on posting. But Myth's in my WIP is an interesting one, and not one I've thought too much about before this question popped up...

#Fantasyindiesmaytober MC's Fears! Lizzy is scared of lots of things, but she covers most of her fears with anger... Lizzy’s oldest, most deep rooted fear, is that she has no place where she belongs. #Writing #Writinglife #Fantasy #Indies #Indiesauthor #fears #selfpublished #behindthescenes

There’s two “Villians” in The Fey Touched Trilogy. What I’d call an enviromental Villian; The Kavians. They affect everyone in the world. There’s also a Specific Villian, Sethan Blackwood, that the Main Character Lizzy stands in direct oppostion too. #fantasyindiesmaytober #fantasy

I did think about this. I actually have a folder on my computer with fonts I feel like match my characters handwriting. I started the font collection with merch in mind for character quotes on products in their own handwriting!

#fantasyindiesmaytober for May 4th is asking about Nightmares in my WIP. Actual Dreams and Nightmares are things I don't write about often, as they're not my favourite thing to read about. #writer #writing #writingcommunity #author #ReadersofBluesky #fantasybooks #fantasyreaders #portalfantasy

Saturday Snippet - "Fear" #fantasyindiesmaytober This is a section from one of my favourite scenes in the first 25% of Darkling. I’m really happy about where ‘Fear’ fell in this piece. If I’d shared anything else before or after this section, there’d have been spoilers abound!

Oooo! This looks RIGHT up my street o.O #TBR #FantasyBooks #FantasyBookshelf
