What’s your first thought when you think of pixies? #pixies #fantasy

6. Hope At its heart, Wiley Kroom: The Wild One is a story about hope—the hope for truth, for belonging, and for a world that embraces difference rather than fears it. #wileykroom #booksky

5. Joy & Humor Despite the serious undertones, Wiley’s personality and his interactions with Lunn, Kip, Bess, and Lem bring light-hearted fun and laughter. There’s real charm in their dynamic. #wileykroom #booksky

4. Tension & Suspense With masked figures, secrets in Fayland, and a plot to drain its magic, the story has high-stakes moments that keep readers turning pages, wondering what’s next. #wileykroom #booksky #readers

3. Courage & Inspiration As Wiley begins to embrace who he is and fights for the truth, readers will feel empowered. His growth encourages kids to be brave, stand up for what’s right, and embrace their own “wild.” #wileykroom #booktok #booksky

2. Empathy & Compassion Wiley’s journey as an outcast—banished for simply being different—will pull at your heart. His struggle for identity and acceptance is deeply relatable, especially for younger readers navigating their own sense of self. #wileykroom #booksky www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0DW...

What emotions would readers expect reading Wiley Kroom? 1. Wonder & Curiosity From the hidden world of Fayland to the mystery of Wiley’s origins, there’s a deep sense of awe and discovery. The lore behind the Birthing Garden and the secrets within the pixie world will spark curiosity. #booksky

“You’re not the hero in this story,” it said before punching Flick in the belly with the ball of light. The forceful blow sent Flick flying backward, jarring the baby from his arms. But one of the enchanted tree limbs swiftly caught the infant, pulling him to safety… #booksky #wileykroom

“Regrettably, there will be no blessings bestowed this year. That time has passed,” Luedell calmly said as an uproar overtook the area. “No blessings? Where are the Principals? They should be here.” “It’s all Wiley Kroom’s fault! He should be punished.” “We need swift justice!” #booksky #wk

What a run!

Pixies are the inhabitants of Fayland, a hidden civilization in Wiley Kroom: The Wild One. Unlike traditional pixies, they do not reproduce naturally. Instead, all pixies are created in the Birthing Garden, created by Fayland’s ruler, who is worshiped as a god. #booksky #reader #wileykroom

So, when I wrote Wiley Kroom: The Wild One, I didn’t realize I would be world-building for two worlds: the World of Fay and the human world. Want to know what sets them apart from each other? #booksky #wileykroom #fantasy

What causes the death of a writing career? Having no readers! I need help finding my audience- I need reviews to see if what I’ve written is enjoyable. I have a Goodreads giveaway going on for 100 kindle books. Next I’m thinking about putting Wiley Kroom on Wattpad. I need a community! #booksky

Swaddled in his arms was a sleeping baby pixie, no older than a day. Flick eased his pace to avoid exhaustion, even with the threat of being caught. The journey ahead was long, and he had already expended a lot of energy during his escape. If he could make it to his destination my…” #booktok

His rumpled and disheveled clothes flapped in the wind, the once-vibrant, spirally designed pants and shirt, now torn and dirty from his recent scuffle. Heavy breaths filled and exited his lungs, the constant thought of being caught echoing in his mind. Swaddled in his arms…” continue? #booktok

“His life began on a night of danger and death. The light of the two moons clashed with each other, fighting for dominance as they illuminated the sky. A pixie soared just above a forest notorious for its swarms of flies.” Would you continue? #booksky

Things I wish to never here as an author: “After I read 100k words I still could not find the plot. Where are you hiding it?” #writing

Are there any writers that still use pen and paper to write the majority of their stories? If so what are the benefits? #writing #authorsky

I read somewhere that fewer men write because it’s ‘not manly.’ Pfffff, can you believe that? Writing is one of the oldest and strongest forms of expression—warriors, kings, and revolutionaries all did it. It takes guts to create. Anyone who thinks otherwise is missing out. #writing #writersky

Writing 101- right damn well but market better. #writesky #writing #books
