I’ve been waiting for this beauty for a while!! It’s finally arrived! #bookmail The Life Of Violet by Virginia Woolf 💙📚 #booksky 🌈📚 #queerbookworm 🐶📚 #pudseyrecommends

Grand Reveal! Tyrant (previously named Beyond the Tyrant’s Reach), is expected to be released April 8th, 2026. I know it’s a bit far out, but that gives me time to fully perfect its quality and edits! I made this using ibisPaint and Canva! (That line on head was from my phone 😅)

Falling Forward is getting a new cover! I used ibisPaint to painting everything background wise, then used canva for the title and words! I plan on doing some proofreading tomorrow and will have it uploaded this weekend 🥰 #painting #coverart

Can't wait to finish designing my cover. I won't be posting it yet until its 100% done, but I will let you know, I'm already 12 hours in the design process. My hand hurts 🥲 #art #booksky #writiingcommunity #design #coverdesign #fantasy #fantasybook #indie #indieauthor

Don't forget to check out to check out The Author Sesh Corner Podcast! Yesterday, Co-Host S.A. Flynn and I read 2 chapters each from our published works. If you're not into that, we also interview authors/aspiring, and have an educational writing segment! You can find us on spotify and youtube!

Finally finished my rewrite from 3rd POV to 1st POV! Will be doing a round of edits soon, but now I’m working on the cover (yes, I’m designing it myself!) here’s the process so far! #coverart #writingcommunity #author #indieauthor #art #book #fantasybook

Had a lot of fun with interviewing this aspiring author! Check out Episode 10 from our podcast (also posted on Spotify!) #Spotify #YouTube #author #podcast #aspiringauthor #WritingCommunity #hosting youtu.be/QSoczAvVHqo?...

Just uploaded Episode 9 of a podcast I cohost in! Check it out on Spotify! We also upload to YouTube as well open.spotify.com/episode/6fAm... #podcast #indieauthor #WritingCommmunity

Designing a book cover - It's Hard!

The weekend is for adventures, whether in distant lands through a book or just discovering a new favorite corner of the couch. Officially embracing the art of getting lost today. What's on your reading list? #BookishWeekend #WritersOfBluesky #ReadingCommunity #RelaxAndRead #WrenNightingale #booksky

The laptop is officially closed for the holiday weekend! My characters are probably plotting chaos without me, but I'm ready for some real-world adventures. What are you celebrating or unwinding with this weekend? #WritersOfBluesky #HolidayVibes #Unwind #Bookish #WrenNightingale #booksky #weekend

Almost Friday! My brain is already halfway to a cozy reading nook. What's one book you'd love to escape into for the upcoming long weekend? Let's share some escapes! (Trying to finish Fahrenheit 451 for me) 😅 #BookRecommendations #WritersOfBluesky #WeekendReads #EscapeReading #WrenNightingale

Wednesdays are for venturing deeper into the labyrinth of my current manuscript. Discovered a new secret passage (or maybe just another dead end... stay tuned 😉). What's unfolding in your world today? #WritingCommunity #WritersOfBluesky #FantasyReads #MysteryAuthor #WrenNightingale #Worldbuilding

With three hours less sleep than usual and an eight hour drive ahead of me, I drank my first cup of coffee in years (during a lifetime of not really drinking it at all). If the inevitable jitters I experience make me vibrate into another dimension, it's been great knowing you all. ✌️

Made a post yesterday about my new site. I got a comment stating they couldn't see it. I guess it might help if I actually LAUNCH the site!! Ok, so here it is again! wrennightingale.com #WritingCommunity #booksky #authorlife #author #fantasy #romance #writing #content #fyp
