I don't mention it in the text, but Renard wears a bandana. It's a symbol of his mastery over the martial arts. He wears it all the time. It serves as a constant reminder that genes aren't everything, and that he can overcome his weaknesses. He trains his children, of course. #WIPSnips

Hi, I'm Christa! I write space opera with fantasy elements (like dragons and animal pilots). Current WIP is my second book, sequel to my first book. Quick blurb: "One year after the Veran incursion, the Starship Intrepid returns with an offer the Zadans can't afford to refuse." #FantasyIndiesJuly

I did it! All medals earned. Now I get to do it again in Expert Mode! #StarFox

Quote your OC and their favourite food🎣 Renard's favorite food is whatever he can catch, but his favorite favorite is rabbit.

I WILL have a tournament in my WIP! Just haven't written that far yet. It's the Cyberpunk Olympics, where soft diplomacy wins the day, "Cool Runnings" style. Each of Renard's squad will have their own event. Look forward to it! #WIPSnips

Jevin's been hired to join a jazz quartet on a train trip through the Alps. How will they react to rooming with a transgender assassin?

I had many instances of "water." I picked one. Jeri and Renard visit a water hole. #WIPSnips

Drop some SPIES 🕵️‍♀️🖤🔫

#FantasyIndiesJune What new-to-you genre would I like to try writing? If I ever write a thriller, I've got the perfect name: Jade Ransom.

One musician deserves to die. Jevin will see it done.

I want to try urban fantasy! I like vampires and werewolves. I have a trio of characters who would fit: Drake the vampire, Lillian the goth from Brooklyn, and Drake's wolf familiar Morpheus. They will solve paranormal mysteries together like Scooby Doo. Someday I will write it! #FantasyIndiesJune

Don't worry, it's made entirely of secondhand carbon fiber! #StarFox

I may have mentioned I've been binge reading the "Wings of Fire" series and loving it. I just finished all the main books. I'm on "Legends: Darkstalker" now. If these books had been around when I was 10, I would have been OBSESSED with them. I love all my dragon children! #FantasyIndiesJune #WoF

Easy one for me! I have foxes. Boy howdy do I ever have them! Here's Renard and Jeri's first meeting. #WIPSnips

Had a bit of a rough start, but I hit my stride! It's like riding a bike! #StarFox

Two medals already on my first run! I've still got it, baby! #StarFox

Renard is responsible. He's the leader and also a dad. He has to be. But he also has a bit of a reckless streak. He relies on his friends to temper him and help get him out of trouble when he ends up in over his head. Fortunately, his squad are "ride or die" for him. #FantasyIndiesJune

My current WIP does not have pyramid, but my short story collection does, so I guess I'll post from that! This is from one of the dragon-centric mythology inspired stories that go out with my newsletter. Check my profile for deets! #WIPSnips

Name 4 female book characters you love (Plus their books) and pass it on! Cimorene & Kazul ("Dealing with Dragons - Patricia Wrede") Daine ("The Immortals - Tamora Pierce") Sophie ("Howl's Moving Castle") - Diana Wynne Jones Tarma & Kethry ("The Oathbound" - Mercedes Lackey) (Sorry, cheated a bit)

What do you look for in beta readers? I am not remotely at the point where I need beta readers, and I won't be for a long time. But if I were looking? Can you read? Can you provide honest feedback? Congrats, you're in! Bonus points if you scream silently in the margins! #FantasyIndiesJune

Subbing "punishment" and doing something a bit different today. This is from my short story collection, the one that goes out with my newsletter. A younger Crystal is on trial for murder. It's a courtroom full of dragons. Very much Ace Attorney with Dragons. #WIPSnips

Jeri greets her first sunrise on an alien planet and is inspired to draw it! Of course she brought her sketchbok with her. What kind of botanist do you take her for? #WIPSnips

5 books (or series) that define your taste, in no particular order: Heralds of Valdemar- Mercedes Lackey The Enchanted Forest Chronicles- Patricia Wrede The Immortals- Tamora Pierce Wings of Fire- Tui Sutherland Finishing School- Gail Carriger

QTP with a ship that makes you happy Old Ironsides. We studied the poem in school. The poem saved the ship! You can go see her in Boston Harbor.

Family is a major theme in Book 1. Renard's main goal is he wants to have a family (and thinks he never will). Well in Book 2 (WIP), he's a dad! He has four little utter terrors of children, nicknamed the helions. His squad helps take care of them, including Yoshi. #FantasyIndiesJune

Penny, you act like I didn't already marry my Blue Chicken Disaster Husband and have two kids already. What do you think?! #StardewValley

She's 14. She's the only person in the world who can do magic. And it's up to her to save two worlds. Piece of cake.

Lounge? Here's the intro to Jeri's posse while they get ready to play tabletop! #WIPSnips

Had some folks express ask about beta reading my WIP. Firstly, thank you! I appreciate the enthusiasm. Unfortunately it is not ready yet! It doesn't even have a title. If you want to check out my world/characters now, Book 1 is out and available. Link is in my profile! #Writersky #Booksky

Share a movie soundtrack you love --🎵🎬 Oddball choice: "Me, Myself, and Irene." The movie is kind of mid but the soundtrack is surprisingly a banger!

Group! Jeri is in a group chat with her D&D friends. They are very excited about their ship coming into contact with an alien planet. #WIPSnips

Oh, this is cute! Here's mine! (link to play along kojira.github.io/bluesky-lice...)

You liked the title "Spiritual Arachnids and Other Unnatural Beasts Brought to Our Shores by Unscrupulous Fruitmongers"? That's a spiritual sequel to this 1882 classic! #WeeknightWriters

Oh my GOD. This is so me as well. My characters are 100% the ones in charge. I'm just along for the ride!

From Talia: Heir to the Fairy Realm Talia has been playing an airhead princess to get information from the Fairy lord of the town. And of course this lie of omission will not come back to bite this Fairy Lord. Of course not. More about me and my books at: ServantsoftheMoonandSun.com

Please buy Cry Wolf! 💙📚🌈🐺 Rieka is a lonely werewolf without a pack. Jiya is a charming bartender hiding deep pain. Can they heal each other before the Russian mob's werewolf ruins everything? All Buy Options: pjccahill.carrd.co #booksky 📢📚

Renard would drive and pay very... loose attention to the speed limit. Jenette would have all the maps printed out with rest stops and food marked up. Killer would backseat drive, insist Renard drive faster, and pretend not to care. Speedy would be sick in the back seat. #FantasyIndiesJune

If you see this, drop a Blue Haired Character. 💙 I CHALLENGE MY FATE

Don't have "platform." I substituted "ledge." Jeri learns the hard way that riding dragonback all day tends to make one sore! #WIPSnips

#FantasyIndiesJune What inspires your MC? Rose cannot forget seeing Talia curse her child. Then another Fairy kidnaps her. Finding her daughter fills all of her thoughts.

In Renard's own words, his mate inspires him! "I love you. I love you for your ferocity, your kindness, your unbreakable spirit. You inspire me to be a better person." #FantasyIndiesJune

Ah! I have this one! My characters' family home is an oak tree. Jeri visits it and is interrogated by a raptor about how humans managed to take over Earth when they're so pathetic. #WIPSnips

5 things you will probably find in most of my books: -Found family - Animal characters -Squad dynamics -Flying -Some characters causing chaos while the rest shake their heads

What’s the most widely enjoyed food that you can’t stand, not because of allergies or anything but just because you hate it? Bacon.
