πŸ‘‹ Hi! Nice to meet you. When I started writing I leaned into the writing community on Instagram (I'm still a fairly new resident here in Blue Sky) and found lots of inspiration and support. 😊

Cover image of all three books of the Cursed Weapons trilogy by Aerin Apeltun, artwork by Aerin Apeltun. The Amethyst Talisman cover is violet in colour, with a design of lacy twirls and stars in the top left and bottom right corners of the background. There is a white frame of curlicues at the top of the image and the bottom of the image, but not in the centre of the sides of the image.The title is written in the centre of the image in capital letters with some of the letters having fancy swashes, with outline in white and filled with a varying gradient of violet and white. The author’s name is written in white capitals at the bottom of the image. Between them β€˜The Cursed Weapons Book 1’ is written in oblique white small capitals. The Malachite Quest is green in colour, with the same design of twirls, stars and curlicues; and The Opal King is red in colour, again with the same design.
