Added ‘a little bit extra’ to one of my chapters and now it’s 11.000 words long.
Yeah, time to split.

I just came across this editing book 3. If there is a single sentence in my books that could embody what I write about, this would probably be it:
The kind-hearted hero was a myth, for even a second of defilement by the horrors of war could rip away all semblance of purity.
Over halfway through my final edit of book 3. I’m exploring some spinoffs as well, to offer something that doesn’t require new readers to go through this whole series. Which may not be too much of a concern for book 3, but as this goes on, it’s going to be necessary.
I feel this so much. It just isn’t safe. Unfortunately, it’s also exactly where my fiancée lives. This really sucks.
Any friends here with their books on KU? My lovely fiancée is looking for some spicy stuff.
I finally have a critical review. That means I’m a real author now, right?
Carved From Ashes just launched!
A huge thanks for all the amazing reviews so far. I can't wait to keep this series going, and I love being able to write these stories for you all. I have some crazy plans for the future of this series, and I hope you join me for that.
Link in bio!
Carved From Ashes launches tomorrow! Super happy with all the amazing reviews thus far. Knowing other people love this series I’ve dedicated 15 years of my life to is nothing short of incredible. Here’s to 15 years more 🥂 #booksky

If any of my fellow writers love games, play Split Fiction. It’s a blast.
So much for focusing on writing. I’ve unexpectedly been offered more mind-numbing work, but I need the money, so I can’t afford to say no. That said, if anyone would like to donate $0.99 and help rescue me from capitalism, my new book is coming out March 13th
Hey, you. Yeah, you. 🫵
My second book is launching next week. March 13th. It’s available for preorder now.
Both this and the first book are only $0.99 each. It’s a steal. Basically theft. Go rob me. Link in bio.
After more than a week of formatting struggles, I think I’m finally nearing the end of it all. I can actually breathe. Well, at least regarding this. Can someone please tell the US to calm down? I’d like to not have to wait 4 years to visit my American girlfriend again
Launch is only two weeks away, but I’m just spending a full week dealing with formatting issues instead of marketing, as one does.
Huge shout out to my ARC readers though. You guys are amazing and I would not be able to do any of this without you all.
How is there a typo in a simple sentence I vividly remember reading dozens of times? This has to be some sort of skill.
Just spending my day writing name pronunciations for 42 characters because one reader once mentioned they appreciated me doing this for my last book, when I only had 9 named characters.
Can’t wait to see what this glossary is going to look like at the end of the series with all my 700+ characters.
The thing about me is: if I have an easy task, I will not rest until it’s complicated.
I’m discovering so much formatting my second novel that I want to slap my old self. I made it so difficult for no reason.
Carved From Ashes is still a month away, but I had a little peek at what I already wrote for the next book last year.
Two pages in, and I’m crying. It hits way too hard.
Can’t wait to publish this one Q3 this year and make everyone else cry too.
If anyone wants the chance to leave a negative review without the risk of being attacked by the author for it, I have a book coming out March 13th. It’s a sequel, which means the first book is already available — 2 chances to leave a negative review!
When I mentioned the Gulf of Mexico in my upcoming book, I was so sure that would be one of the least controversial things happening in the story.
Life really throws you curveballs.
One thing that’s becoming abundantly clear: reality doesn't conform to the standards of realism by which we judge fiction.
It’s pretty frustrating. Some of us meticulously sculpt stories to make them seem believable. Reality doesn’t give a shit, and for some reason, we all buy it anyway.
Almost done with my final read of Carved From Ashes, and then it can go out into the world.
All I’ll say: it’s fucking fun. There’s so much to this story, it hits so many serious and difficult topics, but the main thing is that it’s just fun. My face hurts from the constant smile I have on my face
After Talos Awakening I figured I needed to adjust the pace a bit for the sequel to give people room to breathe.
Now that I’m reading Carved From Ashes one last time, I can say that… I failed completely. It’s fast as shit.
I have 70 of these novels planned, we need to get through it, people!
Reading Carved From Ashes one final time, it’s definitely a lot more spicy than Talos Awakening. Do people like spice? 👀
I thought it be nice to include a glossary with descriptions at the end of my first novel. It was a pretty self contained story, so it didn’t take me too long.
The sequel has like 10 times more items to list in the glossary. Past me did not think ahead enough.
I’ve been working on the formatting for Carved From Ashes, getting it all ready for my final read through. ARC copies are going out at the start of next month. It’s very exciting (and slightly terrifying) to have a new book out there soon.
Can’t believe TT is really gone. These billionaires are really doing everything in their power to sabotage my relationship. Sending each other TT’s was basically our love language.
I see a lot of good people following me. Now, I’m trying to keep my author accounts book related, so I might not follow back if that’s not part of your profile.
That said, I do appreciate everyone in their fight for democracy and a better world, and that will always be reflected in my fiction.
