Warning, everyone… this part is pretty chaotic because everyone is in the same room, trying to figure out what is going on, talking over each other. This is also the exposition part.

Awesome!! Thank you for the update! It’s good to hear that things are going well, even if there have been many tears involved (that just means its a good book, right?). Hope your characters aren’t giving you too much pain. XD
-
@koshka Thank you! :3 And yes, many tears involved XD (but yesss. I personally love books that make me cry😆). Pffffffft they always are: it’s just a given by this point🙄 I’d say Leon more than Riker in Book #2 tho, but then again, they’ve both broken me🫠

Thank you so much for the update!
Oh now I really can’t wait! Reading the impactful stories is so, so good. I’ve written a few of those books that really make me cry, but it’s often those books that end up having the most beautiful message and I am the most excited to let others read. So I really can’t wait! Do you have a tentative release date…[Read more]-
@ellette-giselle I’m so glad you’re excited!! :3 And I’m certainly hoping it’s impactful💜
Hmmmm…no exact release date, as everything depends on getting some final steps done, including (but not limited to): finalizing a blurb/cover, getting it up on Amazon and getting a proof copy to look over (which the copy could take up to 2 weeks for me to…[Read more]-

Awesome!! I’m so excited for you!!! I can’t wait!! ✨
I’m not sure if you’ve answered this before, but I was wondering why you chose self-publishing over traditional? I have nothing against it of course, I’m just curious. 😊-
@esther-c Tysm, girl! <3
I went with self-publishing for a few reasons.
1. To have complete control over my novels, what I'm writing, etc.
2. To get more of an income from it (publishers take a LOT of the money when you publish your book simply bc of the agreement and the fact that they do most of the work).
3. Often, publishers make you sign a…[Read more]-
Ok, interesting! Yeah, that does answer my question! 😊 I’ve considered self-publishing, but I think I’m gonna go with traditional. At least that’s what I’ve been thinking about and drawn to lately. Your reasoning totally makes sense though! <3
-
OH! And I wanted to let you know, I talked to someone who’s done publishing through Amazon and she says that you an get replacement copies if they mess up the formatting and send out the messed up books to people. I’m not exactly sure all the details and how that works with shipping or refunds, but I can talk to her again and get the info for you…[Read more]
-
@esther-c Best of luck to you with traditional publishing!💜
and wellllllll Amazon messed up the formatting for the actual document, so a replacement would (first come out of my pocket, Amazon doesn’t pay for replacements) but would be just as messed up anyhow simply bc the document itself was messed up because I didn’t know that Amazon’s paid…[Read more]-

Ilahna ——— Elderstrand (w/ Klethen & Everett)
Ilahna screeched to a halt, as she suddenly found a river barring their way. Her feet skidded on the wet ground, and she narrowly saved herself from falling in by humming a quick series of notes to push herself back.
She looked over her shoulder and saw the facel…[Read more]

Ilahna ran blindly, following Klethen’s form in the dark ahead. She couldn’t manage a song while running, so she had no way to sense if anyone was nearby.
She could tell by sound, however, that the armored creatures were still behind…[Read more]

Ilahna
Ilahna hesitated, her instincts were telling her to run, but where would they go? Fighting might be their best option.
Mustering her strength of will, she selected one of the warriors, and slammed her Strings into its mind with all her might. A beam of colors flowed from her mouth to its…[Read more]

Ilahna’s heart raced, and she didn’t drop her defenses. Suddenly, she could sense more than two minds around her. There was another group, moving closer. Four of them.
Finally, she dropped one of her Strings, allowing her to speak.

Everett – Elderstrand with Ilahna and Klethen
Everett stood frozen still, prepared to thrust his sword into the dark, blurry figures standing before him.
“I’d put that sword down if I were you,” the man said, “We don’t want a fight.”
He scarcely brought the weapon down, his mean scowl fixed on the two. Gripping hi…[Read more]

He continued to walk throughout the area, until voices reached his ears. The words at this point…[Read more]

You’re welcome to have your character join me and Jonas’ if you want (unless he objects for some reason).
I don’t object.
And @jonas, I know it’s my turn to RP, but my brain doesn’t want to right now 🤷♀️
That’s fine. I just did that so that you would have the opportunity to if you wanted to.

Ooo, I liked that series. I’ll have to check it out.
My favorite of her books is Fawkes. Did you ever read that one?
Awesome! YES, that’s probably my favorite too!! The characters are so good in that one. I’ll have to reread it again soon.
(Also, if you don’t own that one, I believe it is still selling in hardcover for $1.50 on Christianbook.com. I know. Crazy!)
They’re not making hardcovers anymore, I think, so after they sell out that might be it.
No way! That is so cheep! What’s the catch?
I do own Fawkes. My brother bought it for me for my birthday.
I know! I bought it a while ago for that price, but apparently it’s still on there. No catch, like I said, they might just be trying to sell out. You do have to pay for shipping though.
Oh, cool! That was sweet of him. Have you read the new one, Nightmare Virus?
Wow!
How much is shipping? Is it a set price, or does it change per item?
No, i haven’t read that one!
I’m not sure… I think it changes depending on how many items you order. But it takes adding several before the price jumps.
Yeah, it just came out. It’s pretty good! Not as good as Fawkes but the worldbuilding was interesting and as a sci-fi writer I was excited to see her write in that genre.
Oh cool! I’ll have to check it out.
Oh cool! I was actually interested in reading those, so I’ll have to check that out for sure!! 😃😃
Awesome! 😁
The paperbacks are also cheaper on that website, though they’re not special or anything. Just cheaper 😉
I LOVE that series! Parvin and Solomon are one of the cutest fictional couples ever!!! There’s no way I can afford this thing, but I sent the link to my parents and I’m hoping to get it for Christmas.
Oh, cool! 😁 I feel like you and I have very similar taste in books. We both like all the same things. I gotcha, it’s pretty pricey, but cool! Hopefully you’ll be able to get it for Christmas! 😉 (Also, like I told GRCR, they also have paperbacks on that website, which are much cheaper.)
When I got off yesterday I read Romanov from cover to cover! OH MY GOODNESS! It had me crying. Her books always do that to me!!!
Have you read it? (please say that you have. I want to rant about it. lol)
Sounds awesome! I haven’t read the series, but it sounds really cool! I’ll have to check if my library has it!
Yeah! 😁
