Yeah haha. If we could all talk privately it’d be different and I could share more😭

And honestly same. It takes a lot for me to like a fantasy book. KC, however, is very near and dear to my heart 🤭

The cast is just ugh I love them sm

@freed_and_redeemed

Oh really?! Me too!

Ah yes, that’s why I’ve stopped posting stuff on here.

Yes, I’m not a huge fan of Fantasy as it tends to be lame, trashy, or cliché (or all of it, lol) but I am very intrigued by this.

@ellette-giselle I personally use Canva haha. It’s the easiest but still good one I’ve found for designing covers.

Yes very spendy😅

Aww thanks, I’m glad🤭(I deleted it now so not just anyone on the internet can find it🙈). Aww haha thank you! I certainly feel like it’s helped me a lot to improve my craft.

And yayyyy🤭 I was hoping you…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

Oh cool! What do you use for that?

Ah yes, they are spendy. XD

nailed it! It seemed like it would go from what you’ve told me.

Ooo! I like this a lot! I can see already that your style has matured! I’ve very interested now. XD

@ellette-giselle I’m designing the cover haha! I would love to have a few illustrations in it but I probably can’t afford it, sadly😭

Maybe for special editions one day though 👀

And yesss it is! A quote from Book 2🤭

@freed_and_redeemed

and yes! I’d love a snippet. But only if you want to share it.

@freed_and_redeemed

ack! So long to wait! I’m excited to read these. Do you have a cover artist/designer? Will you have it illustrated?

is your signature a quote from your book by any chance?!

I could potentially share a snippet of the first chapter here if y’all wanted though👀

@ellette-giselle

Atm it’s hard to say🙈 I think maybe, maybe I’m looking at a Spring 2027 release for the 1st book…though potentially earlier if I can get things finalized 🤫

@freed_and_redeemed

It is very rarely necessary to show it. I believe such topics can be handled with grace and truth without having to be graphic about it.

exactly!

So, when will these books be available?!

@ellette-giselle  It is very rarely necessary to show it. I believe such topics can be handled with grace and truth without having to be graphic about it.

There’s mainly 1 main character in KC that such topics are handled a lot, but I still do my best to keep it from getting graphic at all or getting too heavy.

But I have to discuss it wi…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

The overly graphic violence and other things are hinted at but kept off page.

Exactly. In my adult books I do give reference to it, but some things just don’t need to be shown. It doesn’t do anything for the story and is only there for sensation, you know? I addressed an issue of a girl who was abused by a gestapo officer,…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

They do need to be addressed, just not in a way that destroys innocence, glorifies it in a twisted way, or is just unnecessarily graphic.

I wholeheartedly agree. That’s one reason why KC is going to be 18+, will have a content warning at the beginning of the book, and won’t glorify such horrendous actions.

The overly graphic…[Read more]

and yes, people also need to be able to see the hope and the way to a new life which will only come through redemption in Christ.

It’s kinda both a way to show the victims that they are seen and a spur to action that such injustices need to come to an end

@freed_and_redeemed

That makes sense! I’m glad that a Christian author is choosing to address these issues. They do need to be addressed, just not in a way that destroys innocence, glorifies it in a twisted way, or is just unnecessarily graphic.

I believe bringing awareness to such issues can help others see how damaging those things are, but also help them see that the things they have lived through/endured don’t have to define who they are or who they have to become, something many family members and even myself, have had to learn and walk through.

I think bringing awareness to such…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I have a lot of family that have lived through abuse, seen addiction or were addicted, have dealt with homelessness, were neglected, etc. There are a lot of family members that have had to make/are making the choice to be the chain breakers, and I’ve watched as a lot of them have spent their whole life trying to heal from the…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

Well, here’s a question, if you’re willing to answer it, why are these things close to you? Like, different topics are important to different writers. I was curious why these are important to you. (I feel like we even glimpse some of them in the Broken and Redeemed Trilogy)

@ellette-giselle what would you like me to discuss first?
