Azshure Raine 🍎 🌹 Romantasy and Retellings

Sometimes I still think I can write.

To be honest life has been just so busy, with 3 kids in 3 different schools I find most of my time is spent day dreaming, and maybe jotting down notes, if I have the chance. But Time to write is hard to find. Its slow going.

But there is development happening

Coming out of retirement to say "I'm writing again, and this time, it involves math, elements from the periodic table, and numerology."

Out with the old, in with the new. Times change, and so can covers.

That's right, ReBirth+ is getting a fresh new look.

More info to come! Including a cover reveal date for all 4 new covers and ARCs

Watch this space.

In the coming months a few things will be happening, including the release of my second Twisted Retelling: Death Like Sleep at the beginning of 2026.

Something exciting is coming for ReBirth.

One more, one last time

I'm dragging myself out of hiatus to say that my funny, smutty, romcom romantasy That Time I Was Kidnapped by the Fae King is part of the #naratessindiesale

Mybook.to/Kidnapped

So, I'm gonna likely be on hiatus while I find myself again. I'll lurk though, so if you should need me... you know where to find me.

Social Media hasn't been very... helpful lately. I know I should be marketing Kidnapped, or talking about my next retelling, but it's been hard to focus on anything other than nothing. I'm hoping this project will help me find my voice and joy for writing again.

Excuse me while I start a new, secret project.

Do readers like the idea of a Bounty hunter falling for their mark who happens to be a fallen angel? Demons may also be involved.

Is it a tomato? Or is it a pepper?!

I'm open to all loving embraces, and discord.

I have no retort for that, as I drink is plain AF. No milk. No honey. No sugar.

Just hot leaf water with ice.

Oh yes please! Might help cause I've been struggling lately. And I'll forgive your dislike of tea.

41-year-old Mom of 3 and author looking to be adopted by a group of like-minded ladies.

Writes smut
Encourages the use of cl*t
Loves tea and books

Needs accountability for putting words on page.

The Diamond Queen’s head tilted to the side as she smiled, wide, fangs showing. “Then you’ll be mine.”

Finally got the kids to watch Kpop Demon Hunters

I asked them all their favorite characters. And is as follows

15: the cat
11: the cat
9: the cat and Zoey

In That Time I Was Kidnapped by the Fae King, Bryn is the MC. It's her story. And she lives every Book Girly's dream of taking a Fae deal and having him take her away from the life she once knew. All while rescuing him from himself.

This goes well with yesterday's prompt too, which i totally flaked on.

From That Time I Was Kidnapped by the Fae King

"Bryn's underthings" was the first thing I saw and nodded in agreement.

Today I wanted to write. But instead my 15 year old sat next to me and word vomited all his knowledge of PCs, PC parts, and computer world drama.

I listened. Because I want him to know he can talk to me, even if it means I can't do what I wanted to do in the first place.

What if I said a Fae shifter was reunited with his p*nis? Would that intrigue you?

"one more, one last time"

no really. I try to sneak this phrase in at least once a book, IYKYK

So apparently I've been tagged like 4 times on this and BS never told me. Sorry @kiraofthewind.com @boldickv.bsky.social and @5feetofredfury.bsky.social I never saw them!

5 favs!

Food: Tacos
Season: Fall
Drink: Basic bitch black tea
Color: Blue
Anime: Elfen Lied

They all laughed at the "that's one big pile of shit."

I still have a good chunk memorized and made 15 roll his eyes.

They agreed Nedry got what he deserved.
