A thief who survived the apocalypse. His greatest enemy: His cruel brother who has recently reappeared.

Wanna learn more about Arkan & his “harmonious“ family? I plan to release my novel in October or November, but I’m already spilling some tea in my newsletter! (Mostly spoiler-free, of course.)

This Trans Day of Visibility, what I want most of all is for trans people to be allowed to be self-centred in the best possible meaning of that term:

- To centre our survival
- To centre our material needs
- To centre our emotional needs
- To centre our souls, our dreams, our reasons for living

A colourful butterfly in trans flag colours to celebrate international transgender day of visibility.

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility!

You are seen. You are heard. You are loved. Everyone should continue to fight for the freedom to be who we are.

WIP update for my debut fantasy novel:

I‘m officially done with developmental editing!!

Exhausted and blissful right now 😂

💙🪐📚 #amwritingfantasy #indieauthor #booksky

I recently shared the artwork of all my three protagonists in my newsletter as an exclusive sneak-peak.

So I figured, I can at least show the main character’s art to the general public now! *drumroll*

Meet Arkan, the ashfolk thief!

Book release in late 2025 😁

Less than three weeks before my manuscript gets sent to my sensitivity readers. 👀

I do! But my eyeballs hurt 😆

Thank you so much! Yes, I read so many authors cursing the process, I was kinda afraid of it - and I’m very happy it’s different for me!

😁😁

It's so easy to lose hope when you read news headlines and hear combative commentary. That is why books are so important. They are windows to worlds unseen and realities yet to be created.

And people are READING. They're reading a lot. A very very hopeful sign. #librarysky #booksky

WIP Update: Reached the milestone of 50% for the second round of dev editing my debut fantasy novel!

Very happy with how everything evolves, and I’m positively surprised how much I love this process 😊

💙🪐📚 #amwritingfantasy #indieauthor #booksky

My chapter lengths are wildly different, partially intentional. As I get closer to the climax and the pace increases, I deliberately wrote shorter chapters. Whatever fits the story best!

The ones that break my heart. When stuff happens to a character that I basically just wanna cuddle them and bring them cocoa.

I wrote a blog post! :-) Hopefully an interesting read for someone.

Embodiment: Why feeling our bodies is crucial for writing

A great story is not just a result of a good plot and a conflict that matters…

I love both. When we do a reading evening, I read physical books. At night in bed, I prefer my e-reader. I don’t need a separate light on, it’s good for the eyes, and as I‘m becoming an old dude, I‘m pretty happy about not needing glasses in bed 😂

March exclusive for newsletter subscribers: Full character art reveal for all three protagonists!

In my upcoming newsletter, I‘ll reveal the complete set of character art for my protagonists: Arkan, Jijiro and Narynel.

A conflict between two brothers that turns into a fight for the future of a city state. A mage that hunted by evil spellcasters who used her for experiments. A vampire hunting elf with a dark past.
