Wren and Molly pretended to be a couple the first time they met this jerk so he would quit pestering Wren. They were also pretending they worked for Spencer.

From book 2 of my romantic fantasy series about a priest of the dead and a thief with a heart of gold.

Moodboard for THE GODS OF ATALANTIS featuring:

Ancient board games, temples with waterfalls pouring into pools, neat ancient fantasy cities, forehead kisses, frolicking in canals amid a palace, beautiful island coastlines, more ancient cities, and cool statues of strange gods.

Center Quote: โ€œFrom the day you left this village, you became more than merely yourself. You are the Sea Mother. This is the role fate has placed upon you. I told you when you left that I believed this path has opened up to you for a reason. I still believe that. Youโ€™ve been given a chance that few others ever haveโ€”the chance to change the world for the better. Iโ€™d even dare say itโ€™s your duty to do so, now that you have the means.โ€

Digital painting by me of Mireia, the MC of my Atlantis trilogy, standing with her arms spread out in front of a carved wall relief of her goddess alter-ego, Mu'u the Sea Mother. Mireia is a teenage girl with light brown skin, long dark brown wavy hair, and gray eyes, wearing a blue garment that clasps at her left shoulder, a wide purple cloth belt, and a few pieces of gold jewelry. Mu'u is a feminine figure with a large coral-like headdress, obsidian eyes, and seven scaly arms holding various objects: a skull, a fish, a hammer, a lyre, a bundle of lightning bolts, a swaddled baby, and a small boat. Behind her is a background of cliffs and sea waves full of ocean creatures & human figures sunk at the bottom.

The specific product I want to figure out is the Numenspec, a head implant that when activated projects a smartphone-like screen right on your eyeballs.

It'll be important in the story, & it's the most interesting numentech product so a good way to explore the whole system #Charagma

It doesn't hurt at that point, he doesn't feel pain or much physical sensation. It will hurt as it heals, which is y'know. Symbolism โœจ

Oh, "the ghost" or "the thrall" is how Farley sometimes refers to Caspen at the beginning, before any relationship development happens

Glowing fungi are abundant in the Somdiabra Plane. So much so that flowers are drawn to them & its vibrant colors.

Flowers with corkscrew shaped petals pulsating each hue they are closest to until none of its color remain. Consuming the mushroom completely.

Lastak has a pretty deep wound in her left shoulder from a training 'accident' when she was younger. It affects her on and off. She also manages to reopen it a couple of times but won't get it treated because of scars that would give her identity away on her lower arm.

A shojo style art piece featuring two men first looking at each other, foreheads pressed together as they smile gently. Another panel shows them kissing. The taller man is Sasha, with pale skin and short light brown hair and scruff on his chin. He's wearing leather armor and a green tunic. The shorter man is Galen, with tan skin and long auburn hair pulled into a bun. He has a large burn scar on his face and neck. He is wearing a yellow tunic.

Overlaid is a meme that reads: "you'll die for me. awesome. will you break a habit for me? will you learn something new for me? will you fix your mistakes for me? dying for me is surprisingly easy - it's often passive and instantaneous and you only need to do it once. will you do the hard thing of constantly and consistently putting in the work again and again and again?

Clara has a scar on her right hand. Itโ€™s from Wesley biting her when they first met as kids. She actually likes it, since it was the only thing she had to remember him by for a long time.

But, she did have to hide it at first, and made up an excuse later.

Owen has nerve damage in his right ankle from where handcuffs cut into him, & a burn on his wrist in the shape of a ฮ” (D for Donovan, Delta for Change...not to be confused w/ Delta for Charlie).

Beneath the rainbowed waterfall
I saw a tail - just for a moment
For half a second my heart stopped hating
Under the canopy trail of blue
I saw a wing blot the paled out moon
Within the crepsular fog I saw him loom
He ate my cold heart and gave me a red red bud
Waiting to bloom

The magic in the Havetsavain world is sentient, and always adapting, advancing as nature progresses.

For instance the battle bred Psykings came from the tinkering Gnomes.

Power hunger fueled rituals created a whole new culture.
