A snip from my current work in progress.

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WIPSnips #AmWriting

So far this year I completed the goal of publishing my first book, Veiled Desires, through Amazon and have completed the prologue of my next book titled Grit and Ruin. My new goal is to keep up the momentum and see if I can get a chapter a month.

My goal for the week is to get the prologue and first chapter of my next book in progress written and handed off for editing. Progress has already been made and I'm excited to see it continue.

Whether as a writer or a reader, what are some of your favorite literary tropes?

One of mine is "the all-night diner" which will be included in my next book Grit & Ruin.

Looking for a LGBTQ+ story with a trans lead, M/M romance, fantasy elements, and a healthy BDSM relationship that centers on self discovery? Veiled Desires is now part of Kindle Unlimited.

I would be lying to claim I wasn't the third. Something that I have learned is it doesn't matter how well I plot and outline, my characters can and will find a way off course to add another chapter.

Another snippet from Asher's first meeting with Sylas in my next book.

Something that I was most proud of when writing Veiled Desires was representing the aftercare that is part of a healthy BDSM relationship.

For the #WIPSnips June 9th: Shame
A small WIP from my current project.

#WIP #Booksky #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #Writesky #Grit&Ruin

There are many points in life where a single decision can change a person's entire trajectory. These defining moments were seldom ones that stood out at the time they presented themselves. Had Asher known that he was facing such a crossroads, then perhaps he might have turned left that evening.

I will write the occasional scene out of order to bridge them together, but prefer to write linearly for the most part.
