"Three women find themselves thrown into the middle of magic, politics, and war, and may be the only hope the world has to prevent the rise of a god."

"A kingdom had already fallen, and the remaining four kingdoms struggled to survive. The Archival Accord, a group of magical librarians and researchers, have become the last line of defense, and they are not prepared for the war that is brewing as a forgotten false god grows in power.

"The world had been slowly falling into chaos since The Collapse. Rogue magic roamed the land, destroying everything in its path, wreaking havoc on the laws of nature. Demons, always hungry for flesh, raid settlements and prowl the deepest and darkest parts of the land.

While "Midnight Bakery" is still a WIP, my attention has returned to a piece that is near and dear to me. I have been working on this WIP for several years, and it is time to finally finish it.

Let me introduce "Rise of a God", the first book in the "World of the Godless" series

Well, it's been quite a year. Eight months have passed without posting, and what a crazy eight months it has been. In short, I was laid off on Valentine's Day (if you know, you know), got a new job, and navigated a new world of stress, anxiety, and uncertainty. But the words shall continue!

They are correct

Black cat is mood

Anyway, there needs to be more characters with misophonia and other sound sensitivity disorders.

It would have helped young me in knowing I was not crazy, and open the eyes of many readers of this condition.

Had to resort to digging nails into skin and scratching the area to the point where it became raw. The need and want to cover my ears, to escape was overwhelming, but I couldn't. That would be unprofessional. It took all of my energy to keep a neutral face, to not make a scene.

I have misophonia (which doesn't work well with my ADHD), and during a meeting today there was NOISE. Clicking of pens, tapping of hands on a chair, clicking of a mouse, smacking of lips, multiple people talking all at once... it became too much.

Does it count as writing if you think about your WIP at work?

- a paladin who had sworn to kill every necromancer in the kingdoms. The two women dance a fragile balance between death, healing, and love. Brought together by tragedy, would the same enemy they share be the one who breaks them apart?"

"A necromancer hiding from her dark past finds temporary peace in her bakery, where she spends her days making the best sourdough bread known in the kingdom. Her peace is interrupted when a wounded paladin haunted by fire seeks respite from her failure -

Time to introduce one of my main projects (I have so many but let's focus on one at a time): "Midnight Bakery". It's a bit cozy fantasy, bit dark fantasy - perfect blend of Dark Cozy. The summary is below:

To the authors / artists / game devs / fiber artists / musicians out there thinking "how can I possibly promote my works NOW? is it even ethical to ask people to spend their limited money on my creative works?"

Art is necessary. Expression is necessary. It's basic survival for the soul/spirit/mind.

Now she spends her time as a map scientist by day and writer by night. Her experiences in the field have inspired much of her writing, which includes elements of dark and high fantasy, as well as the themes on the beauty, magic, and danger of nature and science.

A little more on my background and writing interests:

Maggie grew up fascinated by science and biology, which led her to the career path that involved diving for freshwater mussels, wading in deep water for alligator gar, and hiking hundreds of miles to search for an elusive high-elevation toad.

Hello and welcome! My name is Maggie, and I look at toads and make maps for a living. When I'm not in the boondocks making friends with bears, I'm either attempting the writing thing, reading in a hammock, playing games, or watching anime.
