Laken Honeycutt 💫 Star of Shalik releases Feb.1st💫

A perfect gift for the holiday season. 🎁✨

Ancient forests, bioluminescent trees and unforgettable characters await in The Chrysillium Tree.

With Star of Shalik releasing Feb 1, now’s the best time to dive in! Though it can be read as a standalone, the magic lands deeper if you start here.

Yes! Same! I look forward to those cozy snow days but my best ideas have come walking in the woods 😆💛

When two very divergent cultures collide… #WIPSnips from KOSAL for “smash”.

Thank you so much! TikTok has some great choices! And I hear you—music is so inspiring and I too have to be careful of falling into creative brain before bed. Late nights are my preferred write time but it doesn’t go well with my work schedule. See you at 5amwritersclub! 💖

Working on KOSAL ch3 edits this morning. Have to admit this is going very slowly this week—I am exhausted! There’s a lot going on IRL and also behind the scenes of SoS. Hope to catch up on edits the weekend.

Also looking forward to more snow ❄️✨

Happy Writing! 🪄💫

Yes! I totally agree! As an indie author, I believe in reading my fellow indie authors’ work - alpha, beta, ARC, and of course buying their books for myself and as gifts. Readers are so very important! 💛

💫 8 weeks until Star of Shalik! 💫

Though book 2 can be read as a standalone, here’s Reason #1 you might want to start with The Chrysillium Tree:


✨ enchanted forests & sacred, bioluminescent trees ✨

A quiet, atmospheric world to slip into before book 2 arrives Feb 1.

Yes, this is very interesting and I appreciate the way you explored it.

Ouchy pipe 😂 Poor Ben! I am wincing for him… sounds very painful.

The Lumani are the conduits of Ulli’s magic… magic born of starlit trees, strengthened by a sacred grove. #WIPSnips from KOSAL subbing “channel” for “pipe”

And is this what came out of that revisiting of the story? This scene?

Beautiful photo! ❄️🤍

Love being back inside the world of KOSAL 🖤🌙 Working on chapter 2 edits this morning. Here’s a little video I created for this chapter a few months ago…

Happy writing, friends! 🪄✨

This is delightfully dark and fantastical 🖤 I love the ancient feel to it… as always, your words are totally captivating.

Oh wow! Love this 😍 Look at that detail and the setting 💛

Beautiful digital painting by @nushdeco.bsky.social. Clara and Mem Blake, two twin sisters in their early twenties, stand back to back in the center at a tilted angle with a city landscape behind them. They are both white and blonde with blue eyes; Clara wears white and red clothes and holds a crossbow, her long hair flowing in the wind, Mem wears gray and blue clothes with her hair tied back in a bun under a scarf. Mem's expression is haughty and determined, Clara's expression is innocent and a little sad. They are surrounded by a ring of fiery light with curving shadows reaching around them. The city towers over them in the background: it is a bunch of decorated towers and floating basalt islands connected by light bridges. In the center of the sky above everything, a golden seraph with six wings hovers, two wings covering their face and two covering their feet.

New commission by the very lovely & talented @nushdeco.bsky.social!!

It's my twin girls Clara & Mem Blake from #Charagma. Nush absolutely knocked this one out of the park! It's so beautiful 😍

That’s beautiful. Looks like something out of a fantasy story 🤩✨

✨ Starlight • Shadow • Magic ✨

A conscript hiding forbidden magic.
A demon who walks the dreamworld.
A choice that may change their world.

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 😊✨

How oblivious the Azantium are to the cages of their own design… Selania receiving the histories from her grandmother on the Eve of her coronation. #WIPSnips from KOSAL for “design”

Yes! The ultimate compliment for you and your book 😊✨ I’m looking forward to reading it - sounds amazing and well-deserved!

Congratulations! 🎉 ✨

❄️ Winter magic…

The setting will captivate.
The plot will grip you.
But the characters will never let you go.

The Chrysillium Tree — out now.
A lush fantasy to sink into this winter. 🌙

This sounds very interesting… love the idea of this fourth rule and its obscurity.

It’s years… Appreciate the question! earlier in the MS moons are used for months so I hope this helps the reader understand the time measurement… what do you think? Do you think that would be enough or do you think I should offer some further clarification?

Selania’s son, Luan, is the fourth-born Shalik. He is young in this snip and not yet begun his training… #WIPSnips from KOSAL for “fourth”
