Went to the store and they had this Halloween soap with a little Dracula cape around it. The soap was red, and I almost picked it up because who doesn't want to wash their hands in the blood of their enemies?!

Okay, but Askefise literally opens with the following:

Chapter 1

"Is he dead?"
I nudge him with the toe of my boot. "I don't think so."

I made these bracers inspired by our character, Rhioa.

Yes! Books 2,4, and 6 of our series are steampunk 😁

Five star review for The Living Stone by Niamh Schmid Great read accompanied by some chameleon tea (made me laugh)! A great blend of magic, world building! The steampunk elements are really cool, too! The story keeps you captivated and wanting to turn the page. I really love how the answers to questions unfold alongside the plot, rather than being told everything up front. It's an aspect of this entire series that I really appreciate. You come to care for these characters in book 2 of the series, but it's been amazing in this book learning more of the characters' backstory. It adds so much to them and you come to appreciate each one even more! Really nice to see Baey come into her own, her growth, but also everything she brings to the table and her friendship with Sven and Estasia! Sven and Estasia remain two of my favorites! Exciting action, made all the more satisfying for the training leading up to it! The chapters with Skayla offer incredible insight into her character, motivations, and even possibly what happened to her! I really feel for Tanner and the burden of his power. Each character offers so much insight about different aspects of the world! Complex characters with complex relationships. And the new characters quickly fall into the category of favorites, as well (looking at Marion in particular!) The shocks and the heart break and the hopelessness and then the twists in part two that I never saw coming!!! It's everything I fell in love with in this series, keeping you absolutely enthralled until the last page and immediately needing more! Great read accompanied by some chameleon tea (made me laugh)!

Five star review of Princesses Kaguya's Lunar Leap by Mel Tong! Japanese mythology in a Princess Bride style retelling! What a fun way to learn about a myth! I was unfamiliar with the story of Princess Kaguya and simply could not pass up the combination of Japanese mythology in a Princess Bride style retelling! This mother son duo was a sweet juxtaposition/foil to Kaguya's own sad ending. The story itself is told in a really fun way and I enjoyed the interjections, theories, interpretations, and the realism of the characters' interactions. Between the son's humorous alien conspiracies and the mother's thoughtful consideration for the power of such stories, it made for a highly enjoyable read.

February's indie reads!!!

If you buy my book, I’ll name my firstborn child after you.

Note: don’t tell my wife

Fine print: I probably won’t name a child after you unless your name is already on my wife’s baby name list.

Finer print: huzzah

From book 6(unedited):

The last sentence was empty. Empty like Sven was. The kind of numb that wished it could force more tears.

An excerpt from a letter, saying, "I love your hair! It is very unique, and I could never build up all the courage it takes to get hair like yours!"

Got to do a book presentation/writing workshop for a local 5th grade class. It was a great experience--the kids were all very excited. They even wrote us the sweetest thank you letters 💙

That being said, I'm pretty sure one of them completely roasted me 🤣🤣🤣 Not sure I can recover from this one 😭🤣

there's a very special, unbreakable bond between writer and that one synonym they learned years ago which they have since proceeded to make a core part of their personality, using it any chance they get

Ahhh hello!

I usually love editing and polishing more than drafting and early edits (and also I have to get back into this project I haven't touched for like a year and change). But I can do it! 🍕

From our book 2:

I took a bet that it wasn’t poison. I dared not use much of it, however, as we had a long journey ahead and I still wasn’t quite sure what it did. But at the very least, it was keeping him alive.

Love the description in this!

From our book 6:

“Please.” The legitimate desperation in his voice was something I hadn’t heard from Maeko since Serafina’s death.
Guilt burned my cheeks as I realized what I had put my friend through again, all because I couldn’t pull the trigger.
