Revision process on You Cannot Drown A Shadow is moving along. It’s so much more work than I expected, especially for the chapters that require full rewrites.

At this point, I’m just having fun with the new stuff I get to add while making sure the continuity lines up 🫢

🎨 New Art Reveal! 🎨

This piece features Tal battling a centaur-ish creature called an ijiraq. I love how she turned out!

At least 3 more artworks still to come for An Emperor's Gamble - stay tuned for the reveals.

Would any authors care to take a look at a short book blurb (that I intend to go on the back cover) and let me know if it makes sense? πŸ“–

I don’t use this app a ton but whenever I log in and I just see people posting about their books and art, it feels like a breath of fresh air. Seriously considering checking in here more often than the other place

I got tired of zombie stories about a decade ago, but I’d love to see one where the punchline isn’t that *gasp* humans are bad.

I want to see zombies as the real threat. The surviving humans should be there because their cooperation and compassion got them through.

But nope, too optimistic I guess

May or may not have booked a tat appointment in LA with my dream artist for late December without having any plans of how to get there yet or what else I’ll do πŸ˜…

As a member of the secretive order of the Zwe, Jae’s wardrobe varies widely. His everyday uniform consists of a cropped top with a belted hem, pants, & a cloak. He’ll never leave those knives at home! πŸ‘€

Jae’s intentions are selfish early on; he just wants to find his place in the world. That alone is a lofty goal for him and changing it isn’t even on his radar.
