I suspect once you get to 8, readers are no longer checking the back matter to see what the book is about?

The cover for Tales of Lunis Aquaria Volume 2 by Tessa Hastjarjanto

The cover for Tales of Lunis Aquaria Volume 2 by Tessa Hastjarjanto

I'm listening through Tales of Lunis Aquaria, Vol 2 as a last check.

This volume has eight new stories set in Lunis Aquaria, pick a number between 1 and 8 and I'll give a non-spoilery snippet from the story of your choice!

(if someone picks the same number, I'll post a different line)

I think that’s approximately what I’ll end up with for Frankie’s series as well. If I can pull it off!!

I’m thinking about trying to pull exactly this off with my other series too. Are you going to have the same characters through each book or new casts in a shared world?

So much of BRIGHTWASH’s success is because I yapped about it while I was drafting and so my social circle was all set to cheer me on when it was ready! But now?! I have to be a secret keeper when that runs against my natural state of being!! I am a yapper to the core!!!

The hardest part of drafting Book 3 in a series is that I desperately want to yap about my progress but just about everything will be spoilery πŸ˜† Case in point:

I just thought of a scene where [Redacted] meets [Redacted2] for the first time and I cannot wait to destroy everyone’s emotional core!!

Check out the new character art done by @janjanartsss.bsky.social! My crowdfund project has met its second stretch goal, so we're getting LOTS of art!

I doubt if we'll get the audio since that needs $3k more, but let's keep going!

It looks fantastic! Too short isn’t so bad, because it means you get to groove a bit longer before you need another trim πŸ˜†

Around here there used to be an outdoor zoo you could drive through, and they had buffalo out there and I cannot CONCEIVE of folks who would willingly put their bodies in front of a wild animal that big for a selfie πŸ˜† we were happy to see them from the car!!
