I miss the days of being an unpublished writer when all I did with my free time was write and post #WIPSnips on Bluesky every day 🤣
Now I have to either promote Book 1 and soon Book 2 or prep a post or edit or format a manuscript or create a cover or cry over low sales or bad reviews 🤯

Happy #caturday! Kiki is helping me today, here's her book pitch: Buy Phoenix Rises, Dragon Soars: a fantasy as dark as me (Kiki), with characters as hunted as the mice I go after, magic that's as volatile as my moods, and gentler moments like when I allow my human to cuddle me.

Found another great review for Phoenix Rises, Dragon Soars!
I'll never tire of seeing these and knowing that my story and my characters become a part of people's lives, even if for a little while. And it's the first review from my home country, Germany, which makes it extra special.

Health crisis averted (hopefully). Time to plan the cover and release date reveal and ARC campaign for Tiger Cowers, Dragon Falls, work through edits, format the book, upload the manuscript, set up pre-orders and of course never stop marketing Phoenix Rises, Dragon Soars. Life of an #indieauthor

Looks like I'll have to take a step back from social media, writing and editing. I might be headed for more of a ME/CFS relapse than I thought but am still hoping to stave it off if I dial things down now. Hopefully it will only be a few days 🤞🏻

Not yet properly edited as I'm still getting back into Concord of Spirits after a year away, but I'm definitely rediscovering why I started writing this (definitely) grimdark fantasy in the first place.

A square graphic showing a book cover and text. The cover is on the left top two thirds, Reborn in Ash by Gabrielle Steele. On the right top two thirds is white text reading: Rated <a graphic of four and a half yellow stars> on Goodreads. What reviewers say: “A tale beautifully told” “The magic system was incredible” “A fast-paced epic fantasy” “Immersive, emotional, and truly enchanting”. Centred in the bottom thirds is a bullet point list reading: Dark epic fantasy, A thief whose revenge goes wrong, Gem-based elemental magic, Sapphic romance subplot, Found family. Cover description: The background is dark with a red-orange glow in a gap between the silhouettes of trees. The silhouette of a person fills most of the space between the trees. They are in an action stance, with twin swords raised, one either side, curving towards them defensively. One arm extends to the right, where three pointed stones hover, their tips aimed away from the person. The cover text is white, and the title font has some extended curved flourishes. Above the title is text reading, “When the thief falls, the mage will rise.”

There is something quite special about writing a book that's set in a world (loosely) inspired by feudal Japan, when you've been there only a couple of months ago and can actually see the streets you're describing in your memories. 🥰
