Raising Spirits

It’s still quite complicated as far as overall progress, but another 1000+ words is progress of a sort.
I’m super happy with the latest work. I just need to get things more pulled together before I can comfortably provide more concrete updates.

Book Fair recap! $32 donated to Transparent Closet

The Spring Break Book Fair was awesome this weekend.
I did a promo and for each purchase made, I donated $2 to Transparent Closet. That’s an organization at FCC that collects and distributes clothes to transgender folks.
I hope you are doing something to celebrate this Trans Day of Visibility.

Thanks for sharing! It’s live on my shop and soon be everywhere audiobooks are sold as it passes through reviews and distributes out. 🥰

Raising Spirits Update
It’s complicated? What is that supposed to mean?
I’ve been writing out what it would be like to follow the other’s story. I might have been following the wrong one. There have been new words lately (6800+ including this evening) but overall progress is hard to capture yet.

Raising Spirits

Those folks on my newsletter already found out, but now you all know the title of book three of my cozy fantasy series, Aberterrene.
It’s a delightfully whimsical cozy horror story that collides Nightmare Before Christmas with Beauty and the Beast.

At least it missed you too

Describe your plot in five words or less - if you dare.

Distilled Magic:
Creating change and community.

Social Sorcery:
Accepting assistance and yourself.

Soooo very soon on Social Sorcery. I should have the files back any day now and once I review and verify with the automated checkers I’ll release it
Sooooon!
Always good to grab a physical copy as well for the trophy case 🥰

It's World Book Day. So go read Distilled Magic and Social Sorcery by Alex Peachy (@inlightsyrup.com) ✨️🏳️‍⚧️❤️

My alpha reader (my wife) read the first seven chapters of my next cozy fantasy novel. She felt the story had potential and was good, but she struggled a bit in her feedback before admitting she felt it was too slow and a bit boring. 😂
Maybe she’ll like what are now the first six chapters. 🥰

Getting very close to finishing the first 20%. My partner, who is my best alpha reader, will give me some feedback, then as long as all is well, I’ll be sharing details. 🥰

Distilled Magic is more slice of life in a goblin warren featuring a transgender woman finding her place in goblin society and learning alchemy.

Book three details coming soon. In the meantime, Social Sorcery offers light adventure as a trio of artificery apprentices seek materials for their mentor’s grand invention. He’s a grumpy old gnome who reluctantly took on the trio when he realized he really needed help.

Details on the characters coming soon. The world is Aberterrene, which is the high fantasy setting of my cozy fantasy novels. Each is a stand alone. The first is Distilled Magic. The second is Social Sorcery. 🥰

Nothing too much to note tonight other than more progress on my next cozy fantasy novel. It is coming along fairly well at this point. I think I may be able to share the title and some hints on the story soon.

The numbers are deceptive tonight because I reworked a portion of the story and also spent a chunk of time researching so that I can accurately put some activities in my next cozy fantasy novel.

I’d love to be further along but it is what it is. Last week was rough. I was on-call and we had 3 major incidents during my week. Not fun and pretty much no writing. But, that’s behind me and I’m writing again and words are adding up bit by bit in my next cozy fantasy novel.

Drinking Mountaineer Bourbon

Added 1,081 words to my next cozy fantasy novel.

I need cook dinner tonight for the family so I got some writing in beforehand on my next cozy fantasy novel. I may get back to it, but I also need to continue listening to the Social Sorcery narration so I can get it out for mastering.

Got a late start and a lot of the evening was gone by the time I had a chance to write. I still made some progress on my next cozy fantasy novel. Next up is a lot of dialogue and I knew I was too tired to channel my characters well enough.
