If it happens this weekend I will accept Jesus into my life

Really love this cover art!

Perceive my willful disregard for the art of storytelling, and despair

Screenshot of text where the line reads, “…caught on fire from a spurt of fire…”

Revisions keeping me humble 💀

Has this dipshit of an administration put The Onion headlines out of business at this point?

The protestors were peaceful, too. Our state is very small, and everyone knows someone. Tick tock, local boys in blue, you will be identified.

McBeardie was inside the store with me the whole time

“Give girl!” the Corruptor screeched, high and shrill. It didn’t seem possible, but its hide turned a deeper shade of black. Kaleela raised her bow. “I’m not to be given.” Before the Corruptor could move, it fell with an arrow in the center of its chest, shrieking as it hit the ground. The cry was answered with another, and then a multitude of unhinged screams up the path. Kaleela pulled back a new arrow, patiently waiting for a target.” Excerpt From In the Name of Honor Collins This material may be protected by copyright.

And for the lady, perhaps an arrow through thine enemy’s body?

Art drawing of a couple kissing in a forest. She is half elven with long blonde hair and pale skin. She wears a cream colored chemise under a green dress. He has dark hair that reaches his shoulders, blown by a breeze. He wears a blue tunic. They’re embracing each other as they kiss, golden brown leaves cascading down around them. Artist is Arandanity.

Head over heels in love with this new artwork of Dimitar and Kaleela by Arandanity 💞🍂❤️‍🔥🍁

Read about them in this scene from our sequel, IN THE NAME OF PRIDE 💚🏹
