The group that claims to protect the realm has been breaking it from within, and the bond between Ri and Drix is the first one strong enough to expose everything.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

#Romantasy authors:

I’m looking for #critique partners who are willing to read my new novel HEIRBOUND (112K words, romantasy with #progression elements) and also let me read theirs.

I’d like #feedback on story, characters, worldbuilding, magic structures, and on political subthemes.

Interested?

I have finished the first draft of my latest #novel, but I have questions for the hive mind.

It's a 112K word, #LitRPG #progression fantasy and forced proximity/enemies-to-lovers #romantasy hybrid.

In #querying, which would you focus on:
A. romantasy
B. progression fantasy
C. both

I’m working on the sequel to BUT NOW I’M FOUND…a serial deepfaker is ruining reputations and dropping bodies, and eventually goes after Quinn once she gets on the story. I’m calling it FACE VALUE.

Incredible feedback from a couple of my beta readers. Maybe Quinn Campbell and BUT NOW I’M FOUND has life after all! Now I just need an agent to read it and feel the same way!

More coming soon!

I'm convincing you to like the characters from my upcoming mainstream romance novel TANGLED LINES ( #Enemies2Lovers, #TorturedSlowBurn, #ForcedProximity ) based on these exchanges.

I love Theo and Ivy, and I hope you like them, too! I can't wait to see where this story takes us!

I just finished Chapter 3 of the mainstream #romance #novel I'm writing!

Theo and Ivy are still sniping at each other every chance they get. Ivy's bubbly, larger-than-life personality drives grumpy, judgmental Theo crazy, but there's something about her he just can't put his finger on.

In my #romance #novel, my #MMC and #FMC are traveling together to Milan for a 2-wk stay. I was there a few years ago, but only spent 1 day there. If you’ve been to #Milan, what are some places that a pair of travel writers should go to for a review piece on Milan?

I wish I could make a living as a professional author. Maybe I can lay the groundwork now so I can do it once I retire. There’s something so magical about developing a strong main character, putting them in unusual situations, & letting them work their way through it. Telling stories is so much fun.

I’m a little upset at this.

I use ZeroGPT to check if audiobook audition scripts are AI-generated, so I thought I’d check a few lines of the romance novel I’m writing in the detector, and this is what I got. WTF!

Every word written out of my own imagination, and the detector thinks otherwise. UGH!

Ivy stares at the photo caption, weighing whether or not she should hit submit. She sighs, rolls her neck slightly, and deletes the caption. Maybe she should try her best to make this work.

“Move it along, lovebirds,” someone says behind Theo, and he spins to look at the man, disgust on his face.

How do you know when a new idea is itching to get out of your brain and onto paper?

When you write almost 10K words in two days, and you end the day literally smiling at what you wrote.

This romance idea is really amazing, and I'm really really enjoying it so far!

I’ve fallen completely in love with my new #romance novel idea. Theo Irving and Ivy Sinclair are incredible characters.

Also, one benefit of working on a new story is allowing me to clear my head, making the edits on my crime thriller novel so much easier.

I just sat down at my computer and wrote 3,000 words in Chapter 1 of the mainstream romance novel I'm working on, and it felt good. 🙂

I love putting two characters into a situation, and let their dialogue and personal discoveries determine where the chapter goes.

There are few things better than the #writing research process...and I absolutely LOVE the beginning parts of #storycraft. And this new #romance is gonna be 🔥🔥🔥! Two rival travel writers are about to learn that the greatest adventure isn't the one they are on—but it's the one they never saw coming.
