Selfie of me with the sword

A long shot of the entire sword - it’s looooooong

An old drawing of Matt and his sword (looking much shorter)

Matt on the cover of Hell Hath no Fury, Ashuan Lust Book 1 by Janna Ruth. No sword but demon wings 😁

Got the most exciting package! It’s from Arm-a-knight and it’s a custom made sword, modelled after a drawing I made 20 years ago: it’s Matt’s sword from Ashuan 🥰

"All I know is that [X] is scared to death that this dark presence inside of him will take over one day and hurt the people he loves. I highly doubt he’s the one the prophecy spoke of.”
“Who knows? The prophecy never said our saviour had to be a good guy.”

Almost done! 🥰

Another theme is homelessness and community and speaking up for those who don't usually have a voice.

#ParisianGhosts is all about personhood and dignity after death and maybe what makes us truly human, but also standing up against oppressors.

And lastly #Ashuan is such a long series, it's...

In #ParisianGhosts, everyone is a human ... they might be dead humans, but there's no other magic or fantasy race.

#Ashuan starts in our world, so the majority of all characters are human, while the classic vampires/werewolves are monsters of the week. I do have a weak spot for demons, though ;)

#UFMarch Day 19: I LOVE witches. The witches in #Ashuan are very nature-bonded. They know their way around herbs, potions, and spells, and they tend to the rivers of magic and protect the wider community. 🥰

#UFMarch Day 16: Oh, let's go. Demons are my favourite supernatural creature. Part of that is surely how they developed in my #Ashuan series. While they start out as blood-thirsty monsters who seemingly don't give a F about anyone other than themselves and whose lives are ruled by the 7 deadly sins

In #Ashuan, the parent figures are varied. Some are supportive and the sweetest, some are pretty normal, some are oblivious, others negligent, always clashing and even antagonistic. It's the whole spectrum, but then again, there are six MCs.

#UFMarch Day 14: Alright, let's talk about the Interglobal Parliament in #Ashuan 😁 After slowly expanding the world in season 2, we're going full steam in season 3 by adding ALL the worlds. Our world might be oblivious, but many others are a bit further along and they...

#UFMarch Day 8: In #Ashuan, one character gets bitten by a werewolf and slowly progresses towards a beast. There is no cure (so far) and if they aren't healed soon, their mind will devolve further and further until they're more beast than human - so not so cool 😅

Matt, of course. He's a part of the #Ashuan series, and a half-demon, who grew up in Hell with a completely different moral code. He's good-looking, charming, cool, and has a badass sword, but unlike many humans, he's incredibly tolerant and open-minded... but he might kill you 😏

Doing #Ashuan for this one:

Fabian: drawing, pets, swimming
Samantha: magic, potions, singing
Lucille: shopping, fashion, flirting
Rachel: reading, dreaming
Jan: hanging with friends, gaming, partying
Matt: f***ing 🤣 okay, okay, he changed by now, still likes it though

#writinglifemonthly #booksky

First instinct: Yes, they're awesome people and I really love them. I consider the #Ashuan crew my best friends.

My characters: Do friends torture each other? Kill their loved ones? Set them up for identity crisis?

On second thought, it might be safer if I don't. 😅

Magic? ;) Like Fabian really hates, how every aspect of his life is magic now, and of course the new monster wants to kill him. Like seriously, can't a guy catch a break here! No, he does not want to hunt it, that's a surefire way to get killed...
