Intro to My WIPs

 Happy Wednesday! 

Wow look at that, an actual blog post that isn't a monthly wrap up! It's a miracle haha I know I keep saying this, but I really do hope to get more regular on posting on here even if its only twice a month instead of just once a month. Its just been such a struggle to find words to write on here, hence the reason I'm starting out easy with a writing update! 

I've been working on a lot of different projects this year. I've had a hand in a little bit of everything and thought it would be fun (and helpful) to do an intro and share a little about each of them on here along with my plans for them in the future. 

The Archive Series Books 3-5: 

Book 3: Scarlet Phoenix 

Book 4: Black Rose 

Book 5: Indigo Star 

Scarlet Phoenix Aesthetic

Scarlet Phoenix has gone to my alpha reader and has gone through all the edits and has been mostly polished and is pretty much ready to be published. I'll probably go over it one more time, and of course, there's formatting to do to make it look nice and everything. Scarlet Phoenix will be out this November! (Official date coming soon). 

Black Rose Aesthetic 

Black Rose just went through a read through and minor edits and is now in the hands of my alpha reader. I'm hoping to have it published in March 2023. 

Indigo Star Aesthetic

I'm currently doing a read through and minor edits on Indigo Star. I've been trying to knock out as many edits as I can the past few months, so I'm plowing through the Archive Series. My plan is to do a rapid release for Black Rose and Indigo Star. So, Black Rose in March 2023 and Indigo Star in May 2023. 

A little about The Archive Series: 

Books one and two (Golden Touch and Emerald Phantom) are already out and you can get them both on Amazon. If you like... 

  • Clean young adult series 
  • Older sister/younger brother healthy relationships 
  • Antagonist becomes a begrudging ally trope 
  • Cute, slow burn romance 
  • Morally gray characters 
  • Secret societies
  • A selfless protagonist 
  • Mystical objects and magic that gives off Haven from the Syfy channel vibes 

Then you'll enjoy this series! 

Immortal Circus: 

I wrote this back in April I think it was and enjoyed every second of it. I'm a little bit obsessed with vampires and werewolves, so whenever I get an idea for a story that involves either of them (or both of them) I jump on and have the best time. This book has gone through a few rounds of edits, but I'm still kind of figuring out what to do with the first draft. I have about 10K written in the sequel so far, but I'm kind of giving myself a break from writing, so that's been put on hold. I'm not sure when this one will come out. Maybe, possibly, next year, but I'm not sure. 



But if you like... 

  • Vampires and werewolves 
  • Magicians 
  • Expansive supernatural world within our world 
  • Circus theme/setting 
  • Chosen one trope 
  • Found family 
  • Fluffy moments 
  • Road trip vibes 
  • Ensemble casts 
  • An MC who's a little rough around the edges 

Then you'll enjoy Immortal Circus! 

IWWP: 

I'll be sharing the official title of this book soon, but for now it's going to continue to be known as IWWP. This one has also gone through a few rounds of edits and it also has the beginnings of a sequel. Again, I decided to take a break from it (mostly because I was feeling burnt out and stuck). This is the third book I've written that is set in the Triadic Kingdoms world (the same setting as Desert Flower and Heart of Xion). This one is set in the seaside kingdom of Cyracuse. This one will definitely be coming out some time later next year! Possibly the summer? 



If you like... 

  • Pirates 
  • Depression/mental health rep 
  • Quiet protagonist coming into her power 
  • Sirens 
  • Flirty love interests 
  • Found family 
  • Steampunk vibes 
  • Water magic 
  • High seas adventures 

Then you'll enjoy IWWP! 

Sterling Silver: 


I'm not actively working on this right now. Well, it's always kind of in the back of my mind, but there's no active writing/editing going on. I just really love this series and the world and all the characters and I'll take any excuse to share about it. This is another vampire story. The first one I ever wrote and one that I hope to get to share with everyone this year! I'm thinking this will be my Kindle Vella debut, so keep an eye out for updates! 




If you like... 

  • Vampires 
  • Vampire hunters
  • Shadowhunter/The Vampire Diaries vibes 
  • Spunky, impulsive and slightly selfish tough girl protagonists 
  • Flirty and fun romance 
  • Negative character arcs
  • Morally gray characters
  • Upper YA content 
  • Supernatural world within our world 

Then you'll enjoy Sterling Silver! 


And for now, that's all I have for you guys! I actually just started writing a new project (I know, it's a lot haha), but for now that's my secret project. 

Comments

  1. Oh my goodness, I have been trying to get through this post for a little over a month now and actually just sat down to finish it off and comment. Am I horrible? Quite possibly. BUT, I enjoyed getting to know about your beautiful books a little bit more! Happy writing, girl! <3

    Blessings,

Cover Reveal: Golden Touch!!

 Happy Tuesday!!  Today's the day! I turn 23 and I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than to share the cover for Golden Touch! I think this is by far my favorite cover my mom has ever done. It's crazy to think that this time last year Golden Touch was still just a first draft and I was in the middle of writing book 2 of the series. A defining part of my twenty-second year will always be having revised Golden Touch and written almost the entire Archive Series. And now I get to open up my twenty-third year with sharing the cover and writing book the first draft of book 5, the very last book in the series. God is so good guys. I really think He gave me Golden Touch and this whole series a few months before the events of 2020 started. He gave me a story I could get lost in, I could find joy in even during some of the hardest times of the year. And now I get to share the cover and I get to close out the series and I just pray and hope that God will use Golden Touch and...

How to Write A Survivalist Character During The Apocalypse

Hello friends! It's been a while... The last two weeks have been kind of nuts. The entire world is freaking out, everything's been turned upside down. Last week was rough... I had wanted to write out a birthday blog post and do something special on here for turning 22, but then everything happened and I was too stressed and I forgot to write anything, so that's kind of a bummer. I guess I could do it this week, but I feel like something else is needed for this week. I was thinking I should write some meaningful, hope-filled blog post. Write about what's going on in the world... but then I realized, everyone is already doing that. Social media is saturated with hope-filled positivity. And don't get me wrong, that's great! It's needed right now. To be honest though, Sunday night and into Monday I was getting pretty fed up with all the positivity. I think I was just overwhelmed and stressed, but I got pretty bitter and told my mom I was sick of hearing all th...

Five Tips for Getting in the Writing Mood

Happy June everyone!! I am both excited and a little anxious for this month... Excited because the twenty one pilots concert is at the end of the month and because my college class starts at the end of the month too (while also being a little anxious about it as well haha). Honestly, I don't know why I'm feeling a little off about this month... Maybe just cuz it feels like there's going to be a lot going on... I have an over the phone adviser meeting tomorrow and am helping at my church's VBS from 8 to 3 Monday through Friday next week. It'll be good but it's still a little daunting to think about :o But anyways! There's been this weird trend going on right now in my life. Just in the past week I've watched several live videos and authortube videos and read blog posts (most all of them about pantsers or having to do with pantsers in some way) and they all have included, well, pantser stuff but also how to stay in a writing mood. No one has mentioned h...
