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.
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
