A mockup of The First Sin by Cheyenne Brammah. The First Sin In the sweeping expanse of the Årdrakin Empire, the people fight and die for honor as elite warriors of the galaxy. But long ago, a prophecy was spoken that presaged the apocalypse. Everyone knows and fears the truth: one day, the empire will fall. Tårik is a guard for small, independent Clan Tsinna. Instead of pondering the end of his civilization, Tårik’s greatest concern is maintaining his honor while escorting a group of impertinent dignitaries across the treacherous Barren Gale. When the Mother Goddess speaks a passage from the prophecy to him, he has the good sense to be frightened, but he doesn’t heed the significance of Her visit. Then disaster strikes, and Tårik is branded as an exile, leaving him with no home, no honor, and no future. Forced into a desperate struggle for survival, all Tårik can focus on is living just one more day until luck—or maybe fate—gives him the opportunity to join a new clan. But even this is fraught with danger and uncertainty, and it takes him to an inhospitable world far from the empire where survival seems all but impossible. Faced with new challenges, including trying to navigate first contact with the low-tech locals, Tårik believes the prophecy can’t reach him. Yet it continues to loom, signaling that his fate and the fate of the empire are irrevocably entwined.

TOOLS FOR WORLDBUILDING

My favorite tool for worldbuilding has to be the Lore Master's Deck. The Deck of Worlds and The Story Engine Deck are also very helpful.

I'M GOING HOME TODAY! Now, you have two things to help us celebrate by buying a T4T romantasy with lots of cozy vibes. You'll set sail, you'll laugh, you'll want to join this crew forever...you might read one-handed for a bit? Whatever floats your boat!

And remember to review when you're done!

My husband's birthday is this weekend. Help us celebrate by getting to know the character he inspired!

Much like my husband, Max is a trans man and a total cinnamon roll. His name is even Hubs' middle name!

Say Happy Birthday with a copy and a review! Paperbacks, ebooks, free to download on Itch.

Gentle reminder that Bluesky's culture is unlike other platforms. For most people, it's not enough to post regularly. If you want interaction, you must interact. Not just with comments to your own posts, but on others' posts as well--not in a transactional sense, but in a relational sense.

Most authors wouldn’t tell you this, but the first and most important stage of writing a book is spending at least 2 hours fiddling around finding the perfect font for your chapter headers

$330.20 and the invoices have repeat shipments on them, meaning they are double dipping.

The shipping vendor saga continues. They’ve sent me a fourth invoice for $49, which officially puts me over $300 lost. The credit card company is still investigating the first two disputes I put in, and I have to submit #3 still. I’m at a loss for words. This invoice seems to double dip, too.

For those who know about period dress: would an underdress go over or under petticoats? (I believe it's under as I thought it's the piece closest to the skin, but the manuscript I'm editing has the petticoats underneath.)

WHY DID A WAR START?

The First Sin is all about the events leading to the skarastaja wanting to go to war with the årdrakin. The ultimate reason is juicy! You'll just have to read the book to find out.

All manner of weapons are used in warfare, depending on the species. The årdrakin favor warmounts, blades, energy guns, and starships.

I've spent the entire day working (as a full-time author) and done 0 writing today. Taxes, emails to editors, following up on blurbs, scheduling, invoices, prepping social media stuff. So much administrative stuff goes into getting books into people's hands.

Good morning from a very snowy New Hampshire.

Today marks another week of getting up and moving forward as though things are normal when we know they're not. Remember to take care of yourself. If you need a break, take a break.

My published debut is incredibly queer and full of joy.

My in-progress series is anti-military, anti-border, community-centric, queer as hell.

I can't do much on my own, but I can make even angrier queer books. And I hope you will, too.

FFVII Rebirth is a joy to play. It's everything I wanted from part 2 so far, and I've barely scratched the surface. I'll be playing it for months on stream.

One of my favorite touches is non-active party members assist in battle. No actual damage, but there's animations to show them fighting.
