The Cursed of Atharia is now available on Amazon. Perfect for fans of fantasy, adventure, action, with a splash of drama and romance.

(I don’t know why the link is saying Katy Perry. But it leads to the book)

As I tumble through this simulation
The game we call Life
I seek to transcend this earthly coil
To ponder the inner workings
Of the universe
Where stars collide
Where instance contracts
To find enlightenment
And escape finality’s grip

Deep in the Den
Wrapped in tender embrace
Souls seek surrender
As two become one
The gods only know
How we came to be
Entangled within the web
Of the universe’s design
Come with me
And believe
We can be more than
What our minds conceive

I’m proud of this cover. It’s simple and elegant. And it adds a fiery flare to my phone’s Lock Screen. I can’t wait to hold it in my hands, to have it on my shelf.

Six days, Jack. Six days.

I’m sorry I haven’t been active. Been in a really bad mental state lately and needed a break from social media. But I have a book coming out this week, and I really need to promote it more. Six days left.

What’s everyone reading this weekend? I’m working my way through two books. Hidden Voices by Dan Willis and A Door in the Middle of Nowhere by Karen Lundy.

In exactly one month The Cursed of Atharia becomes a real book. I’m beyond excited…and more than a little stressed. When this book releases I’m taking a three month writing break.

It gives me immense pleasure to finally reveal the cover for Atharian Chronicles 1: The Cursed of Atharia.

Many tears went into making this book a reality, and I couldn’t be happier that Jack and the gang found a home with @shadowsparkpub.bsky.social.

Sorry I haven’t been active. It’s been a crazy couple of months. But next week The Cursed of Atharia goes on pre-order. It’s my own fault for feeling unprepared, but hopefully I’ll know better for next time.

Favourite all-time book character? That’s a tough one.

Someone else’s: Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Inspector Nick Myra (belonging to Helen C. Escott)

Of mine: Jack the Ripper

The Cursed of Atharia has been sent in for the final time.

This is it. In a month or so, Jack Beckett and the gang will make their debut. They’ve come a long way. I’m so proud of them. 🥹

The Cursed of Atharia goes in for the final time tomorrow. After that, it becomes a real book. Hard to believe it’s that time already. 2025 seemed so far away in 2023, and now it’s here. Crazy!!

A picture of a man and woman. The man is back on to the woman and she is resting her head against his back. A snippet reads: You've become my everything, entwining yourself in my thoughts and dreams. Everything I am, everything I'm going to become, it's because of you." He pulled Snow into his arms and kissed the top of her head. "I don't care what you think you are. You are Snow Winterglade, Crown Princess of Atharia, and this phoenix's spark."

49 days until the Cursed are unleashed from @shadowsparkpub.bsky.social. It’s a fun little book that (hopefully) doesn’t take itself too seriously…not if Justin has anything to say about it.

#BookSky #WriteSky #debut #2025debut #indieauthor #writerslife
Justin shot out of the trees, a dark stain in his pants, and something attached to his shoulder. Sara screamed and dashed behind Jack, pressing herself against his back. "KILL IT! KILL IT! KILL IT!" Justin howled, arms waving in the air. "What is it?" Brandon hollered. The brightly coloured object clutched Justin's jacket for dear life as he ran in circles. "Professor, do something!" Jack yelled. Fox sighed, his ears falling flat. "Children," he said, shaking his head.

51 days…and already I’m losing sleep. I keep finding errors in the manuscript, mostly the way things are worded. Will this get easier?

There’s a severe power-hungry character in my WIP, but since it’s part of the Atharian Chronicles, it’s a bit of a spoiler.

Looking for a supernatural read for this spooky season? Consider picking up a copy of A Door In The Middle of Nowhere by Karen Lundy.

It’s such a fantastic read. You won’t be disappointed!!! @bookspotlight.bsky.social, I think this could be up your alley.

It’s hard to tell with Jack. He covets both. He wants power, but also the knowledge behind that power. He’s a reborn phoenix, and a lot of Soul Firewing’s past has been rewritten by a dark force. Jack wants to know the truth behind his magical gifts.

Catch-up day 3:

Though it’s not mentioned outright, there is an academy in the capital, kinda like a university.

Day 4:

Jack, Brandon, and Sara all love to read. Justin’s hobby is getting on his friends’ nerves, especially Brandon’s.

Line from page 16 of The Cursed of Atharia:

He knelt and moved Sterling’s tunic away from his chest. Raven moved to get a better look. The mark of a Cursed had been etched into the prince’s chest. From his history lessons, Raven knew the mark was that of the Bloodied Prince.

It's Hump Day, folks, and our friend demands a sacrifice. Let's get a page from your wip. Maybe it's the middle for you? Give us a line from PAGE 516

Haven't gotten to page 516 yet? How about just 16, then?

Typically, I’m not one for this trope. However, I have been partially swayed by @valeriestorm.bsky.social’s Ari and Kari. Those two—I don’t know—touch a deeper part of my soul I thought I had locked away.

Happy #tuesday! Today's #writingq and #trope for discussion is: Grumpy x Sunshine characters!

Do you enjoy this type of character dynamic? Have you written it? When was it done well vs bad?
