Just in case people want something to read over the weekend, my first book The Assassins Raven is available on Amazon.
📚 💙
A female assassin joins a quest she does not want, and gets more than she bargains for.
A mix of cozy fantasy, horror, adventure, comedy, and romance.

Raven is definitely a Raven, small, smart. She had one as a pet as a child and it became her name.
(Raven is not her real name, she hates her real name).
Photo is my profile picture I use for everything. A Raven on top of a tree in Paris.

Prepare yourself for a chilling, thought-provoking journey. This is a tale that will make you question the limits of science, spirituality, and human resilience. Most of all, it will make you wonder: if you had the power to bring back those you've lost, would you dare?

I named my FMC Raven because my character when I was younger had a Raven, and I thought nobody would be able to pronounce my name.
My MMC Trig came from going as far from an Elf name as I could, I also like the Doctor Who episode Power of 3.

Hmmm....
One interesting fact about me is because of my job/hobbies I did when I was younger, Raven's fights and her fighting style in The Assassins Raven comes directly from what I've done.
(Does it make you want to read it yet? 😂)

Corporate-style icebreaker jump scare 😱: tell us a fun fact about you, the author!
This is meant to be fun, so if "fun facts" make you cringe, feel free to adjust this prompt. You could do two truths and a lie, or just give us a non-personal fun fact that brings you joy.

Raven and her brother Percy are very close. They annoy each other, argue, don't speak to each other for a while. But when Percy got too drunk at a dinner Raven took him to his bedroom to sleep it off, and when Ravens secret is about to be revealed Percy literally kills the messenger.

Every writer has words they like and use a lot. From editing my WIP The Kings Raven today I am noticing a lot of "A while later..."
I need to mix it up a bit I think.
