Hi #booksky, I'm Lauren & I write epic high fantasy influenced by 90's / 00's anime, RPGs, and a lot of other random inspirations along the way. My Carving Legacies series has 2 of the 5 installments published, and... Yeah. That's what I got. More on the way! #fantasybooks #indiebooks #fantasyreads
I have to give props to my artist, Taiwo Adeyefa, who did an amazing job bringing Sebastian and Niamh to life in my newest book release, An Oath to the Winter Winds! You can find more of her work here: ilywhynot.wixsite.com/whynot

Having difficulty finding a beta reader? Just not getting back the feedback you actually *need*? Tired of the (still wonderful, but somewhat unhelpful) "I loved it!"? Let my team help you get what you need to take your book to the next level.

a piece of writing advice people dont usually give u: if ur process needs spending half an hour procrastinating before u sit down to actually write, just build in the half an hour of procrastinating and dont sweat it. theres no point beating yourself up for it.

"Reylo and Dramione booms function like media franchises for book publishing, banking on and extending the reach of reliably lucrative IP. For publishing houses, it’s a clear win. These books can cash in on fannish enthusiasm through an always plausibly deniable connection to the fannish property."

Reminder that September is National library card month, so you should totally go get a library card! Yes, they have books, but many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and more! Maybe it's time for a visit!

I'm releasing a new book on 12/02/25. A supplemental standalone which is also my first #romantasy. When a demigod and a failed mage go on a journey to find a cure for their cursed friend, they end up discovering themselves and love along the way.

It's really cute when the accounts whose whole identity is religiosity attempt to follow me. I write books about killing gods... I don't think you belong on this playground.

Heads up!!! After February 25, you will no longer be able to download kindle books that you purchased. So make sure you take the time to download and save your library this weekend. And also, divest from Bezos and Amazon!!!

That awkward moment with yourself when you see a good post and you're like, "I should repost that!" Only to realize that you're reading your own feed and you actually did the reposting days ago.
