Adyllians worship Her as The Lady, an all-powerful and all-loving deity. The Narim call her by an older name, Aaysha. For them she is also a goddess who cries for justice and empowers those who seek it.

Today's #WIPSnips is revenge.

Queen Mila XI of Adyll, descendant of the Goddess known as the Lady, will do whatever it takes to protect her child and her people. Even if it means sacrificing herself to the Locust King.

My #WIP, the Locust King is in its final arc on #WorldAnvil. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingPrompts

Well, damnit. I just introduced a new character I didn't plan for. Ayn, I don't know how long you will be here, but welcome to the party. I hope you have better luck with the Holy Mother than the last girl did.

Apparently, I don't use the word apparent often. So, for this #WIPSnips, I am going with some vibes and using an obvious replacement.

The Locust King is in its final arc on #WorldAnvil. I'm hoping to finish 1st draft by the end of May.

Adyllians believe their land was raised from the ocean floor by their Goddess to provide shelter for her children. Surrounded by both ocean and desert, their land never needed defense from outsiders until the Swarm came.

I realized today I've spent 40 years of my life working, and there is probably no end in sight especially since my meager retirement savings are tied up in a 401k tied to the stock market. I'm tired. Really really tired.

Under the Locust King, all noble born youth are conscripted into service. Boys like Takri are sent to military training camps, and girls like Yelena become wine maidens, serving and entertaining the men in the court.

In my 1st novel, Blackbird Raven Crow, I don't touch on romance. The protagonist Ray is aroace, having no desire for romance or sex. This does not mean he does not love. He loves deeply, enough to fight heaven and hell for the soul of his best friend.

April #Writewich 28!

Long stories probably travel through a wide range of emotions, but is there one you don't visit? Or maybe you have a short work so it's a more focused emotional experience in general? #Writers #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

I'm back after an insane April. How are you all?

Today's #WIPSnips is talk. Talk builds countries and tears down tyrants.

The Locust King is on its final arc on #WorldAnvil. I will start editing this summer if every month doesn't turn into an April.

Some days, I rant how much I hate people. And I inevitably start listing off exceptions to people I hate, which are many.

Today, I realized I actually just hate the concept of people. Especially those driving like assholes this afternoon in Kansas City.

I struggle with naming characters. For me, names need to fit the character in both sound and meaning, as well as being internally logical in origin with other characters. I spend more time in naming characters while the rest comes fully formed almost instantly.

Legends tell of those who are evil beyond measure, consumed from within by their own desires. Some call them sorcerers, others call them the undead.

The Locust King is in its final arc on #WorldAnvil as a #SerialNovel

Well, Word's (AI) editor wants me to change "looked into" to "investigated" for conciseness. But, "She looked into the face of her Goddess" really doesn't work as "She investigated the face of her Goddess."

Just my opinion, though.

Abyss of Dreams: Wellspring Dragons Book 4 is coming this Autumn!

Shiobe once called Kitta friend, and she refuses to return to their easy relationship. Kitta grapples with her life crumbling, and her last chance to save what she's built lies within the Ice Dragon's lair.

My editor/BFF is on the mend. I knew she would be fine when she woke up and saw me and said, "We have to stop meeting like this."

This week's chapter of The Locust King on #WorldAnvil is delayed until probably tomorrow. I usually publish timely, but after a mad dash to the hospital to be with my closest friend during a near death scare I think I deserve a one day late chapter.

Broken Dulcet Ch 50 is Live at World Anvil Manuscripts!

Rescuing Faelan and those captured with him, then escaping the palace, was never going to be easy.

My first novel, Blackbird Raven Crow, was written for myself as a way to sort through my own experiences within a fundamentalist Christian cult I was introduced to by my mother at the age of 12. (A thread because too many thoughts part 1)

Grown from the fruit of the tree of knowledge when its seed took root on the banks of the Missouri River, Ray is tied to the land of the river valley. Of course, he would be a mud slide concrete from one of our many frozen custard stands in KC.

Another night in a different hospital with my best friend, hoping the doctors can fix whatever is happening with her heart.

Mr. Louis would be a nightmare of a roommate:
💩 smells like "an open can of ass"
🐶 dog breeder/fighter (Missouri Hell Hounds)
🕷 hides his true form/too many legs
😱 eats souls
😈 is a literal demon

(1) I'm sitting next to my soul sister and editor in an ICU right now. She is finally able to sleep after waking up with severe chest pain this morning due to a congentital heart condition. If you can spare a thought, incantation, spell, or prayer for her, please do.

My best inspirations come from traveling, whether that be a long solitary road trip or watching strangers hurry across a crowded airport.

It is my dream to one day write on a train while the countryside rolls past outside my window.
