Roe wants to drown. Vanish. Plans change as she lands on a boat of ageless outcasts. They’ll face their demons soon. Today? They run. When pasts sneak up, Roe & her captain risk it all for the crew. In the end, is the answer life or love?

Looking for opinions, please 😊 Do you begin looking for beta readers after a solid first draft? Or do you give your manuscript a few passes first? I'm the type to edit as I go, and I'm afraid that I might spend time editing something that may not be working, anyway.

Life has been too much lately, but drawing has helped. Enter a new character art style for Kayd of my WIP. Maybe one day, my head will be clear enough to write more of his story. 🩶

‼️👀 COVER SNEAK PEEK 👀‼️

This is all we can show you for now, but trust us—there's way more where this came from. Think magic, danger, romance, & a bit of sass. HUGE thank you to @annalisejensen.bsky.social for creating a cover that's as bold as our titular courtesan.

Pick a number between 1-335 and I will post the 12th sentence from that page.
