The Starsinger Chronicles smells like the ocean and sea breeze with a hint of fish
Guardian smells like mist and pine trees
Nightfall smells like leather and New York (which can be either a good thing or a bad thing)
Such an interesting question. Had to really think about it!

Take Persephone, Keeper of Fate (Seems badass, is cinnamon roll; Given mystery mission by the Fates and has no idea what she's doing)
+ Bishop, resident Spirit Hunter (Hates the Fates for dragging him into their shenanigans; Has secrets of his own)
Result? Guardian.

Pagan story and Greek myth dance together in Guardian, a tale of Spirits, Nephilim, & Fate.
The Keeper of Story is never supposed to defy the Fates. When presented with an impossible choice, Persephone finds herself doing just that – and suffering the consequences.

🟥 Is a tad naive about the ways of the world, and sometimes places her trust in the wrong beings

Queer Bluesky: how old were you when you came out & how old are you now?
Discovered the word asexual at 15/16. Thank you science teacher who had rainbow sticker with all the queer words on it. Cue me asking mom: what is asexual?

late 20's/ early 30's–>39
I wasn't into dating or sex in my 20's. My gender was masculine and feminine and not really either. I didn't find labels to 'come out with' -nonbinary, asexual & aromantic- till early 30's-ish.

I came out as bi at 15 to a few people. Publicly in my early 30s (it was still a crime in my state until my late 20s).
I came out as nonbinary before age 36, I think, and as a nbi trans man early 40s.

My favourite side character in Guardian is Birch. Birch is a Spirit who went undercover to help the Fates judge Persephone's suitability to become Keeper.
Birch is a joy to write. A trickster at heart, she never takes no for an answer and is always stealing things to give to Persephone.

Finally finished the draft of the new Reflections Saga, two months shy of the 11th anniversary of the original.
Added nearly 7k words based on what others thought.
I have learned so much writing this woman's story over the years.
Jaye has come a long way. She's grown a lot.
And I have too.

Sometimes music is playing, sometimes not
There is usually a tea or hot chocolate involved

Forced to serve the Fates. Tasked to observe, remove stray threads in the world’s story.
Persephone never intended to fall in love. Never wanted to defy Fate.
When given a difficult choice, she follows her heart – and must survive the consequences.

When doing research, we often think reading articles or visiting places or zooming around StreetView.
With my WIP "The Reflections Saga", the most valuable help comes from a Newfoundlander friend.
You can learn so much from the people who live in the places you are writing.
