What happens when you finally write the story you’ve wanted to read but couldn't find? You get a dark fantasy set in a world inspired by Imperial China that brushes the edges of grimdark yet holds onto hope. A story where characters wrestle with grief, self-worth, and the weight of their past, but find family and love in unexpected places. And the forbidden magic no one may speak of? It's brutal and deadly, but can also protect, connect, and create. That's Phoenix Rises Dragon Soars.

I've chosen 'image' instead of 'picture', and this is from my favourite storyline in Book 2.

His eyes flew open, though he saw nothing but the image of Huizhong seared into his mind. He had been so full of resentment that day. Resentment for her taking from him the only choice he could still make after the Empress had taken everything else. But in this moment, was death still his only choice as it had been then? Or could he choose life today and forge a purpose of his own to give his life value?

It's the last day of my Birthday Week-ish and my SALE ends to day so make sure you grab your copy of Phoenix Rises Dragon Soars, the novel I wrote by the seat of my pants. Luckily anything that didn't work has been fixed in revisions. It's not a mess. I promise!

A common enough word, but I had to skip through 10 or so of them to find a spoiler-free-ish paragraph in Book 2.

Oh, how she would love to walk these streets, talk to these people and hear their stories. Perhaps her mother’s family would allow her to see the city. Her father had never mentioned her mother’s background, but the way he had described her mother—educated, caring about everyone, and a little rebellious—she must have come from a very liberal family.

It's day 8 of my Birthday Week-ish and this is a weird one. I don't know if it's some kind of aphantasia but it means you won't find drawn out facial descriptions in my books. So far, it hasn't caused any issues but if you ever read Phoenix Rises Dragon Soars, you tell me.

I have to say, it's getting really difficult to avoid spoilers recently. All the other 'movements' gave way too much away. Luckily I found this one.

He shook his head, the movement sluggish as if he had no strength left. “Do not worry, I—” He froze, cocking his head towards the door as if listening for something. Then Huizhong heard it, too: the rustle of silk robes.

Day 7 and this fact reflects the reality of writing for many of us. Sure, some writers finish a whole novel in a month but that's not always the case. If you're a writer, have you struggled with writer's block? What got you out of it?

Day 6 of my Birthday Week-ish, and yes, I probably could've removed some scenes to make Phoenix Rises Dragon Soars less dark or left out romance or made it proper #grimdark to better fit into a box, but that felt wrong. It's a genre smoothie but it's what I wanted to read so I wrote it.

Yes, got this one too. It appears in the opening scene of Book 2 of the Four Guardians, where we get to know the more or less mysterious antagonist of my trilogy a little better than Phoenix Rises Dragon Soars allowed.
#amediting #writingcommunity #writesky #writingprompts #fantasywriters #WIPSnips
Empress Guangling strolled through the Imperial Gardens, hands hidden inside warm gloves and attendants trailing behind her at a respectful distance. A thick blanket of brilliantly white snow covered the trees, shrubs, and pavilions, and the lake at the centre of the seemingly endless grounds had a thin layer of ice on it. If the weather held, she could soon walk on it, just like she had—giggling, slipping, and sliding—with Qianglei the year of their wedding. He had held out his hand to steady her and, had they been unwatched, she would have fallen into his arms and kissed him right then and there.

Happy birthday to me! Hope all of you are having a wonderful day. My birthday wish is for people to read and love my book. That's why it's on KU. I don't need it to make me rich, I just want to make people feel something (hopefully not disgust 🤣)

One more day until it's my birthday and we continue with my music taste. I'll also admit that it was Linkin Park's first album Hybrid Theory that opened up my ears to metal. Any other metal heads amongst you? What was the band that got you into it and which type? #indieauthor # fantasy #booksky #sff

Yes, I have 'steel'! The moment I saw it, I knew which scene to take it from. Recently added to Book 2 of the Four Guardians, this has to be one of my favourite scenes ever. Very short to keep it spoiler-free.

All it took were his hands around her throat. He did not need Wuxing, nor weapons of iron or steel. Honour be damned. Due process be damned. She had murdered and tortured. She deserved to die.

It's day 3 of Charlotte's Birthday Week-ish, and yes, I admit, I didn't always read Fantasy. Luckily I found the genre and haven't felt the need to read much else since. What was the book the got you into the favourite genre you read or write?

Finally, I have something to contribute again. Feels like it's been ages. And who doesn't have 'nice' in their WIPs? Finding one wasn't an issue, but finding one that doesn't spoil the hell out of Book 2...well, there's only this one.

It was quieter here; the road was wider, and soon trees lined the streets. This was a much nicer neighbourhood than the one he’d spent the first nine years of his life in. With the way he looked right now—his bearded face battered and bruised—he must stand out like a sore thumb. Not at all what he wanted when he’d planned to disappear among the crowds of Huangcheng.

Day 2 of my Birthday Week-ish with another fun fact about me. My deck's commander is Edgar Markov and my friends find it hilarious I rarely play him. Usually, I allow him to sit on this throne, letting his minions do the work. If you play commander, who's your favourite? #indieauthor #fantasy #sff
Hi, I’m Charlotte, a (very) casual Magic the gathering player. My favourite commander deck is one entirely constructed around Vampires. If they don't win, at least they'll make you miserable.

Reborn in Ash has just about been out for a week now! Hardbacks are starting to appear on websites. 😍

Would UK folks be interested in signed copies? I'm looking into getting some bookmarks to go with them. International would have to be signed bookplates only.

A book marketing graphic. Over a bloodred background is white text and a book cover with arrows coming off it to point to some phrases. Text at the top: Magic abandoned humanity millennia ago. Now it returns, bringing ruin to a wanted thief, and her chance for redemption. Book cover is for Reborn in Ash by Gabrielle Steele, which features an illustration of two women wielding magic as they overlook a huge chasm in a hilly landscape with mountains in the background. The text pointed to by arrows shows what to expect inside the book: thief antics, found family, elemental magic, sapphic romance, violence, LGBTQ+ characters, damn empire be empiring, bittersweet.

I may call my books "inspired by" Imperial China but I love to incorporate little bits of the real world culture, philosophy or history into my world building where possible. I'll still bend the rules where needed, though it has to be internally consistent, but I do so love my research!
