First review on Amazon by someone I don’t really know (though admittedly they heard about my book from my mom lol). This alone makes it all worth it 😭💙📚
Screenshot of an Amazon review that reads: “Great new author. I was recommended this book by my ACLS/PALS course teacher and ended up buying the book because she talked about it and it's so up my alley. Mm fantasy romance. I just read the entire thing in under 2 days and so good! I'm bummed that this is the author's first book because I love to binge read authors. Also super loved the art work! Makes bringing his world alive in my head so much easier. If this universe became a standalone series, I would purchase so fast. The fantasy world was unique and the author managed to build a romance while maintaining an intense plot line.”

More than halfway through the outline of my second novel, another queer fantasy romance. So excited to start another project with a whole new cast of characters, including the main PoV character Illùsir, a Fadeling (a magical race that can turn invisible and crawl on walls like Spider-Man lol) 💙📚
Art of Illùsir, the main character of my next novel. He has navy blue skin, slightly invisible hands and feet, blue/gray hair, as well as iridescent eyes and body markings. The image has a full body drawing and a close-up of his face.
