#FantasyIndiesNovember 20
(it's come to my attention that it isn't Friday yet, ahem. Wishful thinking...)

I find inspiration everywhere. Dreams, songs, books, people, random thoughts - every thing can be a source of inspiration.

Parts of writing that challenge me?

Depends. Sometimes, I need time to get into the flow.

But once I'm in the flow, all I need is time.

#FantasyIndiesNovember 18 Favourite characters I’ve created?

In this story? It's Cyn, the MC. He can be such an idiot sometimes 😂

Hobbies?

Besides reading and writing?
I used to travel a lot, but Covid put a stop to that and I haven't picked it up again. Aside from that, I run, hike, enjoy culture and science, friends and family.

Sometimes, I binge-watch, but not on a regular basis.

I'm a plantser!

For my historical novels, I need to plot more, need to know how I'll wave my story around the known facts.

For fantasy and dystopia, I can go wild and explore more while write. But at some point, I need to know where I'm heading, or it becomes a pain.

I can honestly write everywhere, as long as I can sit comfortably and put my laptop somewhere. Noise canceling earphones help me drown out voices.

But mostly, I write in my sunlit living room, which us the brightest, coziest room and has a fireplace, too 😁

Bad writing advice?

Always follow this [insert advice here]

Good writing advice?

Write, write, write and find out what works for you. You have your very own voice.

#FantasyIndiesNovember 11 What genres do you write and read?

Fantasy (low and high) as well as historical fiction are my favorites, both in reading and writing. I dabble a little in other areas. I almost always need/have a romantic subplot.
Never ever racial or LGTBQ+ slurring. Absolute no go.

Favorite line of this work:

"He stepped out into the night, pulled his trickery close, like a cloak, and ran."

Cyn doesn't know it yet, but this is a turning point in more than one aspect.

#NovemberWordbuilders 5 Something purple (Switching books now that the sale is over)

Purple is the colour of the dream dome Lys and Cyn discover by chance - having no idea where this will lead them.

#FantasyIndiesNovember 4 Inspiring authors

It's you. You, all the indies out there who love to write although we all know we might never be able to make a living of it. You, who love to tell stories, who need to get the words out, who break the barriers.

Power to you all ❤️🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜🤎

(Realized I still had the wrong hashtag 😩)

Something YELLOW/ORANGE - is the color of the chapter of incubi and succubae! And, by chance, also the colour of the gemma lustro...

Something blue ... is the gemma damno, the mystical gem Louan wants to find in order to break his brother from the bond (which Lior, btw, does NOT want 😆).

Still on sale today!

When did I start writing?

Little pieces by hand before, but it's truly started once I could lay my hands on a keyboard, age 12. First thing was a typewriter (the one you see as background on my qebsite), but shortly after followed a pc.

This month, I'll focus on #ChasingWildDreams, a dystopia that takes place in our future after some disastrous event. Dreams got loose and start haunting the streets. Gifted like Cyn, a trickster, are out to catch them.

Which works well until solver Lys enters the scene.
