Grammar rules that catch me out:

I'm from the US but I've lived in the UK for a long time, so I have to constantly double check all the alternate spellings, AND whether things are hyphenated or not between American and British English 😅

Ooh well, the power-hungry character in A TEMPEST OF RAVENS is actually Maeve the MC 😆

She's a woman living in 1651 Scotland, and she's a witch trying to harness her chaotic magic—she definitely wants more power and to learn how to use it for good!

Marketing is always tricky, but I recommend really honing your hook/comps to find your ideal readers, then picking 1 or 2 socmed platforms & posting as consistently as you can.

You'll catch new folks with each post too, so don't worry about being repetitive!

Day 12 of #FantasyIndiesSeptember

The perfect autumnal books for me are the Freya Grove trilogy by @celestinemartin.bsky.social

✨ Witchful Thinking
🔮 Kiss and Spell
☕ Deja Brew

They are the perfect cozy, magical fall romances. Seriously they're squeal-and-kick-your-feet good!

Day 10 of #FantasyIndiesSeptember

The MC of A TEMPEST OF RAVENS absolutely covets knowledge and power.

She's a disaster witch learning to control her chaotic magic, and she'll have to harness it in order to save everyone she loves...

Day 9 of #FantasyIndiesSeptember

The MC in A TEMPEST OF RAVENS already has a range of magical abilities, but I think I'd like to also have the ability to speak with animals.

Summoning a flock of ravens could be handy in a tight spot!

Day 8 of #FantasyIndiesSeptember

The MC of A TEMPEST OF RAVENS sadly didn't attend school (because of the time period/culture).

She was tutored in the classics by her brothers when she was little, but she preferred playing outside and climbing trees 😆

Day 6 for #FantasyIndiesSeptember

Hmm something that surprised me in my WIP...I'm going with my debut A TEMPEST OF RAVENS since my other WIP is still really early days 😅

I think what surprised me most was the duel scene 👀 The characters went for maximum angst and I wasn't ready for it

Day 4 of #FantasyIndiesSeptember

Hmm well, the characters in A TEMPEST OF RAVENS are literally fighting for their lives for most of the book, so there isn't much time for hobbies 😅

But one character is a bard, and he brings a lot of comfort with his singing and lute-playing!

Day 3 of #FantasyIndiesSeptember

In my debut, A TEMPEST OF RAVENS (coming Oct 24th), the main character is a witch tutored in magic by an ancient druidic character.

The sequel will feature a different approach to learning magic 👀✨

Day 2 of #FantasyIndiesSeptember

Hmm when it comes to choosing my next read, I'm very much a mood reader, but then I also try to alternate between trad and indie, fiction and non-fiction, new books and classics, basically so I'm not reading the same kind of stuff all the time! 😅
