And with that, all five books are out! If you’re interested in getting into the Dreams and Secrets Series, check out the linktree in my bio!
Five books on a wooden floor. Only two titles are visible, and they are the first and fifth book of the series. The first book is on the floor and is titled: Dreams and Secrets Book 1-Lotus in the Mountain. The fifth book is stacked on top of three books that are fanned out. You can’t see the other three book titles. The fifth book is titled: Dreams and Secrets Book 5-The Risen Queen. The books are by Linn Coldiron and are black with colored flowers. Book one has white flowers and book 5 has purple and gold flowers. The titles are shimmering silver in a script style font. Five books stacked horizontally. They are part of a series with the first book on the bottom and the fifth book on the top. The covers are back with splashes of color. The spines are showing and the tiles are from bottom up: Lotus in the Mountain, An Imminent Dream, The Children of Death, A Hollow Secret, and The Risen Queen. All the books are by Linn Coldiron. They are on a wooden surface with a cream wall behind them.

Introducing Blair Arbour! I love Blair. Some people hate her, but I love her. She’s a mischievous one who likes to walk her own path, even though her grandmother has plans for her. As a mage, she’s good at keeping secrets. But there’s one in particular she’s hoping no one finds out about.

Here’s Derek! Mia’s twin brother. He loves languages and has a love hate relationship with sleep. A pretty typical teenage boy, he has no secrets from his sister. Oh, except that he’s actually a secret mage who can feel other people’s emotions. But don’t tell anyone 🤫

My CP called me out on hating writing action scenes today. I’d get mad, but she’s not wrong.

If you hate writing something, or think you’re terrible at it, read more things with that element and practice. Write write write. Just keep writing and then revise based on feedback. You will get better.
Angsty Jewish late twenty something with chin in her hand. She wears glasses and has dark brown hair and eyes. She looks unamused. Hair is medium length. It’s a selfie.
