  1. I received such a wonderful compliment today!

    I ran into a coworker who got my book last year. She told me she’s not usually into fantasy—she finds it too hard to get into and gets a bit overwhelmed—but she got it to support me and give it try.

    She said that she enjoyed how accessible my book was and how “real” it felt—how it was relatable but through a fantastical lens.

    She’s excited for the sequel ☺️

    What a lovely shot in the arm!

  6. #ScribesAndMakers Aug 25: Do you have any self-imposed rules for your creative work?

    I don’t think I have any general rules across pursuits, but I will set certain rules/constraints for a given project.

    For example, for Crown of Horns I decided I wanted to play with multiple POVs and so I set a strict constraint that I would always follow an A-B-C order of who was narrating.

    It stretched my creativity and made for some unique moments.

  11. Cropped section of @AudraBalionArt ‘s painting for my cover.

    One of the coolest parts… it uses some of Stuart Semple’s blackest black and whitest white—because you need that high-contrast drama!

    Getting closer and closer to Horns of Shadow and Gold 💛 🖤

  16. #WritersCoffeeClub 12. What's the last museum you went to? Did it inspire you?

    We went to a bunch of museums on our trip to Vancouver and Victoria last year. I’m not sure the last we visited, but the standout was the Beatty Biodiversity Museum!

    As someone who writes books with horned characters… well, let me show you!

    I’ll also note, I was very excited about the kudu. Its horns inspired Siranna’s from my book!

  21. Got timeline estimates from the printer. Audra just finished up the last required illustration.

    Gotta decide if I really wanna go ahead with this preface.

    Cover. Back matter. And then into marketing mode.

  26. Got a quote from the printers for my next book!

    Things are becoming more real and you’d think that after doing this once before it would feel normal-ish, but no… absolutely terrified.

    It’s an exciting time. More details soon for the sequel to Crown of Horns!

  36. #WordWeavers 8/1: Which character would make the best tour guide and where would they take us?

    If we wanted to see the breadth of Vsevora, probably Velodik. As a Senator, he’s been almost everywhere and as a corrupt Senator he knows the best places to party and get the good stuff.

    If you wanted a tour closer to home, Kostyk could take you to the wilds of Ksenya. There are some lovely views on the mountain and they could take you to their favourite spots.

  41. #writersCoffeeClub 30. End of the month roundup: How well did this month go for you?

    Amazing! Holy moley!

    I got through my round of line edits—ahead of schedule! (And it was already an aggressive schedule.)

    Now to format and then… done? 😱

    It all feels a little surreal. I’m even too nervous to officially drop the name yet… Sequel to Crown of Horns: coming soon. 🥰

  60. #WordWeavers Least likely love song pt 2

    Thinking of some of the new characters that appear in my WIP things get more definitive…

    Young woman on her honeymoon—absolutely.

    Highly emotional 17-year-old—he’d do anything for love.

    Stoic hunter living in the wilds—only if writing it to the mountain.

    Old crone who purged the concept of love from her very being…. I don’t think she’s physically capable of writing a love song.

    I think I figured it out. 😜
