  1. 📚✨
    Hi Mastodon! I’m Leia Faiga—a Jewish indie romance author with a passion for mythic storytelling, inclusive love, and emotionally raw characters who rewrite their destinies.

    🖋️ My current books:

    • Though Leaves May Fall: “Though leaves may fall, that one summer, I was and will always be your Joy.”
    • That One Summer: “Footprints vanish in the tide, but echoes hum where they collide.”

  2. I'll start off my book discussion with a look at one of my favorite authors: KJ Charles, who writes *smoking* awesome romances.

    I'm utterly in love with her Green Man World books: The Secret Casebook of Simon Feximal, which very much feels like a series of connected short stories, has some utterly fascinating stories, including one about butterflies killing people. It's probably not for everyone, as there's a lot of very rough intimacy, but the characters and concepts are so great that I love rereading it.

    The followup to The Casebook, Spectred Isle, throws a down on his luck archaeologist (Saul Lazenby) and headfirst into a world of magic and terror, a world where the physical War was the top layer of brutal arcane battles that almost destroyed the world.

    I deliberately didn't mention the romance aspect. Romance (and yes, sex) is integral to the story, not an add-on or a salacious hook. I had zero instances of "oh come on, just talk to each other already!". But the romance/sexy bits are strong *because of* how they interact with the plot, not the other way around.

    KJ Charles is a totally delightful author. I highly recommend anything she's written.

    Now! In the replies, I will point to the *entirely different* 2 book set I have on sale at The Scribbling Lion. So if you don't want to see the "consider buying these other two titles", don't read the reply to this post. :)
