"Rena refuses to mourn her sister. Maya has to have survived—somewhere in the grip of the Crow, a secretive order chasing the resurrection of a forgotten god. With her companions at her side, Rena sets out to find the truth, but the deeper they search, the more the world begins to unravel."

Black text around the cover reads: Low-Magic epic fantasy, steampunk, mystery, dual POV, rescue missions, reality warping, the dog is still the best boy and the fox is even more mysterious, old forgotten gods (now less forgotten), you've heard of mommy and daddy issues? get ready for sibling issues, queernormative world, the past coming to bit them in the ass, paternoster lift in a library!

We’re 18 days away from the release of A Blazing Bond, the second book in my epic fantasy The Heart Pyre series! I wanted to see the new cover next to the one for the first book & I’m so, so happy with both of them! #indiebooks #indieauthors
Two book covers in front of a blue background. The left book cover is for A Searing Faith, book 1 in the The Heart Pyre series. The right cover is for A Blazing Bond, book 2 in the series. They both show a young girl with flowing brown hair in a beige dress with a green vest in front of a blue background with stylized red to pink flames. The girl has a slightly different pose on both covers. Text above the covers reads “The Heart Pyre – Book 2” and text below reads “Release 16.04”

Would anyone be able to help me with this error on Draft2Digital? When I upload my manuscript it's telling me it doesn't pass the EPubCheck due to an ERROR(OPF-029). Has anyone dealt with this error before? I've tried looking it up but couldn't find anything specific #indiewriters #selfpublishing

Aber niemand, der für das Königreich Kal-Hemma verantwortlich ist, interessiert sich dafür, dass dies nicht die erste Stadt ist, die durch einen mysteriösen Brand zerstört wurde, und laut Renas neuen Weggefährten gibt es vieles, was die Mitglieder des Königlichen Rates ihren Untertanen verschweigen.
Wenn Rena wirklich die einzige Überlebende der Tragödie ist, warum hat sie dann den Ring ihrer Schwester vor ihrem zerstörten Haus gefunden?
Wer hat vor dem Brand die seltsamen Vogelfiguren rund um die Dorfkirche platziert?
Und was haben die vergessenen Götter mit all dem zu tun?”

Not to be a nerd about everything in life but there's this walking challenge app that sends you themed medals when you reach a goal and I'm so god damn obsessed with the quality and heft of my first lotr medal 😳
Photo of a metal medal from the company The Conqueror. It is The Lord of the Rings themed and shows a white letter on a brown background with smoke. The letter is closed with a red seal and text on it reads "Keep it secret, keep it safe". Everything is in 3D and shiny enamel.Another photo of the medal, this time the letter is open and reveals a golden ring that can be removed.

It's so incredibly beautiful here!! (Northern Croatia) We're camping so we're outside all day and being away from any highways and cities and only hearing the ocean is so, so relaxing 💕 (Also not actually an ocean but a sea but for someone from a landlocked country it's all just big water to me...)

Did some real professional writer things today. First time I read for more than 5 minutes in front of an audience. Definitely strange feeling to be reading for 40 minutes and kind of start zoning out in the middle of it 🫠

Super happy to announce I'm part of Astrophobia, a space horror anthology arriving later this year! My short story ICE deals with isolation, obsession and a frozen research station 👀❄️ really happy with how this one turned out. Tried something a bit strange with it.

I always liked those videos where people had wrapped their unread books in paper and then chose one at random as their next read, I just also think it's an extreme waste of paper, so I just put all the titles of my tbr pile on little papers & will pick one at random after I finish a book
