Hi! I'm izzy~ I usually write dark & urban fantasy, but right now I'm prepping a sweet romantasy for Kickstarter in February! It's in prelaunch now, and I try to keep up to date on progress www.kickstarter.com/projects/izz... #FantasyIndiesAugust #writing #WritingCommunity #romantasy #skypirates

A betrothed princess flees and a sky pirate captain is hired to bring her home.
Princess Tessa is engaged to her father’s advisor, Lord Xensor. Magic is taboo, and still Lord Xensor practices in secret. To protect her family and kingdom from his evil rule, Tessa runs away from home.
The royal family hires James, a sky pirate captain, to bring her back. Meanwhile, Lord Xensor sends Craven, his right-hand man, after her. James wants nothing to do with the politics and only dreams of wealth and adventure. Craven is a loyal dog who will do anything he’s told.
Tessa doesn’t know what Lord Xensor has planned for her, but she knows it can’t be good. She’ll do anything to keep him from the throne, even if it means they all have to face some hard truths in the process.

My AC has died, and temps *inside* are hitting 90F/32C during the day. Any help toward an emergency replacement of the unit would be appreciated. Me and my critters (3 dogs and 6 cats) will love you forever.

Love,

Currently working on a draft of a new scene for To the Sky's chapter 14. The smallest of a sneak peek here #booksky #WritingCommunity #romantasy #skypirates

brown background with text at the bottom which reads: Chapter 14 New Scene Draft.

The text in the middle is cut off on the right, but reads:
Jonathan hadn’t covered the cargo holds during Tessa’s tour of Coincidence...ship, and the rooms were dimly lit. Wooden crates, barrels, and shelves held...were labeled and sorted so thoroughly even she could have found anything...Jonathan carried an illuminated lantern while Tessa held onto the clipboard...swirled with thoughts of how to get away from Jonathan and into Spiford...“What's on your mind?” Jonathan asked as he traded the lantern with the clip...scribbled something down, then glanced back at Tessa...She sighed. Her face must have given her away. “Nothing,” she lied. “I’ve just...Jonathan made a sympathetic face. “That’s not good. Maybe you should go see...“Go see Ruth for what?” A woman with fiery red curls came down the stairs...meet you. I’m Ruth, Coincidence’s Sister of the Moon.”...Tessa gave Ruth a gentle handshake with her free hand. “It’s nice to meet you...“Sure thing, Tessa.”

James's description in his first chapter of To the Sky. Want more? Check out the #Kickstarter over here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/izz... #booksky #WritingCommunity #romantasy #skypirates

White background with a black border. A pirate in the bottom right corner.

Text on the white background which reads: James—or Jim, as his friends called him—stood at average height with a slightly muscular, tanned build from years of hard labor and adventure. He wore a black vest and matching trousers with gold trimming that cost a bit extra, but really shimmered in the right light. A white, puffy-sleeved shirt stuck out from under the vest.

On top of his head was a black tricorn decorated with a rose at the center, and a large, white feather poking out. James told people it was a roc feather, but, in reality, he'd bought it at an open-air market from an elephant bird farmer. His blond hair was combed under his hat, though tousled from traveling The Twelve Skies.

aww i'm sorry lol i like rereading my work, but i am at the point where i'd like to move onto other projects

Did you know To the Sky started out as a literary RP? Here's the first post from James's PoV! Want to see how the book has changed? Check out the Kickstarter link: www.kickstarter.com/projects/izz... #booksky #WritingCommunity #romantasy #skypirates

red background with white text which reads:

"What a crafty man he was. Who else would have thought to send one of their own men in as a spy? Undercover agents were definitely the in thing. James could not help patting himself on the back, and he would be more than sure to gloat in his opponent’s face when he had the opportunity. Poor guy. While Jim knew his enemy was a clever man, he could never hope to compete with him. It was unfortunate, really, that he would be forced to go up against someone as brilliant as Captain Jim. Perhaps the next time he would think before picking the wrong side."

red background with white text which reads: The only trouble with being sneaky was James had to remain quiet until the very last moment. Oh, how he loathed not being able to be flashy and loud with his entrances. They were sort of his trademark. But every dog had to learn new tricks lest he become obsolete. And with any luck, his amount of sneaky craftiness would scare his opponent more than being loud and flashy. Even more luck would permit him another opportunity later in the future to be flamboyant and eccentric. For now, though, he found himself creeping along the trail left behind by Daniel, his First Mate and most fantastically loyal man that ever did live."

red background with white text which reads: "He wondered as he traveled along whether or not Sauron’s guard had noticed the tiny red clothes tied to inconspicuous things such as low-hanging branches, flowers, or even small rocks. James certainly did, and they were ever so helpful. Pulling his sidearm from where it rested at his hip, he entered the small clearing from whence he heard voices. There stood two figures, while another two were huddled near a tree. One of them he recognized as his man, the other as his target. What was wrong with her, though? The businessman in him worried his pay might suffer should she be returned in less than perfect condition."

red background with white text which reads:

"“Oh, Daniel, I do love you,” he announced as he came into sight.

The kneeling man rose to reply, "And I you, Captain," before drawing his own gun."

A pink background with black boxes of text. The pink box reads: "To the Sky, Chapter 11, The Ropes, Tessa's PoV"

The top black box reads: "this sounds delish, like sure a bit odd bc of the purple but the sauce sounds like an excellent pairing"

the middle black box reads: "these details are making me squirm, bro go wash your hands"

the bottom black box reads: "haha sneaky princess. im invested in what she'll come up next and how will she fuck it up lol, feels like she's not thinking things through atm, but the dedication and relentlessness is impressive XD"

this is such a good perspective that i rarely think about. i'm neurodivergent and have aphantasia, so descriptions come last and i have to remind myself that progress is progress no matter how small
