Aris will tell you she's not a gamer. This is technically a lie. She accidentally bricked her twelve-generation Sims save, met her boyfriend because he helped fix it, and somehow ended up trapped in a VRMMO with him. 😅 Here's her character dive! tinyurl.com/5a3nru4p #BookSky #LitRPG #IndieAuthor

Trying to write books for everyone seems to me a surefire way of writing bad books. I’m not interested in writing books for twats. I write books for the cool and nice people whose company I know I’d enjoy if I met them in real life. I’m entirely comfortable with twats hating my books. Bring it on.

I snippet from the Novella The Book of Delight by Alexis Nightengale / Asteria Spirit: 

 So, if they weren't listening to me now, then there was no point in petitioning for Jonas. 

And if there was no point in petitioning for Jonas, then there was no point in greeting the day with Sacred Surrender.

But… how then did I want to greet the day? How did I untie this heavy pressure that sat low in my stomach, aching and buzzing and yearning for a release?

I had taken Jonas's Wish into my body as a priestess of the Nameless Delight. 

But if I wasn't a priestess of the Nameless Delight… 

Who the fuck was I?
