You might’ve seen that the date on Book 2 has been pushed back a month. I know people are disappointed. I’ve seen some of the messages.
And please, don’t misunderstand. I’m so grateful that people are excited enough to be disappointed.
I just wish people understood that authors often have more going on in our lives than we’re even able to explain. We’re people, too.
I just want to release a book that’s as good as possible, and I’m doing my best. I’m sorry, and I appreciate you all more than you’ll ever know. 💙
The book will be out in March, hopefully, and since this is the first official delay, there’s no change to the preorder link or anything. It’s all still active.
Thank you all for your excitement. It means the world to me. 💙
I enjoy sharing snippets—if for no other reason than that it gets me out of my head for a moment and makes me stop listening to that endless loop of: “I’m terrible. Everything I do is terrible. Why am I even trying? Etc., etc.”
The only problem is when I need to choose a snippet, my anxiety kicks in with: “Don’t choose the wrong one! Oh, no, I’m going to choose the wrong one!”
My brain’s fun, don’t you think? 😅
But that’s one of the things I like about hashtag games. A few years ago, the writing community on Twitter had tons of them. There aren’t as many anymore, but one of my favorites is still going. 💙
Searching for a specific word in the document means it’s less of a choice, and my anxiety cooperates better with that arrangement. 😅
It does result in some pretty random snippets—but snippets, nonetheless!
The word for this week was “woman,” and when I searched and this scene popped up, I thought, “Well, maybe my Helen fans will enjoy this one.” 😂
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope you have a wonderful week! 💙
This week’s snippet fit the #lesficfri theme on Twitter, which was “wish.” 💙
I know this was a bit of a random one, but I hope you enjoyed it, anyway! 💙
I’m on a mission right now to hunt down all of the messages I missed when my physical and mental health were taking turns being awful. So, if the message can be found, I hopefully will find it and reply soon! 💙
I hope you have an awesome week, and for anyone already celebrating, happy holidays! 💙
Have you seen the cover for Goddess of the Sea yet? 💙
I shared it in the newsletter and on social media in August, but if you’re not following any of those, you might’ve missed it.
I’ve been taking care of sick kids lately and forgetting literally everything, but now that they’re feeling better (yay!), I’ll try to catch it all up.
So, if you missed it, you can see the (very blue-ish) cover below! 💙
Goddess of the Sea, sequel to Pirates of Aletharia, will be here this December. 💙
🏴☠️ lesbian pirates (obviously) 🏳️🌈 healing from trauma 🏴☠️ dragon-riding 🏳️🌈 ship cats getting much-deserved treats 🏴☠️ a certain navy admiral and her many secrets 🏳️🌈 sapphic sea goddess
Eeek, what do you think? 🫣
December! 💙
(And I’m absolutely panicking about it. 😅)
When my panic dies down a bit, I want to start sharing weekly(-ish) snippets, so stayed tuned for that.
I shared this on social media a while ago, but I never shared it here. So, if you haven’t seen it yet, please, feast your eyes upon this beautiful Pirates of Alethariafan-art. 💙💙💙💙
A very talented reader sent this to me, and obviously, I’m a puddle of happiness and will never recover.
Thank you so much to the artist, Helle Rahel Niguman! 💙💙💙💙
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Look at these lesbian pirates flirting—ahem, I mean sword-fighting! 🏴☠️🌈
And there’s one of Catherine, too! ⚔️💙
Isn’t it just wonderful? 🥹💙
Our Pride Month newsletter will (hopefully!) go out today or tomorrow, so until then, I hope you have an awesome day. 💙
