Happy Bi Visibility Day to all of my bisexual friends and readers! ๐๐๐ Youโre amazing and valid and valued, and I hope you all feel extra-valued today! ๐๐๐
And in honor of the day, hereโs a pretty bi line from my bisexual, vampire protagonist, Rose Foster. ๐ ๐
I completely forgot to share our teaser on Thursday, so for the last teaser of Pride Month, hereโs Kara being โvery proud of herselfโ …instead of preparing for an apocalypse. ๐
Rose gave her a skeptical look. โYou havenโt had time to warn them that theyโre all going to die, but youโve had time to tell them Iโm your new girlfriend?โ
Kara grinned, her light blue eyes sparkling. โIโm very proud of myself.โ
Rose tilted her head, flashing a sassy smile at her. โArenโt you always?โ
โUhh, hello?!โ the vampire interrupted. โYou said the world is ending?!โ
Happy 3rd Teaser Day of Pride Month! ๐ค๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ค๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ค
โIโve defied fate at every turn for you.โ
โI know,โ Kara sighed. โAnd I have no right to ask you to do it again.โ
Rose turned toward Kara, studying her with a frown. โAsk me, anyway.โ
Karaโs light blue gaze shifted up, meeting Roseโs. โWhat?โ
Rose stepped closer. She reached up, brushing her fingertips over Karaโs face. She watched as Karaโs eyes closed, as she leaned forward. โAsk me, anyway,โ Rose repeated. She tilted her face, her lips brushing Karaโs. โBecause Iโll say yes.โ
Her voice was barely a whisper, now. โIโll always say yes.โ
For the second Teaser Day of Pride Month, hereโs Rose and Kara having a Totally Normalโข๏ธ bedtime dispute. ๐
โYouโre not keeping a battle-axe in the bed that we share.โ
Kara stepped closer, before taking another sip of her drink. โWhy not?โ
Rose lifted both eyebrows, unable to hide her smile. โBecause itโs sharp!โ
Kara leaned closer. โSo are you,โ she said, tapping Roseโs chest with the bottom of her glass. Her lips curved into a smile. โBut I still keep you in my bed.โ
Rose opened her mouth and closed it again, blushing at the implications. Finally, she managed, โMental sharpness doesnโt hack peopleโs heads off, Kara.โ
The Reign of Darkness, the fourth and final book of the Creatures of Darkness Series, will be released on March 3, 2020! ๐งโโ๏ธ๐ Soโฆjust a little over two weeks from now! ๐ค
Iโve been reluctant to post a release date because, between life events and rewrites, it can get really unpredictable. This last year (or so) has been a tough one, and my writing time has been more limited than ever. And on top of that, each time I would get close to finishing, I would decide to rewrite it all over again. ๐
My anxiety is partly to blame for that. This is the final book of the series, after all. I want it to be perfect (or as perfect as possible, anyway). Iโve been dreaming up this book for so long (since I started the series), and I want it to be the satisfying, worthy conclusion that Iโve always hoped it would be. ๐ค
Your support of this seriesโand of Rose and Karaโhas meant the world to me, and I will never be able to thank you enough for it. ๐ค But I hope I can at least give you a satisfying conclusion to the seriesโand one that was worth the wait. ๐ค
Two more weeks! ๐ค
P.S. โ Iโm extremely sleep-deprived, so if this sounds a little sappy and rambly, thatโs probably why. ๐
Happy (belated) Thanksgiving to my American readers, and Happy How-Is-It-December-Already to everyone else. ๐ Thanks to the holidays, kids’ birthdays, the flu, and then a bit of a depression spiral, I’m pretty behind on updates, but I’ll try to share one within the next few days. ๐ Until then…teaser! ๐
I hope you enjoy it! And have a wonderful week! ๐
Oh, you know, just your typical bedtime bickering…
Happy Halloween! ๐ (And Teaser Day! ๐ค) Iโm still getting The Reign of Darkness ready for release, but hereโs a blood-themed scene from the night Rose and Kara met. โค๏ธ
Since itโs World Mental Health Day, Iโm sharing this scene from The Assassins of Lightagainโas a reminder that mental illness doesnโt mean youโre less or weak or any other stigma people have attached to it. Itโs okay to not be okay. ๐
If you follow me on social media, you probably know that I struggle a lot with mental illness, too. That’s why it’s so important to me to write characters like Rose, who have PTSD and depressionโor other mental illnesses. I want you to know that, even if you feel alone in this, you’re not. ๐ And if you ever need internet hugs, I’m happy to send them. ๐ Love you guys. Take care of yourselves. ๐
Happy International Lesbian Day from your local, awkward, writing-obsessed lesbian! ๐ I hope you all had a good day! ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
And to celebrate, here’s the character aesthetic for our favorite lesbian, seductive, Viking-warrior-vampire: Kara! โค๏ธ (At least I hope she’s our favorite. That was awfully specific. ๐)
