 QOTD: How many books do you prefer in a series? Both reading and writing 

 To me, as a reader, I’m not sure it matters as long as the story warrants the number of books 

 As an author… Hmm. Not sure! I’m a pantser, so my story sort of evolves as I go along, but I’m hoping to stick to 3-6 books per series, with whatever other ideas being standalones 

 Speaking of series, The Light of Darkness is definitely reaching its conclusion now. The final edit of book 6, The Thousand Year Divide, is almost finished!! So exciting 

One of those days when you look back and you feel so proud of what you’ve accomplished. All written since the autumn of 2018. Onwards and upwards!

HERE IT IS!!!! The full cover for The Thousand Year Divide

All done by @coversbychristian Thanks again for all the wonderful covers you created for my series

QOTD: How important is the blurb to you? And for authors, do you like writing blurbs?

To me (as a reader), sure, the cover is important to catch that initial attention, but the blurb sells the book. It’ll make me want to read it or not.

But as an author… Ugh, I cannot properly express my distaste for blurbs Along with marketing, they are the banes of my life

So, if anyone is wondering, I’m busy cussing out my computer for not writing my current blurb for me

 Here’s another part of the cover for The Thousand Year Divide 

 All done by @coversbychristian 

 LOOK HERE, YOU GUYS!!  I’ve got the last cover for The Light of Darkness, fresh from @coversbychristian 

 Like always, I’ll post a couple of pieces before revealing it fully, but the book is titled The Thousand Year Divide and will soon be released!! I’m so excited 

 Once again, and despite me being a royal pain in the ass, Christian Bentulan at @coversbychristian did a fabulous job!  He has the patience of an angel! 

 Tuesday Teaser 

 Snippet from The Power of Conviction (The Light of Darkness, book 1) 

Watching him jump, she could observe his nimble movements. How he, despite his size, dampened the fall to the point of nearly not making a sound. The demon bent down, righted the basket again, then scooped some of her berries back into it. “Where have you been?” he asked.

Anaya frowned. “What do you mean, ‘where I’ve been?’”

“Your late walks. You stopped taking them.”

“Who… well, who wouldn’t, with a stalker such as yourself!” she exclaimed, still sitting on the ground. “There is no way this is a coincidence. What’s this, the… the fifth time you return now?” She tried to regain her composure as she stood. Brushing grass and leaves off her robes, she took a deep breath, then stared at him. “Are you here to punish me?”

“Keeping count, are we? And punish you? That’s funny.” Samael gave a sly smile. “If you mean that Light you tried to burn me with, then forget about it. Is that why you stopped going out at night? Fear of me?”

Anaya’s face reddened. “I’m not afraid of you!” She crossed her arms, looking away. “But I am concerned about your intentions, whatever they may be.”

“Is that not a distinction without a difference?”

Anaya slammed her foot on the ground. “You be quiet! Stop your taunts, demon!”

“Back to ‘demon’ are we? Ah well, it was fun while it lasted.” Samael turned and walked away.
