Words & Wonders (57)

Welcome to Words & Wonders, a weekly journal of writing updates, links I've found useful or interesting, and book recommendations. I hope W&W will prove to be useful to you writers out there as well as offering an insight into my writing progress for my readers. Don't forget to leave a comment with your own writing progress!

In the Writing Cave, this week:

- I've second drafted 152 pages of The Powers of Callaire. I have also split the super long book (like DOUBLE the size of The Beast of Callaire) into two books, which is good news for everyone. 
You can read more about that over on Facebook.

- I've also worked on a new website which I hope to reveal next month, and designed some killer book covers, one of which being The Powers of Callaire!

In my life:

- I'm not sick this week!!! Hooray!!

On the internet, this week I found useful:

- How To Write Protagonists of Colour When You're White
This post has me returning to thinking about my space in diverse YA, and debating writing a white MC in my next series, something I return to contemplating regularly. I don't want to force my way into spaces that don't belong to me, but I do want to accurately represent the world I know.

What have you written this week?

Title & cover re-reveal for Lux Guardians stories!

This book has been in dire need of a facelift for a long time, and not only does it have a new cover but it has a new title too! I hope with this redesign it'll help the stories reach more readers (and assure people who haven't read TLG series that it can be read separately.)

So here's the new cover:

It has the romance-y vibe going that I wanted, and a little hint at its setting. Much better than its previous cover!

And here's what the stories are about:

Three romantic dystopian stories.

In a futuristic London, two people are drawn together in a desperate attempt to survive.

An ordinary girl is swept into a world of danger when she catches the attention of the deadliest man in Forgotten London - the military Captain. He says he wants to help her but can she believe him?

When he witnesses an attempted murder, one boy risks his life to save a total stranger.

Love In Forgotten Places is a prequel in the Lux Guardians series but the stories can stand alone.

You can get Love In Forgotten Places at Amazon, B&N, and Itunes now. The new cover should be up in a couple hours!

What do you think of the new look?
