In the Writing Cave, this week:

- I released a new story!! It's called Wicked Song, and has a careful demon MC, a brutish angel villain, a gender fluid love interest, and a lot of paranormal trouble. If you enjoyed The Beast of Callaire, you'll probably like Wicked Song!

- I've written 12,788 words of MurderNovel. I'm writing at the right pace now, so I'm happy.

In my life:

- I'm rereading The Raven Cycle and it's hurting my heart.

On the internet, this week I found useful:

BEGIN READING NOW:

A demon’s eye glitters in the harp’s reflection. At that narrowed glare, my nerves awaken. I wipe my palms on my crisp trousers, heft the harp into my arms, and walk through heavy purple curtains onto the stage as Mr. Vincent booms, “Next we have Rosenfay Marsh on the harp.”

Every millisecond of expectant silence from the audience sends a new prick of nervousness through me.

“Don’t disappoint me,” the demon hisses.

The Last Autumn Royal (Short story)

This is just a quick flash fiction piece I wrote to get out of my system. It's unrelated to either of my WIPs or to The Lux Guardians.

The Earthen Queen (Short story)

This is a short story myth told as a fairy tale to accompany The Books of Amber my forthcoming high fantasy novella series. It features castles and trickery - everything a good fairy tale needs, and can be read on it's own, without having read the novella series. Enjoy.
