With Yosiah’s secrets catching up to him—so deadly that he and Miya will be lucky to get out alive—Bennet torn between two times and two loves, and Branwell doubting his place in the future, not everyone may reach the next battle.

The Revelation is the third book in the Lux Guardians series, a post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller with a historical twist. If you like sinister plots, desperate survival stories, and world-changing revolutions, you’ll love this story of family, friendship, and rebellion!

In 1878, when Branwell and Bennet’s genius father is murdered and an invention is stolen, the siblings discover his work is linked to the future destruction of the world. But when they’re transported to a derelict place far from home, how will they reclaim the stolen device?

The Forgotten is the first book in the Lux Guardians series, a post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller with a historical twist. If you like sinister plots, desperate survival stories, and world-changing revolutions, you’ll love this story of family, friendship, and rebellion!

5 Ways The Revelation Surprised Me

Or: A Book Called The Revelation Actually Gives Me, The Author, A Revelation (Or 5)

1

I thought I had the characters and their romantic wants figured out but some characters seriously surprised me and took over their own stories. Bennet and Miya, especially.

2

Speaking of characters writing their own stories ... the ending of The Revelation did NOT go the way I had it planned out. It was much less traumatic and sad in my plan but the characters drove it in a completely different direction. (So if you've read it, blame them, not me...)

3

I set out to write the book with a linear timeline, and unlike The Forgotten (and the next Lux Guardians book, tentatively titled The Riot!) with only one timeline. But I started exploring the backstory of certain characters and a whole flashback timeline expanded and needed to be written. I think the story is MUCH stronger for it, too, and sheds some light on the revelation the book was named for.

4

Horatia is a character I didn't know an awful lot about. I knew the essentials but I really dove into her thoughts and background with this book, and it surprised me how effortless it was to write her as opposed to some other characters (looking at you, Honour and Branwell) and how easy her story flowed. She's now one of the characters I understand the most, and I'm excited to explore more of her POV in the next book!

5

The Revelation was supposed to set everything up for the last book, but whoile writing this I realised there's way too much to be explored and resolved and set up still for The Union, which means The Lux Guardians will be FIVE BOOKS LONG. Five books finally feels like the right number of books for this series, and I have a very fixed idea of how it'll end (here's hoping the characters don't take over again.) I think part of the reason I struggled to write this book was because it was hard to figure out where I wanted it to end up, but I shouldn't have the same problem with the next books. I'm actually looking forward to expanding the world and going new places, meeting new characters, and throwing new dangers at the characters.

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:

- Nanowrimo was pretty awesome for me! I wrote 50,050 on The Revelation, my Nano project, and a further 30K on side projects. Not too shabby.

- I edited 28 pages of a Christmas Gift novella for my newsletter subscribers. This will be delivered to your inboxes right before Christmas!!

- I wrote 13,150 of Pride & Joy, my f/f witchy murder book. I probably won't release this until I have more than one book ready to go, to cut down on time between releases.

In my life:

- Writing took over 99% of my life last month so I'm hoping to catch up on All The Things. You may have noticed my content on this blog is sorely lacking. Hoping to fix this in the next month!

Discovery Found or Lesson Learned:

It's literally impossible to do everything. Sometimes I think everyone needs a reminder of this little fact. You can't do everything at once.

It has been an entire AGE since I last updated. November has been crazy hectic, writing wise for me, so blogging and everything else took a back seat. Here's what I've been up to this fortnight:

In the Writing Cave, this week:

- I wrote 32,353 words of The Revelation and IT'S DONE! It's a goopy, inconsistent mess but at least it's vaguely book-shaped!

- I accidentally started writing another project that DEMANDED I write it. I'm loving it so far, and I've written 16,146. It's Fantasy NA, with YA crossover appeal. Not super sexy though - just going on character ages and the theme of finding your place in the world. I'll say three things about it

+ The characters are a race of immortals
+ It uses the LightVsDark trope and then LightAndDarkVsGreaterEvil
+ The world is inspired by the Ottoman Empire

In my life:

- This is my entire life:

 Writing, Christmas, Writing, Christmas, ACOMAF!

Discovery Found or Lesson Learned:

I somehow get way more done when I have twice the workload?? I progress much faster working on two projects at a time. It makes no sense but it works for me. Try it!

Missed a week because I went on holiday.

In the Writing Cave, this week:

- I wrote 11, 801 words of The Revelation. It's not going well tbh.

- I've planned, prepped, and plotted a Christmas short story (could be novella, could be novel, we'll see how it goes!) It's British urban fantasy, with witches and fae and elves, and f/f. I'll be sending this story out to all my newsletter subscribers for free as a treat for the holidays, but it'll also be up on Amazon. At some point, it could become a series, but I don't know for sure yet.

In my life:

- I went to the beach for a week!

Discovery Found or Lesson Learned:

Before I start developing any characters, I HAVE to know their names, and from their names I build personality, looks, habits, family, etc. I also find it really helpful to have a list of surnames and male and female first names common to where the story is set (i.e. England, North West.) for unexpected characters and easy reference.

In my life:

- JUST getting to reading Crooked Kingdom. How much is this book gonna wreck me?

Discovery Found or Lesson Learned:
This is a new segment of W&W! I wasn't spending enough time on the internet to collate helpful links, but still wanted to provide some form of information that might be useful to you!

This week I've learned I can't commit to a project I don't 100% love. I was writing a NA UF Dragons book off and on, but I just don't have that spark with it that makes me dying to write it. I loved it 75%, not 100%, and I think the issue is in the characters. Who knows, maybe in the future I'll rework it into something I love much, much more, but for now it's shelved.

I'm on time! Yasss.

In my life:

- Struggling to balance all the elements of work and health at the moment.

On the internet, this week I found useful:

- I'm failing at this segment. I might have to rethink it! Or organise myself to better collect what I'm reading.

In my life:

- Had a crappy health week, so didn't get much done.

On the internet, this week I found useful:

- I'm not spending that much time online lately. I don't have the energy for it :/

Annnnnd late again.

In the Writing Cave, this week:

- I researched A TONNE more for The Lux Guardians

- I' wrote 6,021 words of The Revelation. It's slow going but at least it's moving...

In my life:

- I got Empire of Storms so that's pretty much taken over everything... Plus it's helping distract me from being in pain constantly, which is a plus!

On the internet, this week I found useful:

- Nada. Sorry.

Ugh, late again. Sorry, guys, I'm really bad at scheduling lately.

In the Writing Cave, this week:

- I'm still in the research trenches for The Lux Guardians and loving finding out obscure facts about my book's locations.

- And I've planned more of The Revelation, enough for me to start drafting.

- I've written 1.5K of The Revelation!! I've officially begun!

In my life:

- I'm rereading Heir of Fire and Queen of Shadows in preparation for Empire of Storms. I love Rowan and Dorian and Aelin so, so much.

On the internet, this week I found useful:

- Nada. Been swamped and overwhelmed this week.


A Book I've Loved Lately:

Got it on a whim because it was my birthday and I could, but I ended up LOVING this. It has everything I love in fantasy, the crime, the darkness, the scary as shit villains, plus bonus pirates and a super slow friendship. Love, love, love.
