Welcome to my mostly sporadic, somewhat informative newsletter ;) |

Man, time is zipping by. It's September. September! And Tellus comes out in basically a month. Crazy. |
|
|
So! Who saw the Tellus cover reveal? Did you miss it?! Don't worry, I've got you covered. And, if you haven't seen the synopsis yet (beware, minor Imber spoilers) Tellus is up on Goodreads too! :D
Anyway, some AMAZING peeps on Instagram helped me with the reveal and now I'm going to share some of the posts with you because they're friggin gorgeous and I can't even. <3 |

Clicky the pic if you want to be taken to the owner's Instagram feed! ______ And thank you to everyone who took the time to make beautiful posts, or share in their stories, or just love on Tellus at all. I appreciate it more than words. <3

Gah. So beautiful. And like with Imber, all pics of Tellus I'm tagged in will end up in a slideshow on my website — with full credit to the taker, of course. (And yes, Imber's desperately needs updated. xD )
And, in case you missed it, Preorders ARE open. Links!

Alright guys. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen that I said there would be exciting things in this month's newsletter. This is a click-through link, as a heads up, since the official video isn't public on YouTube yet. ;) . But you guys get to see it first! . . . Are you ready? . . . Here's your exclusive first look at the Tellus book trailer. ;) |

Someday I might have some serious reading time again xD For now, here's what I'm working on! :D |

“I had to believe the good in life always prevailed. I had to believe that in the end, the truth would triumph.”
Mystery, danger, and heartache are all things Elara must face now back on Aroonyx. Jax continues to reveal dark secrets that challenge her and Cyrus’s trust, pushing them farther than they ever thought possible. Can they keep their identities hidden from Zenith and the Collectors? New and mysterious friends help the twins through their darkest hours while enemies lurk around every corner. Eventually, Elara and Cyrus discover things are not always as they seem. Unsure of their fate, the twins form an unbreakable bond that over time will be put to the ultimate test. Elara’s relationship with Jax evolves to a whole new level, only to be challenged during a life-changing night. Presented with a difficult choice, Elara is forced to make a sacrifice that alters the course of her future forever. Does she have the strength to accept this new fate? Can you truly love someone enough to let them go? Stillness of Time is the second installment in the award-winning, Seeker of Time Series. Filled with danger, adventure, romance, and heartache, the plot twist and turns around every corner, sending the reader on an emotional roller coaster that leaves them breathless, longing for more. ____________________ I'm about halfway through this beauty, and it's SO good! I highly recommend picking up book one, Seeker of Time, and giving these books a go. Especially since book three is out in November! :D | | |

Raised by a heartsick AI, she’s programmed to kill. And desperate to flee. After growing up on an isolated space station, Astra dreams of solid ground. But with an AI guardian plugged into her head--and her nervous system--it’s not like she’s flush with choices. In fact, she’s got just one: use her training to carry out the rogue AI’s revenge. Her first mission? Assassination. When her target flashes a jamming device that would guarantee her escape from the AI’s grasp, Astra sets out to steal it. But the AI’s plans are more dangerous than she suspected. Corrupted by heartbreak, the wayward computer is determined to infect the star system with a new order of digital tyranny. Astra’s been raised to care for no one but herself. Now she’ll have to decide if she’s willing to trade the star system’s freedom for her own. Parting Shadows is a far-future take on Estella Havisham’s journey in Great Expectations, and the first installment in Kate Sheeran Swed’s Toccata System novella trilogy.
__________________ I'm also partway through this one and Kate does such a beautiful job with SciFi, I'm utterly entranced. Definitely recommend — and it's only $.99 on Amazon ;) | | |

Yep, that's right, adding a new section this month. I was totally inspired by Susan Dennard on this one and, as many of you know, when I'm not reading or writing, I'm gaming. |
|
|
Some of you may know that I've been -obsessively- playing Fire Emblem: Three Houses since it released. This hasn't stopped. xD The story telling is intricate, the character development keeps me guessing, and the combat system is smooth and easy to learn. I'm here for it. Plus, I'm learning a few things about story crafting. Wins all around. ;) |
|
|
Okay so this one isn't out yet. But I have been waiting seven years for this beauty and I cannot WAIT to sink some time into her. The Borderlands series has such awesome story telling, with adult humor and weapons for days . . . and I'm ready for a new one! :D |

King — Lauren Aquilina I've been obsessed with this song for a couple months now. It's chill, it's beautiful, and the vibes for Ventus have been real. ;) | | |
|
|
Dancin — Aaron Smith ft Luvli (Krono Remix) Alternately this song is a bop and it's been my go-to for the gym lately. :D It's not rave-level hype but it's got a great beat and I'm feelin' it. | | |
|
|
Wah wah wah . . . Okay, another month with no blog. I am failing you guys SO HARD. I love you though, and I actually have an idea that I think might serve us better during the crazy busy months. I'm working out the technicalities right now, but should have something on my Instagram about it by the end of September. ;) |
|
|
And last, but not least . . . 'Imber' in the wild! ____________________ |

How friggin gorgeous is this?! Maria has been such a sweet support with the Tellus launch and look at this! Too damn pretty. Thanks, girl!!
PLUS she and her awesome sister are co-authoring their own fantasy books so keep an eye on them; their character art (by Gabi of course!) is to -die- for <3
