Inktober Writing Edition

So during October, I attempted Inktober, writer's edition. I got about eight days in, but I enjoyed the small stories I created. Here they all are. INKTOBER DAY ONE-RING Rupert’s hand shot out to stop Joseth from walking. The young dark-skinned man turned to his friend; eyebrow raised. A large grin spread out on Rupert’s face. Rupert turned Joseth to the shop. It was a vintage-looking jewelry shop. “Here’s where I’m getting Tesi’s ring,” Rupert stated. INKTOBER DAY TWO-MINDLE

What Arcana Are Your Characters?

Okay, so I see many authors placing their characters into Hogwarts House, I decided to give some of my characters some Persona choices. As a huge gamer, I love to mix my writing persona with my gaming one. Shin Megami Tensei is an amazing franchise published by Atlus. My favorite games of them are the SMT Persona series, though admittedly I've only played 3-5. So where do your characters align? Arcana List 0. Fool -The arcana stands for new beginnings, nothingness, and infini

Burnt Out, but Reborn

I have this habit of going too hard all at once, I try and balance so many things on my plate at once. My writing, my Youtube, my blog, my job, my gaming, my cosplay, my relationship. Eventually, something is going to fall by the waist side and when that happens I drop everything to fix that one thing and well, I just dropped everything. It's just like I was in school. I had that one class I could ace with no problem, but one class where I had a teacher pull me to the side an

The Savior's Champion Review

Tobias Kaya doesn't care about The Savior. He doesn't care that She's the Ruler of the realm or that She purified the land, and he certainly doesn't care that She's of age to be married. But when competing for Her hand proves to be his last chance to save his family, he’s forced to make The Savior his priority. Now Tobias is thrown into the Sovereign’s Tournament with nineteen other men, and each of them is fighting—and killing—for the chance to rule at The Savior's side.

7-7-7 Tag with ESA

I was tagged by Steven Patridge to participate in the 7-7-7 tag! Rules: Go to page 7 of your WIP, share 7 sentences, and then pass this along to 7 people. This scene takes place in chapter 2 of my WIP At one table, there was a large green and hairy being. It had a short trunk and, on its back, an apparatus that Rupert knew allowed it to breathe Earth’s air. At the other table, a man and a woman with similar facial features sat across from one another. The man had black feathe

Before She Ignites Review

Before Mira Minkoba is the Hopebearer. Since the day she was born, she’s been told she’s special. Important. Perfect. She’s known across the Fallen Isles not just for her beauty, but for the Mira Treaty named after her, a peace agreement that united the seven islands against their enemies on the mainland. But Mira has never felt as perfect as everyone says. She counts compulsively. She struggles with crippling anxiety. And she’s far too interested in dragons for a girl of

Book Review: Keeper

Magic always leaves a mark. When the ghost of a 200-year-old witch attacks her on the road, sixteen-year-old bookworm Lainey Styles is determined to find a logical explanation.

After the library archives and even Google come up empty, Lainey gives in and consults a psychic. There she discovers that,
