FROM MY SOCIAL CORNER

Hahaha real talk: when I saw the romantasy lineup for fall releases this year, as an indie author with a book coming out, a part of me got just a bit stressed with how marketing would go. 😂

It’s okay though because it’s all fun and so amazing to see these series that we all love coming out with new books! But on the reading side of my life, the books that have been in my TBR for a while … might be getting a little impatient with me! 🙃

Listen, enemies to lovers is a great trope…but FOUND FAMILY??? I will die on the hill that it is the best trope out there. Nothing makes a story world come more alive for me than a great cast of friends and family and so when I came across @lamai.anne.creative and her incredible character portraits, I knew I had to snap them up for the Heirs of Lirien series.

So here are the friends, the siblings, the characters that we all love … or love to hate. 😘

Amahle

We met her in Carved in Crimson, but our girl Amahle is back in Blood of the Bound, at Seren’s side, helping her best friend navigate the unknown world outside of the Dreadwood.

Amahle is fierce and loyal, but she’s also one of the few that can talk sense into our feisty FMC. And that’s why she’s so necessary … because Seren seriously wouldn’t survive without her.

Tara
Is there anyone who can tell you like it is in the same way an older sister does? NOPE. Tara Ragnall is back in book two, saltier than ever, and trying to hold together a family that went through absolute hell and was torn apart.

Tara is solid as a rock, even when she’s suffering, and that’s why I love her so much. Because sometimes, you need your big sister to shake you by the shoulders and then hug you.

Thorne
He may be a mysterious bear shifter, but he’s also one of the finest warriors to come out of Pendara. Rykr’s right hand man, Thorne is one of the few people in Lirien that Rykr can trust as he navigates a kingdom that is actively trying to sabotage his claim to the throne.

And don’t ask him to take off that bear fur…cause he’s not gonna.

Malin
Rykr/Calix wasn’t the only member of his family to survive the murder of his siblings … his younger sister Malin escaped thanks to the patriarchal royal inheritance.

But don’t count her out just because she’s a “princess.” She’s smart. She’s angry. And she’ll do whatever it takes to fight for the family she has left.

Madoc
We finally get to meet Tara’s twin in book two … and hang onto something because this guy knows how to make an entrance.

Madoc Ragnall is as morally grey as he is a fierce rebel warrior … but he’s also a man sworn to oaths. Just don’t ask him to show deference to

Look, I’m pretty basic. I love my coffee. My cozy blankets. My slippers. And of course, fall.

But I CANNOT tell you how much I needed this fall. After a summer of writing nonstop and pushing myself to my absolute limits (including at the gym haha—which I’m still wondering how I made it five days a week in the thick of finishing two books)…I needed a break.

So I forced myself to take one after I finished Blood of the Bound. And, believe me, breaks are not easy because I don’t know how to take them any more (I’ve been quietly working on rebuilding my website).

But the itch to write has started.

I’m not quite ready to start typing … but books are brewing in my notebook. And lots of fun things are on the horizon…

Happy Monday!!

I am soooo excited to reveal some art for Blood of the Bound by the amazing @ariel_illustration_art!! She did an incredible job!!

Listen … this might be one of my absolutely favorite scenes of Blood of the Bound and I can’t wait for you to read it!! If Aragon opening those doors at Helm’s Deep is your sort of vibe … you’re going to swoon for Rykr here. 💋🖤💋

He made a blood oath to save her life … but he never imagined what it would awaken inside her.

Even as Seren begins to fear herself, there’s only one thing Rykr truly fears:

A world without her. 🖤

Blood of the Bound, Heirs of Lirien Book Two is out in ONE MONTH!!
