Introduction

Hey there! I’m a fantasy author and illustrator. Whether you’re here for advice posts, stories, illustrations, or all three, I’m happy to have you around! 


Female. Not straight. Over 18. She/her pronouns, please. My favourite stories are Red Sister by Mark Lawrence, Brave Story by Miyuki Miyabe, and The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo.


What I Post

If you like magical lesbian cat-elves, you've come to the right place! I tend to write Dark, High Fantasy with female protagonists, many of whom are LGBT+. All of my works, collectively referred to as The Chroma Books, are set in my original fantasy universe The Chromaverse. 


In terms of writing advice, my goal is to decode common sayings and examine many more topics ranging from storycraft to characters to worldbuilding with logic. Writing—and writing well—is already difficult. It doesn't have to be mystifying. I can't write for you, but I can explain my understanding of craft basics in a clear, meaningful way.

Posting Schedule

* Tips and Tricks Tuesdays (Writing From The Heart)

* Flash Fiction Fridays (Thirty Three Tales of War)

* Sunday Book Review (Wattpad Only) 

 

What I Do Not Post

Fanfiction or anything meant to be erotic. I pretty much stick to high and/or dark fantasy in both reading and writing.


Am I Available For Editing?

I have toyed with the idea of editing on the side before. Since I have no professional experience yet (but plenty of the casual variety), I've got a special tier on my Patreon for 5000 words at a rate of half a cent per word.

About Me: I hate "about me" things. lol I never know what to write. I'm heading into what society would call middle age and I call "Holy Cow! I made it!" But, I neither look, nor act like it. I'm still an eclectic geek and nerd at heart and fly those banners proudly. I love all things papercrafting and mixed media art. I have a love affair with words, pens, and notebooks. My reputation at the office is one of pure organization, although you'd never know it to look at my house.

About My Journal: I am a casual journaler and commenter. I post when I have the time and inclination. Generally, if I don't feel I have something to add to a conversation other than "me too!", I won't comment. (The exception being hugs when needed.) My journal here is mostly for fannish things and personal things. Topics can everywhere from Marvel to planners to privacy/security to nature-based faiths to what my Second Life avatar is wearing this week.

What I Write: For a living, I write technical documentation and support content. For fun, I write fiction, both fan and original, mostly in some sub-genre of speculative fiction or romance or both.

What I Don't Write: Pregnancy stories, teenage main characters, a variety of hardcore kinks, PWP

What I Read: If it has words, I'll generally give it a shot. But, I tend to read what I write most often: science fiction, fantasy, supernatural, romance, various non-fiction works depending on what I'm researching at the moment. I do a lot of random/just because research. So, the topics really can run the gamut.

What I Don't Read: Badly out of character fanfiction or any of the subjects I don't write.

Could I Edit Someone Else's Work: I do this as part of my job, actually, as well as occasionally beta-reading for fests.
