Doing the questionnaire for my new book HOOKED: Peter Pan falls for Captain Hook’s daughter, out on March 15th.
1. What, if any, nicknames does your OC have for the people in their life?
Peter calls Wendy 'Mermaid’.
2. Which OC brags about a nickname they’ve been given?
Viscount Hooke loves being called 'the Captain’ by his enemies.
2a. What do they find brag-worthy about it?
All the evil things he’s done.
3. Which OC goes only by a nickname?
Dante. He hates his real name.
4. Which OC gave themself a new name at some point in their life?
Peter. When he grew up, he made people call him 'Lord Darlington’.
4a. Was there anything that drew them to choosing that specific name?
His heritage.
5. Do any of your OCs take their occupational title/role particularly seriously?
Nope. None of them.
5a. How much of their work responsibilities do they 'take home’ with them? What does their downtime and/or social life look like?
When the book starts, they are all in school (where they are being heavily mistreated), and they couldn’ care less about their 'education’.
6. Do any of your OCs take their occupational title/role particularly unseriously?
All of them.
6a. How busy or slow is their place of work, usually? What’s the worst case scenario for them neglecting their responsibilities?
Peter and his 'lost boys’ get punished frequently for missing class. They are being starved and hit and lots of other amazing things. Some days without provocation.
7. Is there an in-universe story or character your OC strongly identified with at any point?
Peter sees himself as a Robin Hood of the poor, orphaned boys in his school. He also sees himself as an idiot, but there is no story for that.
7a. If not, were they or their situation ever accurately compared to that story/character by someone else? If so, how did they feel about it?
Wendy is compared to a siren (and it’s pretty accurate).
8. If asked to make up a bedtime story, what would your OC come up with?
Peter would make up a story about a crocodile and pirates. And then he would rescue every single lost boy in it (and in real life).
9. What would your OC consider a good dream?
Being with the girl he loves forever, free of danger.
10. What would your OC consider a nightmare?
Being with the girl he loves. Because she is Captain Hook’s daughter.
Hooked comes out in a few days *hides*

“Promise me you won’t forget me.”
“Are you daft? I’d sooner forget my own name.”
But he did forget.
And she didn’t see him again for years.
When she finally met him, he wasn’t her Peter any longer: he was a stranger. A pirate. An enemy.
When Wendy Hooke was a little girl, she saved a boy from starvation. The boy, Peter, taught her how to fly. Now the boy is a man, a gorgeous man, and he has forgotten all about her. She watches him take London’s ballrooms by storm, pursued by every designing mama, but Peter doesn’t even glance at her. Because it’s not ‘Peter’ now, it’s Lord Darlington.
Peter Darlington hasn’t forgotten the girl who saved his life. In fact, he can’t stop thinking about her. But his life is complicated. Forces stronger than himself, dark, vicious forces, are driving him into a life of danger and daily confrontations with death. He is no longer the teenaged boy who fell in love with Wendy Hooke. And now the webs of his secret gang that fights crime on the streets of London are closing in on the greatest criminal of all time, the Viscount Hooke.
And Wendy…well, she is his daughter.
Hooked is a heart-wrenching love story of enemies-to-lovers to enemies again. It alternates between sparkling adventure, shattering sadness and searing-hot romance. It is inspired by the tale of Peter Pan and the rich lore of Greek mythology, as well as the glorious history of the Greek Revolution of 1821. It is set in the glittering world of Regency London, and so, among all the anguish and kisses, the reader can expect to read all about sharp cheekbones, pirate ships, witty banter, painted ballrooms, fierce ladies and a roguish gentleman or two who are up to no good.
One thing is certain: we are no longer in Jane Austen’s Regency London.
Filled with humor, steam, angst and hope, this is Regency as you’ve never read it before.
Content warning for: Mental health issues, parental harm, criminal behavior (lots of it), an extremely cute but idiotic found family and an overload of pining. For more information about serious issues that might concern you, please contact the author.
Hooked might look like a quick, fun read, but don’t be fooled: it will break your heart into a million pieces.

Do any of...
Do any of you know about that one painting with Aphrodite being born out of lava with a black swan by her side or did i completely hallucinate that? Been searching for a while but i can’t find it for shit.
I tried googling that description but no luck either, anyone might know what painting this might be (or if it does exist? cause it sounds sick lol)
It took a bit of googling magic, but I think I’ve found it.
This is “Kindled” by Laura K. Cannon, which is part of her portfolio that can be found here: http://navate.com/2wk6im1sartc92iwza7il07bxq2mk5
Is this what you were looking for? @sakyubaso
I’m in love.
Y'all I’m-
“This went kinda viral on tumblr and people are arguing whether it’s a painting of Aphrodite. It’s not. If she must be a goddess, I think she’d be Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of fire.
But it doesn’t depict anyone specifically. After some soul-searching I realize that, while I wasn’t thinking about it at the time, it’s a painting about battling depression. I live with MDD so the idea of emerging from the depths is a powerful thing for me.
Is she being born from the lava, or is she climbing out of Hell? I think it’s both.”
so. not Aphrodite, but someone beautiful nonetheless
