Ship it or RIP it blogging collab with Faith

 Today I have a fun surprise for you. I'm doing a blogging collaboration with the awesome Faith. We decided to swap some of our characters and mix them together and see if we would ship it or if we had to RIP it. So without further ado, I'll share the pairings that I got.






Captain Derek Terarnthien, The Pentegreens series by R.F. Gammon


Princess Elisabeth White, A Winter Dark and Deadly by Nicki Chapelway

An interesting combo that's for sure. I'm assuming that in order for them to meet...

Farewell June

Okay wow. If any of you see who made off with June report them. Please.

Life

I don't know about any of you, but I had a very rainy June. Toward the end of June my workload lightened and I was able to get a lot done. I finally organized my bookshelf and now it looks amazing. I drew quite a bit. This is one piece I did from a scene I was working on for A Time of Trepidation, Pirates, and Lost Princesses.

The Language of Worlds Linkup

This month I thought I would discuss one of my main characters from my Sci-Fi story. Since that's the story I'm working on for GTW's 100-for-100 and I've hardly talked about it on this blog.





I actually have quite a few main characters in this story, since it is a team book. At least four main-main ones, but today I decided to talk about the one who is probably my favorite.

So without any further ado I give you Rane Catlea a scrappy thief, and where I left off, reluctant recruit for the Federati...

Farewell May

Is May already over? Seriously? Already? Oh sheesh. But anyway, I guess that means that we are now in my favorite month, June.

But first a little wrap up for last month.

Life

This month I have been focusing on "taking care of myself". Just the little things. Drinking more water, eating healthier, exercising more, not letting myself dwell on negative thoughts. It isn't much but it has certainly helped with my state of mind.

I've suffered from a bit of reader's block lately. I only got two b...

A Chance At Death Part 3

Okay so I did consider not publishing the final part this week and instead doing my monthly wrap-up and making y'all suffer. But I'm not actually that mean. Well, actually I am, but I didn't have time to do a monthly wrap-up post this week so I guess you are in luck XD

Anyway, onto the third and final part...



“I’m sorry, Sephone,” he mumbles staring down at his hands. When he raises his eyes I notice that they are rimmed with red in the pale bluish glow of the glowgems. “I’m sorry for the pain...

A Chance at Death: Part 2

Settle down, children. It's storytime with Nicki in which I give you part two of my short story A Chance at Death.



“Why would I believe you?” I ask again, my voice much quieter this time.“Because I spoke the truth,” he says at last. His voice is soft as ever. A mere whisper.Perhaps the reason I trusted him was because I didn’t think a monster could be so soft spoken.I grit my teeth. “Do you truly expect me to believe that? Truly? After everything that happened? After you betrayed me? And you w...

A Chance at Death: Part 1

So this week I'm doing something different. Instead of my usual rambling blog posts, I'm going to share a story that I wrote for an anthology themed in death. The story was not accepted so Faith suggested that I post it on my blog. I'm dividing this story into a three part series. Considering that I'm starting to write some flash fiction for Havok there may be longer series like this in the near future.

But now, without further ado, A Chance at Death- I hope you enjoy!


I’m not dead. And th...
