Writing Multiple Series in a World: Part One
All Images Via PinterestSo, I've decided to start another series. This one detailing writing multiple series in one world, it will answer the questions of why I do it, how I do it, and what doing it looks like.
I'll be publishing one post a month in this series for the next three months, so keep your eyes out for parts 2 and 3! The questions are ordered as follows:
Why Do I Write Multiple Series in One World? (March)
What Does Writing Multiple Series in One World Look Like? (April)
How Do I Write Mu...

The March Muchness Blog Tag
Hello, guys, I'm doing a tag today hosted by the lovely Christine Smith as well as a whole host of other individuals whom you should all check out (they're listed in the image above). This tag is Alice in Wonderland themed which is of course a theme I couldn't turn down since I'm currently working on publishing my Alice Through the Looking Glass inspired tale later this spring.
So, without any further introduction, let's dive straight into the questions, shall we?List six impossible things you’d...

Where we stand with Amar
So, this post is going up late... I had no time to write it ahead of time because EVERY spare second I've had since Thursday has gone to trying to finish editing A Season of Subterfuge, Courtiers, and War Councils. To be quite frankly honest, most of my time these past four weeks has been tied up with SoS, I don't even know when was the last time I played a video game...
(via Pinterest)Anyway, before I turn on the TV and kill some innocent NPCs as a way of destressing, I thought I would share th...

Cover Reveal: Ship to Nowhere
[image error]
Today I have a cover reveal to do. It's not for one of my books though, it's for the next installment of the Clockwork FaerieTale Novellas series by my sister Jes Drew... which is yup. It's exactly how it sounds. It's a fairytale (and other popular tales) retelling series with a steampunk twist. This one is a Sindbad retelling and it's a wild ride.
Included in this installment:
-Disguises and hidden identities
-A gruff, cynical, but noble hero with a dark past
-A young, naive and plucky heroine on...

A Little About my Next Ruskhazar Projects
Folly of the Gods(Images Via Pinterest)Rage Like the Gods may be written, A Tale of Gods and Glory may be published, but things are far from finished in Ruskhazar.
I'm currently hard at work drafting two projects set there. One is Rage Like the God's sequel Folly of the Gods which I shall say absolutely nothing about because of spoilers.
But the next project I am so excited to share more about. It's the first book set in a totally different series that takes place in Ruskhazar. I've said before t...

A Matter of Curiosity Cover Reveal
I'm posting today instead of Monday because today happens to be 2.22.22 and I couldn't let such a beautifully aesthetic date go to waste so I decided to do a cover reveal today.
I'm sure you guys have been waiting some time for this particular reveal. You've only been waiting—what?—three years, for the sequel to A Certain Sort of Madness. But at long last we have a cover and a (hopeful) release date!
So, let's start scrolling to see them both...

It's Valentines Day so Let's Talk About OTPs
So, it's Valentine's Day and honestly, I would be wasting an opportunity here if I didn't spend today talking about the ships and romantic pairings in my books.
Now, full disclosure, I'm pretty sure I have every one of my (published) books represented here except for My Time in Amar however I do not (as of yet) have any art done from MTiA, and also there is some contention on who is actually the OTP of MTiA, whether it is Phelsea or Chelston. So instead of tipping my hat and showing which one is ...

What's Next for Ruskhazar
All images from Pinterest, I take no credit for themWith the release of A Tale of Gods and Glory in the rearview mirror it begs the question of what is next in store for my beloved Ruskhazar.
Short answer: A LOT.
The slightly longer and more detailed answer...
Ruskhazar is a vast story world that houses somewhere around 23 books. To be completely honest with you guys, I think that I'll probably be working on these books for at least a decade (with of course other series on the side because let's be...

An Update on A Tale of Gods and Glory
Art by Maddy Moore
I'm not going to lie, I was hoping to be able to do a cover reveal today, but alas the cover is not ready to be revealed and I am now left in the unfortunate predicament of not having any blog post scheduled for today.
So, I guess I'll just give a brief update on where we stand with A Tale of Gods and Glory.
I finished the final round of edits on it!!! It ended up being 120,000 words long which is... hehe, that's a lot more than the 80k I originally estimated it would be. But n...
