I always have the most trouble starting a novel - figuring out in what scene to begin or what gives the best dive into the action. After that, it's rocky sailing but at least we are on the sea.

There were a lot of characteristics I wanted to write about, it was just about creating a story that allowed those characteristics to come out.(less)

The A in LGBTQIA+ Stands for Asexual

June is Pride Month!

Read queer all year, but it’s also our month of celebrating queer joy—a pivotal piece in all of my book series. When you open up one of my books, you’ll find a queer-normative world with (main) characters who never judge or react poorly to sexual preferences or desires.

But today I’m celebrating my asexual main characters and their love (or friendship) in my series.

Quotes by Laura Winter  (?)

“You have always been ov qigri,” she breathed. “But I was never going to be os so’nei.” Your shadow.”
Laura Winter, The Wings of Shattered Fire

“Brela was about to watch her father die. No. In that moment, the wall she’d built around her magic broke inside her. She didn’t call it, but the shadows unleashed. She dropped her dagger and screamed as that power tore through her. She felt the magic rip out of her veins and connect with the darkness down the street. The shadows were the most beautiful and vicious things she’d ever seen. Tendrils of black fire and smoke launched from the ground and swarmed the soldiers, swallowing their screams as they shredded through the bodies. Bone, viscera, and red mist sprayed out of the darkness.”
Laura Winter, The Bones of Crystal Sand

“Serill only smiled wider as his friend squirmed in the background. “You two are going to set the forest on fire if you aren’t careful.”
Laura Winter, The Curse of Broken Shadows
