Another Free Sale plus Preview of New Novel

Hey, everyone. I was meaning to do a blog post earlier, but I was cooped up with everything in my life. And, when I tried to finalize my blog post, yesterday, I accidentally pressed something and all my hard work was gone. So now that I'm in a better disposition, I will give you guys a quick update (not sure how quick).

As you may have known, I was featured in the Indie Advent Calendar event on Wednesday, and I had to do a takeover on a Facebook group called Navigating Indieworld (it's fun. If any writer wants to join, do check it out). If you guys have missed it, don't worry. There was nothing much you have missed. Plus, I'm doing a recap in here.

From one of my posts, I was going to a free ebook sale on The Serpent Girl somewhere in December. At last, I found the date, and it will start on December 22nd to December 25th before midnight. So please don't miss this opportunity. As I said before, I want to be generous for every holiday season including this year's. So consider it as my gift to you!

Lastly, I have shown a preview of my new novel that I have been working on and a reveal of the title. I called it The Weight of Our Souls. So I will place the preview below, so you guys can read it. There are no spoilers. I'm just giving you an idea of what the story is going to be about. Until then, stay up-to-date and have a good day!

Preview of The Weight of Our Souls: Entering my office, I noticed the scent of lavender filling up my nose. Even though I came here to discuss with Nana about Nikhil yesterday, I missed being here, surrounded by the stillness of the air. And when I closed the door behind me, I opened the cabinet full of bottles which have glowed in random patterns, creating a luminescent light in the room. It would happen whenever I come in to judge the souls’ fate, so there’s no need to switch the lights on.

For extra precaution, I closed the shades, since I almost got caught by Grouse. Sure, he didn’t see me what he claims to be a “sorcery,” but he was close to finding out my secret. I wanted to call the police on him, but Nana told me Grouse and his father were the most likable citizens in the county so, yes, it was impossible. Plus, they’re wealthy, so the police in our province were giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Why are these people so damn clueless?

As I placed the remaining bottled souls on my desk, I pulled out both the scale and feather. No one knew that weighing of the heart remained alive, considering it was the belief in Ancient Egypt. Even though their faith diminished, it remains. Who knew my family had kept this part of the ritual alive when they first told me.

But instead of people’s hearts, we use their souls to determine their fate. My family and I believed it was morally right. Though, for some reason, I don’t understand why us when I’ve been told it’s God’s job. For so long, I’ve thought about that, but I’ve guessed God needed extra help.
