Never thought I’d need to say this, but:
When designing book covers, be aware that a lot of teens and young adults can no longer read cursive. It’s no longer taught in a lot of US schools. I just showed a cool cover to some college students and was shocked that they couldn’t read the title.

#WritingWonders: Share art or moodboards for your WIP:

This is the best I have been able to do for book three in my series. I can’t find pictures that really match, but it’s something.

One of the things I dislike about AI art is that now when I see amazing photos I have to question if they’re real. 😭

#WordWeavers 29 How would your MC handle finding a spider in their home?

Jumhaeg would analysis the spider to see if it was in his genetic repository for arachnids before deciding whether or not to absorb it for later replication.

Erebus would gently capture the wayward spider and return it to the outdoors because their home doesn't have good prey options.

Damian, who is terrified of creepy crawlies would kill it; keeping knowledge of the deed a secret otherwise Erebus would be sad.

Got a concussion. I’m ok, but not supposed to be using screens. So, my interaction here will be less for a while. My teens are helping me post, so you may see some slightly different posts, lol. Also, had a 3 day book sale planned for 0.99, starting today, so maybe buy my book?😂

#WritingWonders: Sorry to have disappeared the last few days. The bad air from the wildfires caused a family health emergency and everyone is now ok, but I’ve been learning to make air filters and dealing with that sort of thing. Glad to be back. Missed you all.

Do I have any followers or contacts that are bat experts? If so, could I run by you a theoretical question for my sci-fi book?

Last night I had a breakthrough on edits for The Ruined. The breakthrough was personal, about why a section of it was so upsetting to me, not how to fix anything in the story.

I’m not sure how many other authors experience this emotional recoil to specific scenes, but I suspect I’m not alone...🧵

#WordWeavers: Is your antagonist more of a dragon or dragon rider?

Because my WIP is a cozy paranormal, there’s not a clear antagonist. I suppose the closest to it would be the town’s only vampire, Sunny. He’s more of a dragon rider, because he wouldn’t go into battle alone, and he craves social interactions. He’s also got no attachment to stuff, so no hoarding tendencies.

#WordWeavers: How would your MC handle finding a spider in their home?

Marissa’s cat would likely find and end it before she found it. But if she did find it, she’d safely relocate it outdoors.

Dante would likely squish it, unless it was a wolf spider, lol.

Caylor, a ghost, would wait until he had a day with lots of strength and the briefly become physical and relocate it outside. He wants a clean house, but he’s not quick to kill.
