That is Angel making her Twitter debut with a box of my books.

We've been talking about non โtraditional epic fantasyโ books this morning. I think a lot of us fall into that category.
Mine definitely does. Epic fantasy with an all female cast, lots of talking, and not so much action.

I don't know about ever indie author, but there was nothing easy about my journey. We, my wife and I, did everything that a trad publisher has a team to do.
Writing, editing, formatting, recording the audio book, uploading and promoting.
Nothing easy here.
Now Jodi Picoult is over on Tiktok telling authors not to self pub because trad pub rewards those who don't choose "the easy way out." Can we stop with the ridiculous bookish hot takes now?? Please??
Iโm 100% sure Iโve sold more books by other authors via my recs & reviews than I have of my own books and you know what? Iโm really happy about that actually.

Does anyone have a favorite word or phrase?
Mine is 'above the timberline'.
Don't know why, just hits me in just the right way. So a very important scene in my first book happens above the timberline. ๐

Three non-writer facts about me:
1: I grew up on a hippy commune in the middle of the woods of western PA.
2: My high school mascot was a gremlin.
3: We sent out our wedding invitations on April 1st.
Quick, whatโs the one random pop culture reference you have in your book?
Canin's goodbye letter in book 2 is my spin on 'The Highwayman' poem that I saw in Anne of Green Gables.

Got a great message from a reader yesterday. She just finished book 2 and loved it. Saw improvement in my writing (part of that is editing, thank my wife) and was so happy to have followed me on my journey.

You are my partner in everything, from travel, to food, to my writing.
You are the inspiration for every romantic scene I write.
Love you Dear.

@FantasyIndies
In a world where Fairies and Humans live in a shaky peace, Talia (Heir to the Fairy Realm) becomes pregnant by Bastile (Heir to the Human Realm). Talia, her 8 Ladies, & their 9 soldier guards must flee the Fairy capital to escape the bigotry of The Three Sisters (Talia's aunts).
#FantasyIndiesJune
Favorite side characters.
All of them are great and I love them all in different ways.
Maybe right now it would be the Healer of the Exile Forest. She's got this snarky sense of humor and absolute commitment to keeping her people safe and healthy.
#FantasyIndiesJune
What inspired me to start writing?
As a child, I don't really know. I just did. I wrote this horribly derivative fantasy novel and just kept writing.
In 2019, after not writing since college, I got the idea: What if Maleficent was Aurora's mother....

Sometimes all we can see in our writing is the faults (especially in our WIP) or what we could have done differently.
Take a moment to unapologetically love our writing and characters.
We've written books! Not everyone can say that.
Celebrate!

The Exile Forest is all about family. Found family, blood family, adopted family; Mothers finding a safe place to raise their children, people taking in abandoned children, children being raised to be part of the Forest community.

Romantic Tropes
My favorite one is fated love, soul or spirit mates. A couple who keeps finding each other across the years and multiple lives.
I've been obsessed with the idea of sundered spirits, two parts of the same whole who need to be together.

You got this.
That plot hole, you'll figure it out.
That chapter you're not happy with, set it aside. Move on. Come back to it.
You are a writer, sometimes that means giving things time to cook in your subconscious.
It's okay.
