I can tell that you’ve gone on far longer than most people would. I can tell you that you’ve been extraordinarily courageous – don’t make that face: you have been; you are – and I can tell you that I can’t imagine what you’ve been suffering.

I have noticed in all my writings in the past, and now that I have only been writing female characters, and I’ve realized that their is o much more then male x female. Don’t get me wrong or misunderstood- I’ll still write that, but I am going to branch out more, because I don’t really see how it’s fair to just write female x male when they’re some boys that like these characters. And I did a Gender Neutral one just for fun and posted it on accident.

I’m not kidding. I really did. I expected no one to read it because to me, I thought it sucked. But I guess you all loved it! And I appreciate it! All of my followers and commenters are my faves even tho I don’t know you. Please give me suggestions and I’ll tag you along!

But I came in here to say, I will branch out- I’m not going to just do the standard. ✌️

Less than TWO WEEKS until my book The Winding comes out! 

And that’s not the only exciting news: the sequel, The Ticking, is officially on the way! 

Just ONE WEEK until The Winding comes out!

Hi! I wrote a book! If you like fantasy, mysteries, snarky magicians and lots of queer characters, it might be one for you!!

It’s not out yet, but it’s well on its way and I’m very excited! The Winding is the first book in an urban fantasy series, set to be published by the lovely folks at Literary Wanderlust. For now you can keep an eye out here and on aliiveswrites on Instagram for updates.

But what is The Winding about?

Set in the city-state of Frettchen, one of the central powers of the Lower Lands, the story follows Mikalai Gloucester, a disgraced former bodyguard. For the past six months, Gloucester has been in prison for an unknown crime he can’t remember committing. A chance at freedom and finding out the truth arises, but it comes at the cost of working for the very man who locked him up in the first place. Desperate times call for desperate measures, however, and soon Gloucester finds himself on the hunt for a would-be assassin. The investigation quickly goes awry and Gloucester is tossed down a rabbit hole of magic, mayhem and mysterious immortal beings. Before long it’s more than just his freedom on the line, but the future of an entire city and everyone in it.

“You want to save the life of the guy [...] who probably wants you dead... who you talk about like thinking of him leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Gloucester, has anyone ever told you that you’re a little weird?”

6 DAYS until The Winding is out and you get to meet Mikalai Gloucester!

‘“True, true,” Denken said, his voice a pleasant rumble, like the drone of bumblebees in a garden. It was difficult to resist. It made Gloucester want to close his eyes, relax his mind, and just listen--’

Mikalai Gloucester doesn’t believe in gods. Until the day one nearly gets him killed, and magic turns his life upside down…

Gloucester, once a bodyguard to the high minister of Frettchen, was imprisoned for a crime he doesn’t remember committing. But when someone attempts to assassinate the minister, he is set free in exchange for tracking down the culprit before they try again.

During his investigation, a magical encounter puts his life in peril, and he is forced to seek refuge with Zane Zephyr, a vivacious clockmaker with connections to the world of the supernatural. As Gloucester and Zane dig deeper into the minister’s secrets, they become entangled in the mystery of a missing demigod known as the Gambler.

Faced with spells, bombs, and powerful beings hellbent on revenge, he and Zane must work together to find the Gambler and save the high minister—or risk the fall of Frettchen.

My book has been out for a few months now, which is still a little hard to wrap my mind around. If it sounds like something you might be interested in, please consider ordering a copy! If you’re in the States, you can order it directly from Literary Wanderlust’s website. If you’re from outside the US like me, you can always check if it’s available through your local indie bookshop if you have one or order the ebook.

And if you can, please spread the word! I’m really proud of this book and would really love to share it with you!

'Two weeks have passed since Denken, a vicious demigod with the power to manipulate human thought, disappeared in the wake of a shocking confrontation. Unleashed upon the city of Frettchen, his magic sows fear and paranoia into the minds of all.

Worse, a horde of nightmarish creatures once locked safely away in Denken’s pocket dimension now roam free. Though Mikalai Gloucester has no magic of his own, he is determined to fight the beasts alongside his new friends, a motley band of magicians, scientists, and unusual beings.

Distrust threatens to tear them apart, but the group must work together to save one of their own and discover Denken’s plan for the city. It’s a race against the ticking clock to stop him before he destroys Frettchen for good.'
