One thing about my mc’s and side characters is that I didn’t want them to be generic. They all have their own flavor.

My MMC in book 1 is an Asian guy from Richmond with a southern Virginia accent. Influenced by what I know and grew up with as a Virginian. And it’s really fun to write him in dialogue, especially since it’s a fantasy series 😆

QotD: We are halfway through the month, how's your reading going so far? Hola bookstagram! I wasn't sure what to take pictures of this month, so I asked my friends to pick a number between 1 and 48 and I would take a pic of that book in my TBR. This is one of them hehe. Go ahead and swipe so you can see what it's about and check out the first page. - It's the end of the week, and I got hit with the cold. Perfect. At least, unlike my poor hubby, I can bounce back quickly, so I'm not worried, but kiddo hear got sick too, but also got a fever that spiked a few times. We were getting worried that we may have to do a hospital visit, but after two days, we got it under control and kiddo is running around like nothing is wrong haha! I love the rugrat. Anyway, how's your week been? Got anything done that you wanted done? I'm steadily getting through VatCoY and I'm catching up on my chibi drawings. I have an ebook waiting on the wing that I'm meant to start, just haven't yet. That's it, nothing major happened or going on. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have another chill weekend. You all have a safe one ok, see you Monday.

Join is today as we discuss #AfricaRisen!! 445PM to 5PM Pregame with @isisasare and @brisbookish!!! 5PM to 6PM @shereereneethomas, @authorzknight, and @penprince gives us the behind the scenes on editing Africa Risen! Reposted from @seahorsestories 🚀Book Tour and Review🚀 Thank you so much to @tordotcompub, @shereereneethomas, @penprice, and @authorzknight for providing the Weirdos and I from @b2weird with finished copies of Africa Risen! I'm so glad we could do a tour for this beautiful story collection. Africa Risen is a speculative fiction collection full of beautifully written stories by BIPOC authors! As with any short story collection, there were certain stories I enjoyed more than others, but I really loved this collection overall. There was only one author I was already familiar with going into Africa Risen, so this book introduced me to quite a few new-to-me writers that I will definitely be keeping an eye out for! Here are some VERY brief and honestly insufficient descriptions of a few of my favorite stories from Africa Risen: "March Magic" by WC Dunlap: A group of witches gather to conjure a dream into reality.  "IRL" by Steven Barnes: A virtual reality kingpin burns his digital empire to the ground to revenge an IRL attack on his family.  "Rear Mirror" by Nuzo Onoh: A group of priests face off against the spirit of a dead woman who does not want to be cremated.  "The Sugar Mill" by Tobias B. Buckell: A real estate agent tries to sell a former sugar mill but is haunted by the ghosts of those who died there.  "Ghost Ship" by Tananarive Due: A woman smuggling an illegal cat onto a ship finds that getting caught with the pet is the least of her worries during the voyage. This is only a few of the stories I loved! There were some I couldn't even begin to try describing in one sentence. Africa Risen is available now!

I'm not a bad person for wanting a life different than what's expected of me. I'm not a bad person for wanting to pursue something I love. I'm not a bad person for wanting. But I feel like I am. Because I don't want to let them down. I want them to look at me with love and pride. Not disappointment.
