Can u tell me more abt roitlet ? Also where do you get the names for ur novels do they have any special meanings
ca;lskjdf sure !! altho if you have any specific questions pls let me know 
the names are just ... something notable about the novels in french haha like anges is named because 1. i’ve nicknamed favourite character ange, and 2. most of the main cast has an angel name, and so the novel gets called anges 
noire gets named because despite the fact that aislinn is decidedly the “main” character, shiro also spends a lot of time narrating and his last name noire is already in french, so it’s easily notablealso shiro is one of the first characters i’ve ever created, and while he’s been changed and modified a lot, he still has a really special place in my heart, so noire 
roitelet gets it’s name from wren, who is our main narrator because --although he’s a lot like briar in the sense that he can be a bit of an unreliable narrator-- he has a knack for breaking the fourth wall; roitelet was the closest translation i could get for wren (who is in fact named after the bird, carolina wrens specifically)
so uh roitelet and it’s prequel are both based off of dreams i’ve had before
roitelet actually hasn’t been written yet, and it’s the newest novel on my drawing board, so there are a lot of kinks i haven’t been able to work out yet like i have with anges and noire
this november i’ll get a first draft down and start fine tuning things 
but uh, canonically, wren dies at one point which has gotta be level 5+ friendship to unlock my tragic backstory origins but which i think is neat none the less because necromancer, he also has a white cat named pom
in the very very very beginning, declan didn’t know he was a selkie and it was a major point of conflict, but that has since been scrapped and now the major point of conflict with him is that while he’s a selkie and he knows, he doesn't care for magic at all, he is in fact like ten different kinds of averse to it actually 
a few of the more colourful cast members are isabel, a very sullen siren runt, and herself appointed guardian seth, a well meaning but immature incubus; half-mer lorcan who gets roped into this mess just by looking for some place to call home; and coven leader sybil who also has a knack for breaking the fourth wall
