Oooh, Mastodon got an updated interface! It will take a while to get used to it, but I like the new scheme. Looks a bit sci-fi haha
#WritersCoffeeClub 8. What's your favourite food and drink combo when writing? I don't have the habit of eating while writing. Drinking, though, it's usually orange juice, though Coke is sometimes good to fire up the creativity, too! And, if it's a special scene, I'll get a glass of red wine!
#WordWeavers 7. How would you define the genre you write for a lay reader? Guess I'd say dark fantasy is a fantastic and brutal world where you don't usually have "heroes" and "villains" but characters with questionable morality, powerful magic that often corrupts the wielder, and you can […]
#WritersCoffeeClub 7. Tell me about something new you tried to do with a story With Book 2 of World Without Love, I aimed for a more slice-of-life thing. My first beta reader confirmed what I suspected: it wasn't working as well as I expected. The heart of the story is the same - it still is […]

#WordWeavers 2. How would your family react to meeting your MC if you were dating? They might not agree with the violence (though my sister and stepfather most likely would since, unlike most other Pantheonic Warriors, the Sisterhood of Hera uses it to protect the innocent, especially women […]
#WritersCoffeeClub 2: Can you write a traumatic, disturbing scene? According to my readers... most definitely 😂 And the World Without Love series has a few of those. It's not a forgiving world. No, it's often an outright sadistic place where nice people don't survive long (well, until they […]
#WordWeavers 1. Imagine you’re dating one of your MCs (not as author and character, but just people). How would you introduce them to your parents? "Everyone, this is Arianell. She's a hard-working farmer, a great musician, and has a way with animals, especially the ferocious ones. She's also […]
