Copied from my goodreads post, but with self indulgent pics of Grandmaster Ludi (aka, Ludi Lin) 😅
It's my birthday, folks, which means you're all required to read this (free) book ---> https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B...
Ok, I'm kidding, but... I just booked a promo for that book and wondered why no one ever really read it (aside from a few brave souls on Google https://play.google.com/store/books/d...). Does the cover suck? Description sucks? I suck? Something MUST suck, right? lol
Whatever the case may be, I'm not sad for myself, but for my good friend, Jenni, who wrote a beautiful poem for me for that book. She's an actual cancer survivor, surviving 7 recurring battles with cancer (I shit you not). If you want to skip the book and just read her poem, it's in chapter 7.
Anyway... happy birthday to me! :D I was able to overcome the burnout I mentioned in my previous post here. I'm currently working on a new School for Spirits book. I've signed on one beta reader (hey, Vale!) but if anyone else would be interested in beta-ing that series, hit me with a message. I'm always worried that my new School for Spirits ideas will conflict with the old. Apart from those worries, it's going really well so far.
Because burnout has ended, I will also be releasing a new series next month. (spoiler: it has vampires and naughty princes)
I guess that's it for now. I hope you, my few followers, are doing well!
