Changeling Book Trailer

It's been a long time since I've had access to my main computer and, along with it, my video editing software. But this evening I couldn't resist the urge to put together a Book Trailer for Changeling.

March 16th is the 1 year anniversary of Changeling's Release, and I may or may not have something special up my sleeve...

For now, enjoy this brief glimpse into the world of Changeling ^_^

Fey go missing in the mortal realm. Everyone knows that. When Lizzy's mother is the next to vanish she's expected to grieve and move on. Instead Lizzy wants to find out what happened, but the answers she seeks can't be found in the fey realm of Arbaon. With the help of her best friend, Booker Reed, Lizzy's determined to retrace her mother's final steps... straight through an illegal portal and into the mortal realm. Whatever leads she expected to find, it wasn't an academy of vampires, and a world stalked by their rabid cousins, the kavians. Forced to rely on the vampires for protection, and secluded away behind the high walls of Speculo School, it quickly becomes clear not everyone is pleased with Lizzy and Booker's investigation. With danger building the further they dig, the two fey need to decide if the closure they seek is worth risking their lives for. But the longer they remain amongst the vampires, the more Lizzy begins to suspect that her answers instead lie with the deadly kavians.

"It seems like a new Silicon Valley startup could change the face of the battery industry forever by utilizing 3D printers to print solid-state batteries.

Solid-state batteries have advantages over lithium-ion because they aren’t flammable, they’re more easily recycled, work in extreme cold, and have greater energy density.

Solid-state batteries have traditionally been difficult to machine manufacture. But by using 3D printing arrays filled with powder, Sakuu systems can make these batteries not only using 40% less material, but in almost any shape the customer might want.

An electric bike could be powered by a battery that hugs a section of the central chassis, or a smartphone’s battery could run all the way around the frame of a circuit board. These unorthodox shapes are just one of the many advantages that Sakuu believe they can offer.

“Many people have built cells in the lab, but they have not been able to scale,” Sakuu CEO and founder Robert Bagheri told Fast Company. “Our vision started with that scalability in mind.”

The array, known as a Kavian, is much smaller than the traditional, “roll to roll” battery manufacturing methods, and because the powder loaded into the 3D printers can be extremely precise, there’s a 40% reduction in materials usage—a huge cost savings over competitors.

The batteries they print can be charged to 80% in just 15 minutes.

Because they can be printed in any shape, all kinds of clever innovations are possible, in all kinds of industries from e-mobility products to wearables and small devices. The company is even working with an aviation company that wants solid-state batteries for their aircraft with holes through the middle of it to help with heat management."

Je n'ai jamais aimé à moitié. Il n'y a pas de petit et de grand amour, selon moi. Il y a l'amour ou pas l'amour...Il y a des histoires courtes ou celles qui durent, mais ce sont toutes des histoires d'amour.

Happy 11th monthiversary to the love of my life, Darla Clementine.

It's hard to believe that it's been almost a year since we started this journey together. I'm grateful for every moment we've shared, and I'm excited for all the adventures yet to come.

You bring so much joy and light into my life, and I can't imagine a day without you by my side. You make me laugh, you inspire me to be my best self, and you love me unconditionally. I feel so lucky to have you in my life.

As we celebrate this special day, I want you to know that you mean the world to me. You are my best friend, my soulmate, and my everything. I promise to always cherish you, to support you, and to love you with all my heart.

I'm sorry because I often make you feel sad or even made you cry, I often make you upset, annoyed, mad, and others. Especially nowadays. I really really sorry for that...

Thank you for being the most amazing girlfriend in the world, I'm grateful to have you. Here's to many more months of love, laughter, and happiness together.

Your boyfriend,

Kavian.

The Fey Touched Trilogy

Work In Progress Wednesday; Most Recent Lines

"Lizzy Hail," Andric murmured softly, "the five-foot-three bundle of stubbornness and determination. The young woman who won't back down from anything. Not even a rabid kavian. Not even when I've spent weeks teaching her how to run from one. Whose telekinesis was strong enough to protect herself and her friend."

Carefully Lizzy opened her eyes, and turned to look at Andric. He'd moved even closer, and was now leaning one shoulder against the tree she had her back pressed against, staring down at her with an infinitely gentle expression that made her heart slam against her chest.

"What are you doing?" she asked softly, and the corners of his mouth twitched up into a familiar flash of a smile.

"I'm being honest with you," he answered gently.

🦋 and 🐱

I answered

🐱 - What are the animals like? Pets? Local fauna?

This ask applies best to Heralds of Rhimn, because Mindhive is a relatively tame future Earth in terms of animals (for now), and there are no animals in The Playwright's pocket dimension in Toybox.

Rhimn has a lot of weird animals on it. Some of them are animals from before the Immortal Reckoning, when the gods were more able to mess around with things using magic. Others are a result of the wild magic that clings to the world in the wake of the god's deaths.

Notable littul creaturs include the ashen phoenix, giant deer, jewel-like beetles, wyvern, owlcats, kvarhev (a kind of wingless dragon), and Kavian direwolves.

I have some pictures of the latter two, since they're used for transportation!

Also, there's a court of fey who can turn into direwolves. They're called wyfwolves. It's fun.

#thanks for the ask! #writeblr #ask game #undescribed images #sorry about dumping my art out again #i can never get enough of showing off my funky little creatures

A blorbo from your stories you want to talk about?

I could talk about all of them endlessly, but I have to pick just one or this message will be even more ridiculously long than it already is.

Nameer Khatri is the character in Changeling that has surprised me the most. I needed a "best friend" for my male lead, Andric Roche, to bounce off.

Nameer and Andric have been friends forever, grew up together, and I expected him to be similar to Andric. Serious, and studious, since they're both skilled kavian hunters... but no.

He's a taunting, teasing, practical joker, and he rarely gives Andric a moment's peace.

It's hilarious, and perfect, and he's so hard to write because I am not that funny!

5/6

I love Nameer even more than I did with the excerpt :D ah, the difficulties of having to write a character who is better at something than you are. I've been there. but he sounds like a delight to write!
