Introducing ROTTING TREES, a 'Bezzina's Emporium of Magical Artefacts and Antiquities' novel, with FAQ

Once upon a time, I nicknamed a manuscript ‘cursenovel.’ More recently I finished it, named it Rotting Trees and, when no one I’d approached wanted to sell it, decided to publish it myself. Then I wrote this post. I do have some graphics planned to share to my social media as part of the never ending PR machine that is required of self publishing, but I thought it would be fun to have a master…

Tomorrow is the official release date for Born Andromeda! This has been a long time in the making and I'm so thrilled to be able to share this with the world. Born Andromeda is an action packed YA sci-fi adventure with a side of queer polyam romance. As an autistic author, it meant so much to be able to write a character like Andromeda. A queer, autistic princess who has agency and special interests and physical quirks. I needed a character like this as a teen, so to be able to write and publish a whole book with her at the center is so incredibly special. Featuring Space Pirates, Galactic Adventure, and Found Family!

A Few Corrections

In the news article released earlier this year, we seemingly gave away the plot of Kyodi's Great Adventure to curious readers. If you were able to read the book in spite of this, you too know that the spoiler alert was a clever pivot from the real story, a tactic that might have been used by Kyodi himself if ever found in a precarious marketing situation. (Jk, it was a textual error that had been printed before careful review...Em was nervous in his first interview and the words seemed to get a bit twisted in their retelling, so apologies to our readers for that mishap!)

Back to Kyodi.

Life seems to be fine living off the land....until it isn't. Greed really is the downfall of all things good.

Are you wondering what happened to Jon and Kyodi, following the escape?

If not, no need to read on.

If so, perhaps this first page peek into our second book in the Kyodi series can help cure a bit of curiosity.

Welcome to the shit show <3

Hello everyone! My name's Finn, and I've wanted to be an author from a very young age. In middle school, I thought up this idea with a friend about a haunted forest. Obviously, through the years, I've changed aspects of the story, rewritten the plot, and worked through characters.

The original plot was really simple, we hadn't thought any of it through aside from we wanted it to reflect us. Currently, I'm the only one working on this, so I've changed it up a lot. Essentially we had only planned for our characters, who were based on us, would be traveling to this forest behind their shared home. It was cliche, tragic, and a bit bad, but it was the first time I had really sat down and thought "this is the sort of thing I want to write".

I have no idea where I will post this new story. Wattpad seems to be an obvious, easy option, but I want more engagement than hoping it will pop off from the beginning. And I have no idea of any other free websites that offer some sort of safety towards the works of their writers.

So, for now, I think I could post little tid bits here and there, about what I've figured out, or what's being added to the story, if certain ideas change. I want people to be able to look forward to what I write, or what I can create, even if it isn't "Hazer's Forest".

The new plot is much better in my eyes. It follows college students: Charlie Reid, Bianca Walsh, and August Steele. I hope to have more things about their personalities, appearances, etc. sometime soon, but that's all for now.

I hope everyone who stumbles upon this is having a good day/night, and if you aren't, I hope it gets better. Peace out dudes <3

~ Finley (he/they) <3

Hello!

I am a new author who is working on my first book. I dont have alot of friends irl so id like to share and get feedback on my work.

Some stuff you should know about my story :p

♡ High fantasy with heavy romance elements.

♡ Multiple perspectives including those of an antagonist.

♡ a fully (i hope) fleshed out magic system

♡ A trans girl protagonist (because i've been able to find exactly 0 fantasy adventure books with a trans-fem as the love interest let alone the protagonist)

♡ Animal sidekick

♡ Smut 0_o

Basic Synopsis:

In a realm divided between those with magic and those without, a long-held grudge ignites. Seeking retribution for past wrongs, a powerful figure leads a magi uprising against non-magi society. Amidst the clash, loyalties are tested, alliances form, and a looming battle threatens to shatter the kingdom's fragile peace.

Ive always dreamed of being an author. I really enjoy fantasy books but most lack proper trans rep. I hope i can be the of the people.

When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder― much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing―not even a smear of blood―to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy? This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It's also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know...

Welcome!!

Welcome to my blog!!

This will be where you can find information about the book I'm writing, called The Kids in the Dark, which is about a group of teenagers in a post-apocolyptic setting who need to find a way to work together in order to survive in their new world.

The main characters are Elliot, Rylo, Edger, and Beth, and later on, they meet three characters named Zi, May, and Cody

This is a LGBT+ story, so all of the characters are canonically queer.

Let me know if you have any questions!
