SPOILER: Rill Lord Art As I do for every book, I've commissioned illustrations for The Rill Lord. These are from Jamie Noble. Fair warning though: these illustrations depict scenes certain to spoil key events in the book! I...

Put up a new blog post showcasing some art. ☺️ The art itself could be considered spoilers for THE RILL LORD, so consider yourself warned if you want to avoid those.

I got too excited and didn't give the most important info! This book will be 2.99 internationally after this 99 cent wide sale, so if you want a deal, check it out now 😎.

This is kind of informal, so I'm thinking, 2 weeks? Maybe longer.

I kinda think everything I write is for the love of the game? Like, I try to make my stories entertaining and meaningful to others, but only because they're entertaining and meaningful to me first. Might be why I'm releasing a revised version of a portal/epic/paranormal/urban fantasy...thing soon πŸ˜†

A blueish light shines around the book. On the right are selected review extracts. The text reads: β€œA sci-fi made by, and for, sci-fi geeks”, β€œA well-written, imaginative and original space sci-fi”, and β€œDell’s world-building talent really makes everything come to life”. Underneath the book, the text reads: β€œAvailable widely. Read free on Kobo Plus”.

After warning its makers of the return of a long-forgotten foe, an ancient satellite consciousness embarks on a galactic adventure when it is downloaded by the plucky crew of the imperial flagship.

Wishes, A Rai Ascendant Story by Angela Boord: A black cover featuring a drawing of an amber-eyed wolf looking out at the reader

1982. Magic is a thing of fairytales and fantasy, but for Tresa, it's a dangerous reality. In constant fear of the destruction even her best wishes can cause, she's been forced to live a solitary, silent life, keeping everyone at a distance to protect them. When the mysterious stranger she’s been dreaming about for years walks into the bookstore where she works, Tresa is torn between her desire to stay safe and the temptation to speak to him. He's about to turn her carefully guarded world upside down. But if she breaks through her shell, what havoc will her wishing unleash?

Just sent a 30k Rai Ascendant novella off to my copy editor and now I have to figure out what to do with myself until tomorrow?

If you're curious, the prequel short story "Wishes" is free with my newsletter!

Publishing & book distribution is geared towards the success spiral. Nobody wants to be stuck w/books that don't sell so wholesalers & retailers are reluctant to bet on stocking unknowns.

.: if you love an indie gem, spread the word. The more people who read it, the more likely it'll be discovered.

I'm almost done with revising after getting beta feedback! It's hopefully off to my copy editor by next week 🀞🀞, knock on wood!

Since it's just a novella (approaching 30k right now) it actually only has 2 characters. Any more than that and I am tempted to write chonks πŸ˜‚

It's *a* scene in my book, in the middle. Just the one that had the best use of the word of the day. The novella is 1.5 in a portal fantasy series.
