Look up in the aethernet!
It's #Fantasy, It's #ScienceFiction, It's #TempestBlades (book series).
Now with a 3rd book about to be released which means 50% more hijinks, drama, hope, magick, adventure, and sentient swords.
Might include a theme park & a space station

My brain just told me last night to discard my early plans for the first half of the last #tempestblades book and gave me a new script that is more emotionally gut-punching. If I follow it will be hell to fit with the current continuity and a rollercoaster for the characters.
I guess once you hit rock bottom the only way left is up.
High-level strategic planning by my characters:
"...there was no point in infiltrating a fortress when they are expecting you. What they don’t expect is a guy, wearing a blatantly fake mustache & a delivery service cap, holding a pizza box in 1 hand while knocking on the door."
You know how your characters have a life outside the pages that impact the story in the actual book? Well, Gaby, one of my MCs, decided to form a band, and release a rock album, with cover and all. And said cover will be included in the Magick of Chaos novel (that you can preorder here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1951122607)

New(ish) character teaser. Kasumi’s design teaser for the back cover of my novel “Tempest Blades: The Magick of Chaos”. Art by @salvadorvelazquez.art Character concept by me.
Because the approach for the covers of my books is to create a whole wrap around art piece that can work as wallpaper or print as well. Salvador Velázquez and I don’t do things half measures.#tempestblades #fantasyliterature #fantasybooks #litrpg #bookstodon #artbyhumans #writersofmastodon
@itgodontpanic “Bailey’s books” section reviews “#TempestBlades: The Cursed Titans” along other really interesting books. Please give it a listen, worth you time. #writingcommuity #bookstodon #fantasy #hopepunk
I like the concept of “hopepunk heroes”. I might use it from now on. 🤔
Absolutely loved Wednesday the series and the character (although still not fond of these subdued Gomez and Morticia).
And Jenna Ortega became my favorite casting for my Samantha character from #TempestBlades. Which would also make Emma Myers the best choice for Gaby (given that the characters are close in age).
