diary of a wannabe writer

published April 28th, 2022 genre fantasy, na, paranormal, romance, ya Goodreads || Amazon giveaway a Rafflecopter giveaway synopsis SECRECY IS SAFETY. SISTERHOOD IS EVERYTHING. Seventeen-year-old Glacia didn’t plan to track a kidnapper, stick a middle finger to the government, and fall into a forbidden summer fling. This is simply what happens when you’re the resident odd girl out, in a shoal of all-female mermaids whose values are a little cracked. Or a lot cracked, if you consider government-endorsed murder and the seizure of male infants to be an issue. When society rules, family, and romance collide, Glacia fights back the best way she knows how: by taking the matter into her own combat-trained hands and kicking some tail. The problem is, no amount of training can prepare Glacia for the crime circle she discovers, secrets she unveils, and human guy she can’t get out of her head. Glacia finds herself at a crossroads where she must decide whose rules to follow. Who she can trust. An

series Fae Games #1 number of pages 289 published May 26th 2020 by Tempest Press genre urban fantasy, paranormal, fae, ya rating🖤 🖤 🖤 🖤 cover 🖤 🖤 🖤 🖤 🖤 Jesse's parents are the best faerie hunters in New York. She is just living a normal life. Then one-night parents don't come home from the job and just disappear. She is determined to find them and enter the world of bounty hunters. Overcoming disbelief and having to carve her own path. There is something more at play than she realizes at first. Along the way, she encounters many faes, and makes enemies, but also friends. There is romance, but it's not the main plot. It's very well written, the story is intense and you just have to keep on reading. My favourite part of the story is the brother-sister relationship. She is very protective and caring towards her younger brother (he is fae and adopted). It's a good start to a series and I'm excited to read more. :) Goodreads || Amazon happy reading, anie

Became the starting quarterback for an NFL team – check. Secured a multi-million-dollar contract – check. Moved to LA and lived the glamorous life – check. What could possibly cause me any issues? Oh yeah, one more thing. I’m gay. I was outed a couple of years ago to my former team and my family, but it hasn’t been made public knowledge yet. Well, that is, until now. I’ll be known as the first LGBTQ+ active player in the league’s history. And if I stick to the conditions of my contract, it won’t be a problem. The thing is, I’m not really a guy known for playing by the rules. Most people think of my personality as the three B’s: bold, brash, and blunt. My mouth has gotten me into more predicaments than I can count. Even my best friends have told me I

series Mythics #1 number of pages 401 published March 15th, 2022 genre ya, fantasy Goodreads || Amazon Malcom's life was always protected with secrets. And when the truth comes out, she finds herself in a totally different world. Because of her heritage, her life is threatened. Andrew has been on the run for a long time and now he finds himself in a whole another realm, where he might find answers to his troubles. My favourite thing about the book was the magical structure, the way the world was set up and explained. It made total sense and it was quite interesting. The notion, that magical beings, Mythics were right with humans, right from the start, following parallel paths, has diverged quite a lot lately, it is a very compelling one.  While the build-up was quite long, it provided a great backdrop for the story. The story has many twists and turns, it's intense and I never knew what will happen next. While I liked the idea behind the story, I found the storyline quite conf

I hope you like it here, because there’s no leaving the small western town that’s more theme park than authentic. Once you walk through the portal, you’re stuck as a boot heel in a half foot of mud.
