Since we were talking about community today…

One of the aspects of my latest release, Little Wolf and the Witch, is about finding community — Feilan, the eponymous Little Wolf of the title, has been exiled from his (Viking-like) community, while Remy, the eponymous Witch, has been metaphorically exiled (ostracised) from his.

They find each other (…eventually, it’s enemies-to-lovers), fight monsters of various sorts, and pull together their own community in the process.

I don't actually have anything to promote. However, I have a spot on my website footer for sale.

Belated self-promo! What writing, links or media do you wish to share with the #Writephant community?

My latest release is Little Wolf and the Witch, a Viking-inspired fake-married to the barbarian, only one bed, monster hunt m/m fantasy romance.

Blurb:

After being exiled in his youth, Feilan has earned a comfortable, complacent life in the Siftar trading post. He has very little to worry about…

…aside from a would-be emperor with covetous eyes on Siftar’s trade network, the Vaer raiders who insist on camping nearby every summer, the warrior who got him exiled all those years ago – and the jolterhead who thinks it’s perfectly reasonable to walk the new child-queen of Seven Hills into the raiders’ camp to beg for help.

Renart is young Queen Adeline’s uncle, and he’s trying to save her from a dangerous regency. They desperately need champions for a monster hunt, and Renart is not exactly grateful to Feilan for diverting them for their own safety.

He’s very grateful to Feilan for falling for the trick he tries next…

Available widely, and on Kobo Plus and Everand, as well as Hoopla or by request through your library, and in print. Buy direct or find universal links here:

#Writephant #self-promo We’re nearing the end of the live portion of the chat, which means it’s self-promotion time! Feel free to link to your author site, book, etc!

#writephant Q4 Do you have any summer submission or publishing plans? Special marketing or promotion for your work?

Honestly I think I'm going to read @charliejane 's book Never Say You Can't Survive and take insight from that. The essays have been comforting about emotional recovery and using stories as a form of catharsis. There's been too much disruption from the "everything else" side.

#writephant Q2 What writing goals are you excited to dive into this summer?

Despite being a huge industry, comic artists don't have a union in the United States. There are talks in Japan of forming one for manga artists so they receive fair compensation for the works they provide and health insurance for strain-related injuries. How would you form a union for your creative industry of choice if one doesn't exist already?
