This cracks me up! I definitely feel like my book "mood" changes with the seasons. I can't think of any genres I would consider a "beach read" other than a rom-com, though. Still, I have plenty of those I haven't read yet. I must be waiting for a trip to the beach. 🤣

Hello Roguelings!

I know Rockhavn is not a character per se, but as much settings do, it plays a huge role in the Darkborn world. This is where they wake after they are turned. These are the people they are sworn to protect AND where they have to learn about themselves... and their hunger.

It makes for an interesting dynamic as the Darkborn struggle to understand what they have become, and as the saga moves through three books, it's the backbone of the story - where relationships are developed and a person's character is tested. It's the warm hearth and heart of the Darkborn's world, and even when they are pull to different parts of the realm this is where they already return. The village is a patchwork of scars and war and famine and love and resilience as much as the characters who live there. 

I can't wait for you to visit!

Sometime I am pleasantly surprised with rough drafts, but other times it can be cringe-worthy. For me, the hardest part is the rough draft, so I don't "take my time" with it, fearing I'll lose focus and won't get the words down. My early drafts are definitely sloppier compared to what readers get for the final story.

This is real life, only usually SOB while writing character deaths... like UGLY cry. Hahahaha.
