Kazmera's grandfather murders her parents & orders her, a shadow witch, to marry light witch Edan for a false peace. To save her kingdom from her grandfather’s totalitarian regime & impending war, Kazmera & Edan form a fragile alliance while facing their inner struggles. #A #Q #FR #OWN #QuestPit

A chibi commission for BETWEEN THE SUN AND MOON by Sasha Kielman by Afterblossom art! Background: A palace in blue and purple marble with yellow twinkling lights and cherry blossom branches. A man with brown skin, black hair, and a beard dressed as a knight with a gray cape kneels before a woman. She has pale skin and rosy cheeks, brown hair curled into a braid, a golden crown, and a black dress with golden detailing.

Fighting mental and chronic illnesses and trauma while being heirs to thrones is burdensome enough. But for powerful witches Kazmera and Edan, learning to trust each other despite their arranged marriage, peoples’ enmity, and an impending war is the true test. #A #RF #Q #LGBT #MH #OWN #QuestPit

A trope map graphic for BETWEEN THE SUN AND MOON by Sasha Kielman, featuring art by @winterofherdiscontent. A black background with art positioned as the book cover. White and golden yellow text and arrows pointing to: enemies to lovers, arranged marriage, elemental magic, slide to pitch, adult romantasy (95,000 words), mental and chronic illness and queer representation.

BETWEEN THE SUN AND MOON Forced into an arranged marriage as a fragile peace treaty, two powerful witches must learn to trust each other in order to prevent war across their Realms. But will their love be enough to stop a war? Perfect for fans of The Hurricane Wars and The Bridge Kingdom, BETWEEN THE SUN AND MOON is a critique of authoritarianism and a demonstration of the power of love in all its forms, recognizing that while not all illnesses can be healed, they can be managed with care. @SashaKielman

It's not much, but I'm really happy with what I have down so far for #StoryADayMay! (And also feeling very Appalachian.)

Darkness descended over the bog as the night took its course, the summer solstice dissipating like dew in the morning in the valley. A hazy twilight fell, lightning bugs glowing and flittering about, the sounds of drinking and dancing and laughter bound to last longer than the sunlight. They didn’t have much, but they had each other.

I’m definitely a perfectionist who line edits as I go! And here’s a 9 step plot dot I did a few years ago (I still haven’t written this book yet unfortunately) as an example for you! It’s the one that seems to stick in my brain and work for me!
