All That Glitters by S.L. Dove Cooper

The Shimmering Prayer of Sûkiurâq by S.L. Dove Cooper

"Oibe Ekêmai stomped on the ground to get some warmth into thaes legs and feet. All thae accomplished was a reminder of how badly thaes muscles ached from the forty-minute hike that had taken thae from thaes home to this tiny, overcrowded, canopied courtyard."

The Archmage's Apprentice 1 & 2 by S.L. Dove Cooper

"The Glamour of Hope
Ieësalwin has a presentation coming up. It'll only determine dees whole future, no big deal. With anxiety and bad (academic) experiences crowding dees mind, the pressure may prove too much for the young apprentice mage.

Can dees mentor (and her queerplatonic partner) save Ieësalwin from dees own fears and keep dej from running away, again?"

"The Charm of Connection
Ieësalwin and dejs found family are off traipsing along the Chaos Spire, a mountain where magic won't respond how it ought, to deal with some pesky chimaera. Their efforts get derailed, however, when they discover a baby drakeliet finds its way into their tents.

As if a trek up dangerous mountains and unexpected baby dragons aren't enough, Ieësalwin also finds deesself with unexpected attractions dej'd rather not be dealing with. They were confusing enough the last time!"

Throw a (digital) dart! See what cover you end up with (and if it appeals, check it out and see if it's a book you'd like). Have a bit of fun with vastly different cover types. All are some flavour of SFF. Go forth, have fun with my digital dart throwing idea! payhip.com/dovelynnwriter
