Taking off for the weekend… Happy Friday! #5amWritersClub

K.W. Bernard@kwbernard· May 11

An early winter and conflicts with the Drurga force Dagmar and her brothers to do what they do best—slaughter and pillage in southern lands. But an insidious monster guards the village they raid. One who drains his victims’ strength with a caress. A single touch brings Dagmar to her knees, and instead of granting her an honorable death, he gifts her a collar—then tethers her to his bed.

Fortunately, it takes more than a leash to tame a Northland warrior. The infuriating monster will regret making her his pet. Because she’s not about to sate his wicked appetites willingly—no matter how willing he is to sate hers.

It’s my indie anniversary! A year ago, l republished Drained on my own. There’s still been plenty of tears but far fewer than when someone else owned Sarlona and Benton’s story. So, I’m celebrating! #IndieApril #DarkFantasy #DarkRomantasy #FantasyHorror #WritingCommunity

No romance this week. But there was a spark involved. Prompt: box #FridaySpark #DarkFantasy #DarkRomantasy #MonsterFantasy #FantasyHorror

Her daughter was in a little
oak box...
It took all Dagmar's focus to picture the young woman as anything but a burning,
shrieking husk. To see her face, soft and smiling, eyes sparkling like the sea.
Dagmar had stolen so many
smiles from her.

Happy Monday! Lots of editing left to do, but I’m getting excited for Daughter of the Northern Night, so I thought I’d share a mood board. #5amWritersClub #DarkRomance #DarkRomantasy #MonsterRomance

Mood board with electric fingertips, longship beached in a fjord, seal baring its teeth, chain, battle axe, warrior with a glowing eye, bloody growing woman.
