My street team picked a scene from The Oracle’s Journey for me to draw. So here are Lhoris and Ozanna in their brief stint as enemies. Her expression cracks me up every time! #Romantasy #fantasyromance #book #characterart

I generally don’t share art until it’s finished, but the facial expressions on this pair are killin’ me. 🤣🤣🤣 Oz is big mad while Lhoris is big annoyed. It’s from a scene in my fantasy romance novel, The Oracle’s Journey.

CHAPTER I
EVERY GOOD ADVENTURE
STARTS IN A TAVERN
OZANNA
If Arlo didn't shut his mouth, I was going to climb over the bar, shove my money down his throat, and take the change out of his ass. He was just standing there, chatting away with another customer an infuriatingly easy smile deepening the lines of his aged face while I flailed and failed to get his attention. But it wasn't until the third I'll be with you soon gesture that I hauled myself up on the stool-rung to hurl a copper at him. And that's when my gaze fell upon the tip boxes.
There were four of them, small and wooden, secured to the wall behind the bar, one for each of his regular tavern maids. Including one for his wife, Tabi, who was the cook. Since tips were easily stolen from the tables, it was Arlo's policy to collect them along with payment and place the money in the proper box. And from my elevation, I could see each name painted on the lid above the coin slot.

He sighed and peered at me thought-fully, offering up a sheepish little grin that made his eyes sparkle. "You've bewitched me, Ozanna. When I look at you, I see the afternoon sun in an autumn forest. Feel the warmth of its light on my face and the promise of our life to come-grown from the fertile depths of your eyes, shielded by the fierceness of your spirit, and nourished by the veiled gentleness of your heart." He cradled my face in his hands, resting his forehead against mine, and closed his eyes. "Not a day goes by that I don't recall the scent of your ecstasy, the tender brush of your fingers against my skin ..." He shuddered and nuzzled my nose with his own. "... the taste of my seed on your lips ... I'm possessed by you; haunted by every kiss and lingering glance..."
I tipped my chin and pressed my lips against his, unable to bear more of his words or the intensity of the feelings they stirred in my chest. "I love you," I murmured with a gasp before kissing him again. "I love you I love you I love you.
We clung to each other and savored the moment, my fingers combing through the hair that hung against his cheek while he held me tight.

Please enjoy my chocolate croissant baking in the window and my ... dog (? Maybe bat idk anymore 🤷🏼‍♀️ ) doing her rug impression.

Yes, he's naked. He's hot. But what I'm really proud of is that I FINALLY got his face! His kind eyes, the smile is a lil stiff, but it's more Lhoris than anything else I've managed. #romantasy #darkelf

M.M. Rees@mm-rees· Apr 1

Well, I definitely MEANT to type "published," but as an indie author, it's also not *wrong.* 😅😅

Image of a Google doc, the line asks "Publisher name or self published"
I butchered the spelling and autocorrect filled it as "self punished."

Big feelings in the group chat today. 🤣🤣🤣

Text exchange.

Person 1: Finished book one
That ending...at like 4am this morning when i had no one to yell at!
Person 2: The struggle is real. I may have yelled too.
Person 1:Glad im not alone haha
Person 2: I was glad I had book two right there
Person 1: Yes! If I had to wait on book two id be yelling more

Just dropping a lil character art in process. (Don't mind the creepy model. He's just back there giving me shadow and light now.) Really happy to finally have a smile on his face. #romantasy #characterart

This is my "dog." I think she's actually part bat, or maybe muppet. The dna test said Australian Cattle Dog, Beagle, and Great Pyrenees with a dash of lab, but I'm skeptical. 🤣🤣🤣

I'm trying to find all the readers boycotting Amazon now that my book is wide. The struggle is real! 😅 *weeps in indie romantasy author*

Toothless the dragon tryin to dance for a potential mate , the words "me trying to talk up my books" over him.
The potential mate looking at him like he's nuts labeled "readers." Hiccup giving him a thumbs up of encouragement from the side labeled "author friends."

What if the 🌶️ is her unshackling his nature while embracing her own? Lhoris is nothing but ashamed of his heritage and instincts, but Ozanna is the embodiment of freedom. #Writesky #romantasy

“Oh, it’s a romantasy? Lemme guess, he’s a broody shadow daddy, right?” Nope, he's a slightly anxious dark elf that kinda sucks at summoning shadows, BUT he's a cinnamon roll, master swordsman, who fuks like a demon.

It's hard to pick a comparable title for The Oracle’s Journey duet. It's funny and whimsical but also has moments of horror. It's spicy sweet romance with truly vile villains. #romantasy #darkfantasy #darkelf
