Author of romantasy + space opera. Mom + secular homeschooler. Game design + UX. #indie #fantasyromance #spaceopera #hopepunk Bard/skald/artist at heart, but I play a paladin.
What do we have hiding here? An art reveal! Meet Vesta Lyarath. Princess of the Emberlands, Wielder of Steel, Mother of Firecats, Hater of Mushrooms. First of her name and all that jazz. Thank you so much @fiztaart for the gorgeous art! You can preorder FLAME IN THE FOREST now, link is in my bio.
The Emberlands. Land of fire and flame, magma and rock. Apparently I have a thing for lands with volcanoes, as my Clanblades series also has a volcano in the dry desert of Empire of the Six Clans. The Emberlands are more tropical, which was A BLAST to build. #worldbuildingwednesday
Early access, behind the scenes, and fun extras will be on Kickstarter. 🌳🐺📗⚔️💚
