Ok but what if the sea witch was gay, and she was in love with the Little Mermaid's mom? What if their love story spanned generations? What if the little mermaid wasn't the only one who got her legs? What if even the sea witch got a happily ever after? All questions I sought to answer with my novella series Tales of the Sea! ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐งโโ๏ธ No creature under the sea is born dark; some just lose themselves. Irsaโs name was lost long ago to the obscurity of being labeled a villain. Born with enough magic to boil the ocean, all Irsa wants is a simple life with her best friend, Aislin. But when they discover their connection is more than just friendship, the pair must fight all odds to be together. Surviving the sea isnโt easy, but Irsa has never known any different. With Aislin by her side, she must face a wicked witch, defy a prince, and maybe gain all she ever wanted: a happily ever after. Tales of a Sea Witch is an origin story full of mermaids, and undersea magic for fans of Tithe by Holly Black, and Wicked by Gregory Maguire. #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity #writerscommunity #writer #writers_den_ #writers #writersofig #writersofinsta #writersoninstagram #lgbtcharacters #lgbtcharacter #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #amwritingfiction #fairytales #fairytale #lgbtbooks #lgbtbook #lgbtqbooks #lgbtbookstagram #littlemermaidretelling #seawitch #fairytaleretelling #epicreads #lgbtqreads #lgbtqreads๐ #fairytaleretelling #fairytaleretellings #underthesea #mermaidstories

Happy Sunday ๐๐ I actually do like tea. But rusty bog water is good too (for ambience). Seawater is great as well, for swimming and housing Krakens.

April Challenge Day 27! Decent progress yesterday! Though most of the day I was doing other things (mainly knitting and listening to an audiobook, but also some household chores), I did manage to hit a bit of a writing stride in the evening. ๐ I also finished Elantris yesterday; I may do a book reviewโor at least, my thoughts on itโlater. #writer #writing #writersofinstagram #amwriting #writers #writingchallenge #fantasywriter #fantasywriters #amwritingfantasy #writingprogress #aprilwritingchallenge #writerslife #booklovers #booklover #book #bookworm #audiobook #reading

Words written this month: 21,221 โข I participated in an unofficial Camp NaNoWriMo this April to finally transcribe all of my handwritten first drafts into the computer. Now that I've completed that goal, I can start writing something new this upcoming November when NaNoWriMo starts. That's going to be fun. I'm not 100% sure what I want to try to write in November, but I am narrowing it down towards a few ideas. โข It took me almost four years since I finished handwriting it in November 2020 to get this project written into the computer. I got distracted by other projects, and I tend to let my drafts sit and collect dust for a bit before picking them up again. This is my second attempt at writing a middle-grade fantasy. Let's hope this one might, one day, probably after several revisions, not be rejected by every publisher that I send it to. But even if that were to happen, at least I had lots of fun writing it. โข #CampNaNoWriMo #amwritingfantasy #amwriting #handwriting #bujo #bujospread #writingbujo #bulletjournal #bujoofig #writingplans #bulletjournaling

Enter the world of The Shadow Enforcer, where ancient gods of different pantheons walk among unsuspecting humans, magic is real, and anything is possible. . All nine books of the Shadow Enforcer Urban Fantasy Series are now available on Amazon, FREE with Kindle Unlimited. . Here is what readers say about it: . โ โ โ โ โ . "Page turner. Great read, I had trouble putting it down to do other things (like work). I highly recommend this book to everyone." Amazon / Goodreads Reviewer . โ โ โ โ โ . "So much fun. I read these two books first and then read the Fire Salamander series. I have read most of the great Urban Supernatural authors and this is the first with the Slavic pantheon. Having some of my ancestry from Ukraine I was super excited when I found it. Even better when I found the fun seamless stories by this author. Excellent job writing awesome books using an oft overlooked pantheon. I recommend these books to everyone for entertainment and to learn a mythology you probably weren't familiar with." Amazon / Goodreads Reviewer . โ โ โ โ โ . "...it's a fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat kind of story; just like we've come to expect from Thorn. If you loved FSC, or if you love Urban Fantasy with that wonderful magical twist and deep seated Folklore, the Shadow Enforcer is for you." Amazon / Goodreads Reviewer . โ โ โ โ โ . "One thing I truly love about NM Thorn is her availability to keep surprising the reader. In this book nothing is what it seems and even when you finish the Shadow Deception, other than Damian and Cole, you are not sure who the real enemy is. Ms. Thorn seamlessly weaves the modern world around magic in a way that few authors are capable of doing."

Describes summer on Eserial after the death of the true goddess who was the Sun of Eserial. ~~~ It is summer now, But the meagre warmth never lasts When it snows still, Below a sky sunless in mourning. It is summer in name, Because the seasons failed to fade With the death of the Sun And the retreat of the sun above. It is summer without sunlight, Though the clouds over her tomb are paler, Shining all but unseen, Mirrored thus by the melting snow That cannot bury the Sun. ~~~ Prompt: -it is summer, but the warmth never lasts; @poetrybydee @_lexmwrites #deeprompts #lexprompts
โ Happy #SnippetSunday!โ โ Today's Paradox snippet is the first time Meg witnesses Nate disappear through time. He just up and vanishes, leaving Meg reeling. โ I'm in the middle of trying to work out how to best achieve my writing goals each week without losing momentum. The weather is getting colder, which means it's hard to get out of bed early, but I don't get as much writing done if I leave it until the evenings, so I really need to push myself there! Once I finish my current beta reading, I think I need to stop putting my hand up to read for others for a while to focus on my own writing more closely. I've been betaing one thing or another for the best part of 2024, and while I have immensely talented friends whom I am happy to support, I think I need to really have some dedicated time on my own projects. โ . . . . . . . โ #SundaySnippet #Snippet #WIP #writer #writing #WritersOfInstagram #WritersOfIG #WritingLife #WritersLife #quote #Quotes #Novel #Creativity #WritingBlog #FindMyWritingCommunity #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #AmWritingFantasy #Fantasy #SpeculativeFiction #UrbanFantasy #Author #AuthorGram #LifeOfAnAuthor #AussieWriters #IndieAuthor #SelfPublishedAuthor
Dipping into the @writer.friends.challenge just in time to say that I'm firmly a sunrise writer! Writing by candlelight as dawn peeks over the horizon is my absolute favourite way to start the day.

Time for a mini rant... One thing that annoys me about many contemporary fantasies is how there has to be an explanation for โWhy Magic Doesnโt Work Anymore,โ since obviously (sarcasm) there isnโt โจmagicโจaround anymore. ๐ I get it. Really. Itโs an interesting concept to play with, and Iโd like to do it myself sometime. But it just feels so limiting to say that magic isnโt in the world currently. Our world IS magical โ it only takes opening your eyes to see it! And I think thatโs where the difference between Then and Now lies. Maybe people of the past simply had their eyes open in different ways. And yes, that perspective shift would be hard to write well. Or.... maybe the โจmagicโจ in the fantasy world IS actually so very different that we definitely do not have anything like it today (or ever ๐ ). Thatโs valid too. Like I said, I have plans to write something like that. ๐ง๐ฝโโ๏ธ It still feels like there's a missed opportunity to create a really complex world thatโs truer to reality while still being fantastical. I think it would potentially make a more nuanced and insightful story to explore why people miss the magic that really is in the world. Like, what if there really are fairies and magicians, not in a hidden dimension but not visible because most people are so firmly convinced that they canโt exist? Our real world is so materialist, not willing to believe in things that canโt be explained, that characters who simply refuse to see the magic around them makes a lot of sense. ๐ง๐ฝโโ๏ธ Anyway...

It's Independent Bookstore Day! And that means no matter what it looks like outside, it's the perfect weather for a new book from your local indie bookstore. (it's rainy and cold and dreary in my neck of the woods, thanks for asking) So go grab your favorite beverage, and browse the shelves! Maybe you'll find your new favorite author. graphic thanks to @thebookburrowtx #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity #writerscommunity #writer #writers_den_ #writerslife #writers #writersofig #writersofinsta #writersoninstagram #lgbtcharacters #lgbtcharacter #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #amwritingfiction #blackcat #modernfairytale #modernfairytales #fairytales #fairytale #lgbtbooks #lgbtbook #lgbtqbooks #lgbtbookstagram #lgbtreads #lgbqreads

โจ๏ธ BOOKISH DRAFTING UPDTES!โจ๏ธโ๏ธ RIPPLES OF THE PAST is the sequel to my debut novel EMBER IN THE MIST. My Christian fantasy series, Pure Gems of Betzaria, is a five book series. My WIP is coming along. I know I have lots to do with this sequel. However, the good news is I know that it's not important because I've done it before with my debut novel. ๐ Ripples of the Past is fun to write, especially now that I have an idea of how to write a sequel. Step 1 is the full draft. Once with is done, I can self edit and begin working with editors, and I hope Beta and ARC readers, too! So far, I've written 37K words. I've come this far, so I'm not going to give up.๐ By God's grace, I've found my rhythm while writing this book. Sequels are definitely more challenging than I thought, but it is so fun to write when you figure it out! I get to grow alongside my main characters! Now, that's pretty awesome! โค๏ธ Happy Saturday! . . . #bookishupdate #authorbrendilynnma #booktok #puregemsofbetzaria #christianfantasy #bookishpost #middlegradebooks #christianfantasyauthor #drafting #amwritingfantasy #authorofinstagram # #booklover #writingcommunity #fantasyauthor #christianfiction #bookupdate #fantasyseries #blackwriters #fantasywriter #finishthatdraft #authorgoals #sequel #neriahrosewood #christianfantasyseries #puregems #ripplesofthepast #wip #imwriting
YOUR WHY IS IMPORTANT!V When you know your why, you can more easily work through the fears that are holding you back your progress. If your why is to write a book for fun, it doesn't matter if nobody else will read it. If your why is to process trauma, it doesn't matter if it's full of errors. If your why is to see if you can do it, it doesn't matter how long it takes. If you've been stuck on your writing, sit down and remember your why. This may be the key to finally kicking those pesky thoughts and fears to the curb. #firstdraftclub #askaneditor #authorcoaching #helpmewrite #Askanauthor #authorsinvested #writingtipsandtricks #amquerying #Authorsrock #authorcoach #thoughtwork #romanceeditor #fantasyeditor #writerslift #writermom #authorlove #writerquotes #editorhelp #authorshelpingauthors #developmentaleditor #lineedit #amwritingfantasy #bookwriting #writingtip #amwritingfiction #amwritingromance #indieauthors #writingcommunity #writingtips #amediting
