It’s probably no secret that I adore Aliette’s writing and with my love for tea, it’s not a difficult guess to figure out why I picked up The Tea Master and the Detective. I don’t read much science-fiction but Aliette can sell me anything. Like a female Sherlock Holmes with Watson’s role being played by Read More
Review: The Tea Master and the Detective by Aliette de Bodard
On My Mind: Fanfiction And Getting Started
After I graduated and having written five thousand word papers regularly, there was a writing void. I knew I wanted to keep writing and preferably fiction. I played a lot of Guild Wars 2 at the time, a Mass Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. The world inspired me and a story brew in the back Read More
Interview & Excerpt: Each Little Universe by Chris Durston
It warms my heart every time I see another person jumping on the boat of indie publishing. Chris Durston pressed the publish button and now his book, Each Little Universe is available for purchase. It’s incredibly hard to take that next step from finished story to a finished book. And most of it is guts. Read More

After reading the summary of the first book, I was pleasantly surprised. The premise is interesting and you know I’m in for a good paranormal book. Read More
Self-Criticism And Productivity
In one of the Discord communities I’m part of, someone suggested writing a review of our own blogs as a writing prompt. I answered (with humour) that I never said anything nice about myself. I said it as a joke, but there’s truth in there. I have had self-esteem issues since I was a kid Read More

Thanks to Dave from The Write Reads for hosting the follow-up book tours for the other books by Kenneth. B. Andersen. The Die of Death is the second book in the Great Devil War series.

Writing As Relief
Writing as a form of therapy isn’t new. I started journaling years ago when I felt low and didn’t know what to do. Writing down my thoughts and feelings has helped me organise them and helped me realise important things. Even when things got better, I didn’t stop, and now I’m grateful to have the Read More
Tales of Lunis Aquaria Free For Limited Time
It’s almost one year ago since I published my first book, Tales of Lunis Aquaria, and a lot has changed. I wanted to do something as a celebration and offering the book for free seemed like a nice thing to do given the current situation. I’ve set it for free on Kobo and Smashwords, and Read More
