A person's favorite color, favorite animal, and favorite flavor of ice cream can say a lot about them when considering the answers as a whole. Some prime examples I've heard are:

~ Silver, Artic Wolf, and Mint Chocolate Chip.

~ Pink/Yellow, Putu Bird, and Cotton Candy.

~ Light Brown, Tree Kangaroo, and Rum Raisin.

~ Green, Pig, and Cookie Dough.

Mine are:

~ Burgundy, Fox, and Moose Tracks.

Tag some friends and get a sense of who they are! :)

Holy fuck I would have loved to see that

There should be more books that have chapter titles, and then a little summary of the chapter below them. You don't have to be boring with them, or spoil the whole chapter by telling what happens - you could make it vague, like a prophecy of something you know is going to happen, but you don't know how, or with what results.

Having one-sentence summaries like "Chapter 12 - where the Queen's hound makes a fatal mistake" and you're like oh shit does this refer to the queen's actual hunting dog, or the guy that's mockingly called her lapdog? "Chapter 24 - where justice finds a thief, and a thief finds justice" and you're like ooooh shit the cute little pickpocket is going to get caught, and then it turns out that shit, she does get caught, but by someone who actually agrees that she's right to steal to help feed her family, and gets her help instead, which is justice.

You already know what's going to happen, but not how.

EXCITING NEWS! ^_^

I have two very exciting things to share with you all! First of all, since it’s the last week of Indie April, my debut novel, The Tengu And The Angel, is now on sale at a reduced price until May 1st! If you haven’t already read my angsty gay friends to lovers romance, and you’d like to grab yourself a copy, you can do so on Amazon! I’m linking the book’s Goodreads page below. so that you can be redirected to the right Amazon site for your country/territory. Oh, and on the subject of my book, I have another announcement about it coming up, but I can’t tell you right now. If you want to be among the first to know about it, you can now sign up to my mailing list! That’s right, Alina Capella has an official mailing list now, and if you sign up to it, you’ll be the first to know everything about my books, before I post anything on social media, including future releases! You’ll also get first dibs on ARCs, and some other fun surprises, like access to some of the notes I made while writing, and in future, maybe even some giveaways! If you’d like to sign up for my reading list, DM me with your email! I won’t flood your inbox with irrelevant crap—I’ll only send you emails if I have something to tell you, because face it, people sign up to mailing lists because they wanna hear about books, not the author’s personal life, am I right? And I promise not to give your email, or anything else you share with me, to anyone without your knowledge and consent, and if at any point, you want to be removed from my mailing list, all you have to do is tell me, and I’ll remove you, no questions asked!

DM me if you want to join my mailing list, and if you’d like to pick up a copy of my book, the link is below! ^^

Thanks to @madi-konrad for tagging me back! Didn’t get an awful lot of these for Night Of The Blue Moon but oh well lol:

Leaving this tag open!

Thanks for the tag @goldencomet69! My WIP, Night Of The Blue Moon has nothing to do with pirates, and I haven’t written anything about pirates in my life, but I managed some of these, even though they’re a bit of a stretch…I mean, Hades is a main character, and while he’s a god, he’s also the ruler of the underworld, so technically he’s royalty as well?

Anyway, here’s my WIP bingo! This is themed around Night Of The Blue Moon, but it can work for any WIP:

WIP Bingo

I answered for both of mine, Honor's Outcasts in blue, Mystery of the Mortal God in red

HO got so damn close! And for MG, I'll count Ivander’s curse as a chronic illness, even if it's not an illness in the medical sense. The gods in both can die, just not of old age

Here are my bingos (HO on left, MG on right)

I'll tag @rinatthemin @goldencomet69 @the-mindless @faeriecinna and whoever else wants to join in :)

Been thinking a lot about Theo (Bad guy from The Tengu And The Angel) lately, and more specifically trying to pinpoint what happened to him after he got sectioned. I would like to think that after Nathaniel cut him off, and he got sectioned, he finally realised the error of his ways, and once he was released from the hospital, he started over and found a new group of friends. He misses Nathaniel, but he knows that he can’t go back to him because he’s destroyed any semblance of relationship that they once had. Still, he deeply regrets treating him the way he did, and years later, when he finds out that Nathaniel and Kunio are getting married, he’s happy for them, but he hates himself for knowing that he’ll always be the monster that haunts Nathaniel’s dreams, and he’s too afraid to reach out and apologise to him because he doesn’t want to hurt Nathaniel any more than he already has…

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????

I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?

A DEMON'S NAME UPON YOUR LIPS

It is the curse of ADHD that, at least for me, I'm always running to the next project, and then the next, chasing the new shiny thing. And that has served me well in my creative endeavors, as much as it has stymied me. But I really do think that I caught something special in my first novel, A DEMON'S NAME UPON YOUR LIPS. And thanks to how my brain works, I rarely ever promote it! Which seems unfair for how much effort I put in, alongside my friends who patiently helped me edit it.

It's a sapphic romance between a (newly minted) Duke and the demon she summons. It's a fantasy which takes place in a secondary world loosely based on Victorian-era Europe, though without any of the queerphobic, or even sexist, hatred endemic to its real-world counterpart (or even to our modern day). It's fast paced, gay as fuck, and I poured my heart and soul into it.

I'd be honored if you picked it up; it's only $5.99. About the price of a Latte.

Grab it at the following places:

itch.io (PDF, ePub, and mobi all included!)

Kobo link (ePub version)

Apple Books, Smashwords, and a few others (ePub version)

Amazon (Kindle version)

Barnes and Noble (ePub

Synopsis below the cut:

Lucia is a succubus, a demon with the power to shape the emotions and passions of mortals. Summoned often into the world of Melodia, she takes pride in upholding her demonic contracts to the best of her abilities. She likes to think she does her job well … though a string of recent failures say otherwise.

Talia, the recently elevated Duke of Fallmire, summons Lucia for a simple reason: to pose as her wife and fulfill marital obligations to the satisfaction of Parliament. All to say, just a few weeks of walking around the estate and playing nice with the neighbors before a conveniently tragic death. Quick and easy.

But immediately, Lucia smells blood in the water. Behind closed doors, the Duke plots vengeance upon those who killed her father—and the demon wants in. Revenge, after all, is much more fun … and more lucrative, to boot.

But can Lucia predict how hard she’d fall for the Duke? (Not a chance). And can the Duke find it in her vengeful heart to love?

Spice Level: lightly described nudity, fade-to-black sex.

64,000 words.

I’m slowly coming to the realisation that I’m a burst writer. I get bursts of energy and the words pour out of me for days, and then I have a day where I can’t write shit

On a scale from mouse in a jean jacket to eel with a gun…I’m probably a goat with barbed wire around its horns. I may be cute, but I have an insatiable appetite, startle ridiculously easily, and I have a hard time shutting the fuck up ^*.*^

I don't trust anyone who hasn't acknowledged their capacity for evil.
