Whether you write fanfic or original works or paint/draw, be it fan art or original work or whatever else - I have to know, because I have a feeling this is going to be very decisive:
Any storyteller at all: Do you want to hear a story about a guy who was never meant to be king, but ended up having to take the throne? And it was hard.
Me: Oooooooh?
The storyteller: And not just hard in itself - there was sinister plotting beneath the surface, and interpersonal stuff was complicated too.
Thank you so much for asking! I haven't had the chance to talk about my book lately.
TWFA is my book The War For Ambition. This is the blurb:
Andy Wesley is plotting her own demise. After her twin sister and her mother died in a freak accident almost a year ago, Andy’s life has devolved into nothing but grief, guilt, and depression. With her father’s impending wedding date and their big move to a new city, now feels like the perfect time to do it.
Upon moving to Orange Blossom, Virginia, she finds her soon-to-be stepbrother, Xander Merrik, stumbling home covered in blood in the middle of the night. After Andy does some prodding, what he reveals changes everything: there is a whole other world just beyond our own. In this unbelievable world, her twin sister and mother are very much alive. This causes Andy’s suicide plans to come to a grinding halt, as she goes in search of her sister with a newfound glimmer of hope—and Xander.
Trying to find her way around the new world, she finds familiar faces and new friends to help her get to her family. What she finds is worse than she could have imagined: her mother, Celia, is heading a war against humans—which Andy comes to find out, she is not—inside their borders, and her twin, Gwen, is nothing more than a voiceless pawn. This comes as even more of a shock to Xander, who has been working for Celia for more than eight years.
The tropes here are: lost princess, friends to lovers, found family, and war
TWFA was my way of writing about my depression, neurodivernt brain, and trauma without outright writing about those things. Except for the first few chapters, which are pretty dark depression-wise.
