Here is a fun little game I had to try with my two main mmc and fmcπŸ’›πŸ‘€

I am so proud with the results and yes both characters are from the Hunger Games so don't judge meπŸ’›πŸ˜…

If my fellow author friends would like to hop onto this little game, I would love to see the results of their mcs!!!

Therefore let me tag a few to hopefully expand this idea and find more amazing mcs out here!πŸ’›πŸ™ˆ

Would you read a Greek tragedy set in the Aegean around 750 BC that will pull you into an ancient world long lost to time?πŸ’›βš”οΈπŸ›

What about a story where not everything turns out as expected... and every action has its consequences?πŸ₯€βš‘️

Where the gods weave their plans in secret... until one mortal discovers the truth.

A prophecy destined to bring carnage to the world.πŸ’₯

If you could travel anywhere in the world for the sole purpose of writing a book inspired by that place, where would you go? πŸ“šπŸ—ΊοΈπŸ–ŠοΈ 

I asked a few writing friends and these were their responses! I would travel to Scotland (and @frogwood_studio said she’d join me) and dream up a folklore fantasy full of faeries and creatures of old. 

Thank you for all my incredible friends who participated! πŸ¦‹

I AM OFFICIALLY THROUGH THE FIRST DRAFT OF BOOK 2!!!πŸ˜­πŸ’›

AHHHHHHH!!! Someone pinch me because WHAT?! πŸ₯ΉπŸ™ˆβœ¨

I genuinely don't even know where to start because this journey has been such a rollercoaster. There were days when the words flowed, days when I questioned every single thing I wrote, days when imposter syndrome had me in a chokehold and days when my depression made even the smallest steps feel like climbing an entire mountain. πŸ₯²πŸ’›

And yet... somehow, through all of that, I MADE IT HERE. πŸ₯ΉπŸ«Ά

And you'd think that after publishing my first book, I'd be a little more used to this feeling by now, right? πŸ˜‚

Having Book 1 already out there was another challenge, too, because let's be honest... I probably should have been giving it more attention, but my brain was too busy obsessing over Book 2. πŸ™ˆπŸ’€πŸ˜‚

But hey, one of the biggest step is finally done!πŸ’›

And to everyone who supported me, encouraged me, and read my first book: THANK YOU. πŸ₯ΊπŸ«Ά You have no idea how much your kindness means to me. I'm so, so grateful to have you all here. πŸ’›

And now... I CAN FINALLY START SHARING MORE ABOUT BOOK 2 WITH YOU!!! πŸ€©πŸ’›

I cannot wait to fill this page with sneak peeks, introduce you to new characters, share little snippets, etc!!! πŸ™ˆπŸ₯Ήβœ¨

I have SO many things I want to share with you, and I'm beyond excited to take you along for the next part of this journey. Are you ready?! πŸ‘€πŸ€­πŸ’›

Cynical Beasts: The Lost Myths of Thalyssia
By @audreyoneira

- Greek myth inspired
- Propaganda 
- betrayal and loss
- government oppression 

"On the small island of Thalyssia, life is serene, until the seventeen-year-old Aerolia has to face the Oracle. Chosen as one of the few to become an Elysian warrior, she must leave her home behind and step into a world that will test her courage, loyalty, and the very limits of her spirit. Along the way, she will form new bonds, uncover hidden strengths, and slowly learn about the dark secrets lurking behind the sacred path she was chosen to follow."

I was thrilled for the opportunity to read this, thank you for the instagram giveaway and shipping this across the ocean to me!

Influenced by the stories of Greek mythology, Cynical Beast transports the reader to a different time and place. Despite being a tale all its own, you can definitely feel the classical influence - from the terminology and Greek words and phrase to the references to lesser known, but equally important, gods. I was really impressed by the amount of research that must have gone into the book. You can tell that the author has a love of both the time period and the lore. 

The writing itself is lovely and descriptive. It’s easy to visualize exactly what the characters are seeing and going through. What they were thinking, feeling. I wasn’t being told a story, I was being shown. As a reader, I felt like I was transported to Thalyssia. It is an experience I will not soon forget. 

The story is much darker than I anticipated. There are secrets around every corner and cruel truths revealed. The trials are dangerous, but that is far from being the most deadly thing that our MC must face while on this path of hers. The cliffhanger is absolutely diabolical and I eagerly look forward to seeing what comes next!

Thank you to @audreyoneira for the eARC. All thoughts are my own.

Soft, comforting and forever connected to someone Aerolia loves dearly.

Her other half.
Her older sister.
Her idol.

The one Aerolia would give anything to find again, clinging to hope even when all hope seems lost.πŸ’œ

What if you could step into the Aegean of 750 BC... Into a world of ancient gods, forgotten poleis, bloodshed and battles? πŸ’›βš”οΈπŸ›

A world where fate is never as simple as it seems.

Where every choice carries a price, every betrayal leaves a scar. πŸ₯€

The gods have been weaving their plans in silence, pulling the threads of mortal lives as they pleased.

Until one mortal uncovers the truth.

And with that truth comes a prophecy...

One destined to unleash carnage upon the world.

...

🌿Would you survive the ancient world?🌿

It's September and I have seen others spreading Awareness over that sensitive topic so I thought of joining tooπŸ’›πŸ™

I wanted to share my story. It is scattered across all four slides (It is a bit long I know hahahaπŸ’›πŸ˜…πŸ™ˆ)

β—‡β—‡β—‡β—‡β—‡β—‡β—‡β—‡β—‡β—‡β—‡β—‡β—‡β—‡

A few years ago, I was in a very bad place. At school, I felt casted out and seen as the weird 'french' girl that was rather spending time with her siblings during lunch time than with people her age. People made fun of me, because of my body, because of my way of being, because of anything that was 'weird' for them.

But what they didn't try to understand was that I had been previously bullied at the school I had been before. I had lost most of my friends during that change in my life and finding myself in a new environment was tougher than I had thought.

I never showed my fears and wounds. I always tried to act tough and full of joy although deep down I was exhausted.

At home I fought with my family non stop. I slowly distanced myself and thought of running away multiple times but never had the guts to do anything.

And then I met my abusive ex. At this time we were still kids (15 to 18 years). Yet the more I stayed with him, the more he took advantage of me. I had no self esteem and he made sure that it stayed that way. He insulted me and wasn't very loyal either. He would compare me to others and make me feel bad for not trusting him and wanting to control everything he did.

The relationship was so toxic and I thought I couldn't get out of it. I had so many times thoughts of wanting to leave this earth. And when we fought and I would tell him that he would say horrible things like I deserved it etc.

I was at my lowest with him and the worst was that I believed I only deserved this much love.

And then after almost 3 years, he became physically abusive. With that, I finally had the courage to break it off.

But despite all, the damage was done. I had no friends, no close connection to my own family, no self esteem etc.

I wanted to give up so many times. But the only thing that kept me going was a conversation I had had with my little sister back when we were 13.

She had told me of her fear of death and although I was by @audreyoneira
