Indie Author Weekly Spotlight -
L. L. Standage

Ever since her Type 1 diabetes diagnosis, Emery Kendrick is a shell of her former self. Anxious, lonely, and incomplete, she craves nothing more than a quiet life-a safe life. Even if it means living a half-life.

But when her twin sister Garnet goes missing, Emery must put aside her anxieties to join the search...a search that thrusts both sisters into a battle they never wanted to fight. Shapeshifting dragons, a beautiful but arrogant dragon king, and the truth about Arizona's legendary Lost Dutchman mine will forever change Emery and Garnet's relationship-and their lives.

Twin sisters find themselves on opposing sides of an inter-dimensional dragon war, while an unknown enemy plots world domination from the shadows. Failure to find and destroy this enemy will bring certain annihilation to an entire world...and then, to Earth itself.

Book bestie challenge!

@h.b.stapley_author
H. B. Stapley writes across genres, blending dark themes with closed-door romance and emotionally rich storytelling. Her work often centers on healing, redemption, and the strength found in imperfect characters. Outside of her fictional worlds, she can be found working her muggle job (paralegal), caring for her tiny humans (2), and unwinding with her hot husband (really hot).

@authorllstandage
L. L. Standage (Amy to her friends), is the author of four young adult urban fantasy novels. When she isn’t writing, she enjoys hot drinks on cold mornings, hiking, trying new foods, and exploring new ways to procrastinate finishing her next release. She lives with her family in the very sunny, cactus-infested fire hazard known as Arizona, but wishes she lived in a cottage in the English countryside.

We’ve been raving about the hot new software for writers called @novelio.app but the creator just keeps coming up with new things to flex our writing muscles!

So we just went to the website and signed up for a free email course to take us from no idea to fleshed out brainstorm in 14 days. It’s called Plot14, it’s totally free, and you don’t need Novelio. Basically, unless you’re running to find your fire extinguisher because you tried to light a match on an old box and now your house is on fire, we’re not sure what you’re waiting for.

In fact, that whole burned down house thing isn’t a bad place to start on Day 1 if you need a prompt. Just ask Lemony Snicket.
