"You're Literally Younger Than Me"

I am thrilled to announce that my upcoming novel, To Shape a Dragon’s Breath: The First Book of Nampeshiweisit - which will be released on May 9th 2023 - is now available for preorder!

Anequs, a fifteen-year old indigenous girl, has never been away from her isolated island community. But Anequs has just bonded with a dragon hatchling, and thus become the first Nampeshiweisit - person in a unique relationship with a dragon - that the island has seen in more than two hundred years. That’s something that does not go unnoticed by the colonizing powers that be.

Now, in accordance with the colonizers’ laws, Anequs must attend an academy on the mainland and prove her competence in dragon husbandry and magic. If she can’t or won’t perform to their very specific expectations, her dragon will be put to death.

Anequs must navigate two cultures’ worth of traditions and wisdom, trying to fill a role no one has held in two hundred years. There are no mentors who can teach her precisely what she needs to be, so she must find her own path. She rekindles lost traditions, pieces together new ways of doing ancient things and traditional ways of doing new things. She must comply with the laws and regulations imposed on her by colonizers while also staying true to her people's values and beliefs.

It can be preordered at Penguin Randomhouse, Barnes and Noble, and Amazon among other retailers.

Finally, the meme meme meme…

You just found out you’re a superhuman. You have everything that comes with that, super strength, speed, and the ability to not need to eat or sleep. This is good until your friends start realizing you haven’t eaten in a while, causing them to have a surprise intervention.

the worst thing in the world is doing things. the second worst thing in the world is not doing things. how has no one ever come up with a solution for this

Is it a stupid idea? Yes. Did I have to go overboard and animate it? No.

But I had to and I'm not sorry ;P

You’ve heard of one shots, now get ready for none shots! It’s when you think of an idea for a fic and then don’t write it

so you know abt the "if they're my favorite character i'm gonna be excited to see them hurt" thing but.. am i the only one who gets Annoyed when characters i dislike get whumped? like. they didn't deserve the honor, what an injustice that this is canon 😅😂

Oh, yeah, I feel that too. Like the character I like was right there for the whumping, why would you choose that one?

As someone who is starting to create stuff, I was curious :)

Don't hesitate to elaborate if you want to !
