A guide to SUNFALL, an M/M fantasy. #QuestPit #Q #A #F #LGBT "A voice said, Look me in the stars And tell me truly, men of earth, If all the soul-and-body scars Were not too much to pay for birth." -Robert Frost, A Question

I've very busy lately writing very serious work. you can see by my custom ellipsus template that this work is very important and serious.

it is time!

...and for some of you, at the stroke of midnight tonight....

SUNFALL: a genre-blending fantasy about a mage who dies fighting his enemy and then falls in love with him, in that order. 🛏️ isekai-inspired 📻 hidden identities x enemies-to-lovers 🚗 road trips x tragic monsters 🎵 a 1940s superheroes feel x examining hyperindividualism #DVPit #A #F #R #LGBT

When the archmage Helio dies at his enemy's hands, he doesn't expect to get a do-over. So when he wakes up in a stranger's body, he swears he won't waste it. Falling in love with said enemy was not a part of the plan. 🪄 Enemies-to-Lovers ☀️ Sun & Moon Pairing 🛏️ Isekai-inspired #DVPit #A #F #LGBT

For the latest Sheridan Bell mystery, it was definitely the (mostly) period-accurate public mediumship demonstration! Balancing the historical tricks mediums would have used with real magic existing AND modern reader expectations was challenging, but I love challenging 💪

I really hate the “I don’t owe anyone anything” mentality because we actually owe each other and this planet a lot. You don’t have to be selfless all the time or burn yourself out but you should be kind and helpful and compassionate to the best of your ability. We need to care about each other more

i'm sorry, "apparently some readers only read dialogue now, so make sure you put anything important in quotation marks"

Okay don't ask me to explain this, but if you like both fantasy and Sufjan Stevens, you will probably love Sunfall.

Those people who proudly read by skipping everything in the books but the dialogue.
