Book Cover Teaser!

Book Cover Teaser!

May 14, 2021

Hi, all! Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm to start, yet another, new book project! I mentioned it briefly in my post about my project plans for May, but wanted to give you an update on it along with a little teaser.

I've started a new book project and the first chapter is finished, and I'm part way through the second. I don't want to reveal too much yet (partly because it might change as I'm still sorting it all out myself; pantser, remember?), but the working title (which, at this point, I'm thinking I might keep, but, again, we'll see when it's finished) is "From the Ashes", and is going to be a Cinderella retelling.

Very likely, this will be the first in a series, but it all depends on where the story leads me. At this point though, I think it probable that I'll go on to write other fairy tale retellings in that same world. Not sure yet when I will be sharing chapter drafts to Royal Road as, when I asked around on the website's forum, it was recommended that I wait until I have a good backlog of chapters and am mostly finished writing the book before I start sharing them. The reason being that it'll allow for shorter gaps between updates and retain better visibility on the site. Thus, giving me a better chance of picking up an audience there for the book. However, I will be starting to share them here fairly shortly; so, if anyone would like to get advanced access to these chapter drafts and be able to read them long before they go public on RR, just pick a support tier!

In the meantime, here is a slight teaser in the form of the temporary book cover that I painted in Corel Painter! I plan to remake the cover once the book is finished and being gotten ready for final publication on Amazon, but it's nice to have something until then as Royal Road encourages having some sort of book cover.

Enjoy this post?
