The secret series title reveal for my 2023 writing project is here! She doesn't know which vision people hate more—the tale of six lords falling from the heavens and bringing balance to the world, or the accompanying warning that three other-worldly goddesses want to see the mortal world turned to ash. Either way, stumbling across the very men she had been seeing for years in her dreams changes everything. A powerful prophecy is now in motion—a prophecy that could doom them all. Can the lords from Nariah's dreams stop the destruction she so fears? Or will their very presence bring about the end of her world?

Eighteen Wishes is a debut novel in a whole new series by Sorens, marrying the best aspects of the writing style I saw in her Trimarked series into a fresh new series for an audience who doesn't shy away from deep questions.
The main character begins the story as a Genie trying to find her away around a curse. Tied by her curse to a single family of what were once warlocks, she must serve the firstborn son (by granting wishes) of each generation for a year beginning the day he turns 18. If she can grant 18 wishes for him within that year, she will free herself from the curse and return to being one of her own kind: an elite djinn hunter. There's only one problem: if she breaks her curse, all other genies will be freed as well--something the Djinn-hunter cannot allow to happen. Eighteen Wishes hooked me from the very beginning. Sorens has definitely upped her writing game with unpredictable twists, deep questions about duty, responsibility, and freedom (and the cost that freedom entails). The characters will tug at your heart-strings, and as the story goes on the lines between black and white blur into a gray that forces contemplation on who is deciding on justice and why. In the midst of all the action, travel, and adventures to other planes of existence, true love has a way of winding its way through the most unlikely of hearts in a very powerful way. Eighteen Wishes is a solid 5/5 for me in dynamic world-building, deep characters, a realistic romance, and high-stakes action. I would definitely recommend making Sorens' newest novel one of your first picks when the Realm of Darkness box set hits your e-readers on October 4th.

I have some big writing decisions to make in the coming weeks.
A couple weeks ago, my newsletter subscribers got a sneak peek at a big project coming in 2023. This project has huge implications for me as a writer, including: -Branding decisions (what genres I have found myself in love with and wanting to write the most in over the coming year) -Release schedule decisions -Decisions about whether to self-publish or traditionally publish, primarily -And decisions about how I am going to balance my life with my writing in general. I plan to publicly announce more about my secret project in late October/early November 2022, but if you'd like to stay in-the-know early (and hear more writing news), come join my newsletter HERE. I'll send you a free book for signing up, and you'll be one of the first to know what big writing decisions I end up making. Thank you all for being a part of my writing journey!
The last novella in the Splitting Worlds series is now available on Amazon! Both Angel's Abdication (Volume 1) and Angel's Ascendance (Volume 2), in Demon King Draco and Angel Princess Seracuse's dark fantasy romance duology, can be read for free with Kindle Unlimited or purchased exclusively on Amazon for the next three months. If you've already grabbed a copy and/or read either book, I cannot tell you how much an honest review would mean to me! You can review both books: -On Amazon HERE -On Bookbub HERE -Or on Goodreads HERE And if you're new to my Splitting Worlds series, this duology is a great place to start! The entire timeline is pictured below (of books in chronological order), but you can also read about each duology HERE. It feels so incredibly strange, walking away from the side novellas of this series and the worlds they each bring with them. At the same time, their stories have now been told. The world is set, and volume one of the series (the first full-length novel - Splitting Dawn) is set to make its appearance in the Realm of Darkness box set October 4th, 2022!
Thank you so much for helping me bring my Splitting Worlds series to life! Here's to many new adventures! I reviewed three books for Reedsy this week... here's how they scored:
