I wrote an adult fantasy romance novel, which is currently a work in progress. The working title is “The Pipe Nightmare”. It is written in multi point of view, from the perspectives of the FMC, MMC, and antagonist. There is a magic system based on my artistic interests in music, art, knitting, and cooking. The main characters play musical instruments from Ancient Greece. And there are dragons, serpents, spirits, and war! I plan to query literary agents. I will update this page about my book(s) as more info becomes available.
Blurb: In a world where music and art are magic, Princess Mavis commits to slay a dragon with her aulos reedpipes to earn her mother’s approval. But when her magic and her heart intertwine with her enemy, everything she has sacrificed for begins to unravel. Owen is a Vahrlander mage hunter with a secret: he is a mage himself. Sent to the magic-loving kingdom of Revmyria to destroy it from within, he must succeed, or his sister will be killed. After Mavis and Owen duel, their magic becomes mysteriously bound together. Forced to rely on each other to find a seer who can break their connection, they hide their deepest secrets while fighting an attraction that could destroy them both. Meanwhile, Mavis’s brother will stop at nothing to become first in line and secure his marriage to his beloved.
Authors Note: Readers, please note that this is an adult/new adult novel with foul language. The importance of consent is an ongoing theme and this book features two sets of couples that present this theme in different ways. For the main couple, there are open-door, consensual intimate/spicy scenes that are framed in a good light. To contrast, for the secondary couple there are closed-door, dubious and non-consensual intimate scenes that are framed in a bad light. Eventually, there are consequences for the actions of the perpetrator/antagonist. Overall, the quantity of intimate scenes are minimal in comparison to the entirety of the book.
