Self Published a BOOK!
8 years ago
Fun fact- I love writing stories, just not comics.
So I finally just let the creativity flow forth and I wrote a FUCKING NOVEL. I published it under an actual name.
It's just over a 100,000 words and is available as an ebook from amazon's direct publishing on kindle and their supported platforms. It will also be a series, lasting four to five books and then I might indulge in some smaller spin offs from it.
Here' the blurb:
This book contains graphic scenes that may disturb some readers. It is for mature audiences only.
“Avium, the winged ones, the bird people. For the most part, they looked completely human except for the wings. Krist knew some religions had winged deities but the Avium were more akin to hawks, sparrows, and even lovebirds then a mythical deity. Legend said that when her people were just another tribe on the Great Plains, they had extensive aviculture, using birds of a thousand varieties to get things done. Then there was a war, because there was always a war in these stories, and the Avium’s pantheon of gods and goddess gifted the people with the wings of the birds they so loved much and bid them create a new life in the mountainous peninsula of the Shattered Continent.”
-Excerpt
The race called the Avium were once gifted wing to survive, earned for their love of the birds that flew above them in the sky and given to them by their gods. They can be insular and petty. They can be great and honorable. They can be farmers or they can be warriors. They rule the mountainous nation of Mon' Avium, standing for no intruders or invaders. They are proud and long lived.
And they are under siege from legends they barely remember.
Kristanya Noctisa Regis is a warrior, but born to the wrong family, the white winged Royal House. As a Valkyrie, a black winged female of her people, chosen at birth by the Avium goddess of war and conquest. Valkyries are gifted with the sange furie, a blood rage that makes them exceptional in combat but also leaves them with vicious tempers and a blood lust they must fulfill. Like only a rare few, she's destined for life in the mountains, protecting Mon' Avium and its people. She must contend with a growing belief that many Avium believe the Valkyries are too dangerous to be allowed a real place in their society and that she was raised by one of those people. She must enter the Sisterhood of The Val and prove herself a great warrior and one who can over come great challenges, including being a member of the Royal House. She must be smart and ready to give the ultimate sacrifice on the battlefield for the glory of her goddess. She must win.
There's a war brewing to the north and more sinister problems brewing in Mon' Avium. Will she and those around her be ready to fight a war on multiple fronts to save her people from outside threats and those that brew within?
You can read it for free(kindle unlimited) or for $2.99 if you don't have kindle unlimited.
