Hello there!
Once again, welcome to the blog! I'm so glad to be back after a long absence from most of social media. This time around, I've brought lots of news that you might find interesting. In the last two months, I've been trying to get some projects off the ground so that you'll actually have something to look forward to for the second half of summer and for next season.
We'll start off this post with a celebratory banner for our Open Novella Contest entry. For the second time, our story managed to grab a spot on the short list. It also received an Ambassador's Pick award, which is such a great honor! As of this moment, Godhood is complete and live on Wattpad. I plan on publishing it as a free ebook, hopefully in December. I've added the novella's description below so you can see if you might want to read it.
The life of a goddess isn't as easy as it seems.
On the morning of Palya's arranged marriage, a mark appears on her forehead, indicating that she has ascended into a deity. She learns that she has become a void-goddess with the ability to undo the other gods' blessings. Believing that she would betray them and lose control, her fellow gods declare that she must submit herself to an eternal slumber, which would restrain her power.
Unless, of course, she could learn to master her gift. The new void-goddess must bind her power to the soul of a mortal who will die if she uses it beyond what the situation demands. Palya thinks that nobody in their right mind would be willing to risk their lives for her freedom--until Iloyu, the man she was supposed to marry, volunteers for the task.
Can the timid but hopeful Palya and the brash but noble Iloyu navigate the perils of godhood and fall in love along the way?
Our second piece of news is an update on Citrinella, the third story in our Flutterfae Brides series. I've finished planning and plot revising all but three of the fifteen parts for this project. I'm writing and uploading the chapters on Wattpad as we speak. If you do head over there to read it, make sure to check out the Introduction. There are reference images there for our two main characters, Hero and Lucille. I plan to release the ebook version of Citrinella around the same time as Godhood.

His heart was hers for the taking.
The Fall Gatherings have started, and the flutterfae have arrived to seek human brides. These dashing gentlemen, blessed with beautiful and magical wings on their backs, are excited to find romantic partners at the Flutterfae Grove. The eligible women from within and beyond Harowe are equally eager to catch their eye. All except for Lucille, that is.
The astute heiress has no intention of finding a husband at the gatherings. Her only purpose for attending is to ensure that her friends do not experience the same heartbreak she had years before. But when the gracious and delightful Hero tries to charm his way into her good graces, her conviction wavers. He thinks that she's the perfect choice, and she wonders if he could be her second chance.

Lastly, and perhaps the most exciting news of all, our books are finally on Google Play Books! This was a long time coming, as my previous attempt to add them there grounded to a halt. Back then, the limited access of visitors and digital content sellers from the Philippines made the process more complicated than it needed to be. But now that a sleek design, along with bundle creators, payment channels, and pdf options are available, our Filipino readers can grab copies of our novels hassle-free.
Additionally, Google Play automatically adjusts ebook prices. You're almost always guaranteed a lower price if you purchase through there. If you'd like to see the available titles, you can click the button below. It will lead you directly to the search page for our stories. Make sure to check out the free pdf versions of Marina and Gentle Green from there!
As always, thank you so much for your unwavering interest and support in our writing projects. Thank you for sticking around and giving feedback on our posts and online drafts. If you'd like to see more of them, please visit our Facebook author page from time to time. That's where you'll see more frequent developments regarding our works in progress.
I hope you have a lovely day!
