Just a fic writer

[numtwleve]

So, I've been super quiet lately...some of you may have guessed this, but the reason why is I was focusing on my debut novel! A little over a month ago, I published this baby and am super happy to share it! You may see some similar world-building in it from one of my recent fan fics!

I also have a newsletter, so if you want more details about upcoming work, what I'm currently reading, etc. use this link to sign up!

Novel Synopsis:

Bash: I never thought a simple vacation could turn into a true adventure. I was forced to live in paradise for the summer, and Greece was just as beautiful as my mother said it would be. While she wanted me to figure out my future, I don’t think she expected me to find what I did. I never believed in love at first sight; until...now. Nicos:

I am the stranger among many, but I have more secrets than anyone. My mother hates that I become human as often as I do, but Val supports me. My secret is that I wish I could stay in this form. But never did I want that as much as when I met...him.

They have no idea what is in store for them. If only they knew what I knew; what I set into motion. But, for me, it is more fun this way. Sometimes, the journey is just as interesting as the destination. Mediterranean Mornings is a fantasy novel, deeply seeded in Greek Mythology. This is an MM romance with love at first sight, deep conversations, and a HEA that no one will expect.

A big step forward during the holidays. I hope you all enjoy! Sorry for the delay in posting!

Excerpt:

“So, do I get to know who produced that smile on my baby girl’s face?” Anakin asked her, interrupting her conversation with Cara. Leia glanced up at him just realizing that she was smiling like an idiot.

“What do you mean? I'm just texting a friend,” Leia said defensively.

Prepping for Christmas in my fic, are you ready? I think I am! LOL. I hope you enjoy!

Excerpt:

“What else is going on?”

Leia huffed a laugh. “You know me too well, you know that?”

Din kissed the top of her head and chuckled. “You’ve hidden something from me for a few months. Tell me.”

Leia is trying to move forward, starting with a date with someone new! Read and enjoy!

Excerpt:

What if she said something stupid?

What if there were new protocols you had to abide by and she didn’t know about them?

What if Cara thought Leia was too old for her?

Oh god...what if Cara was too young for Leia?

And we have thr next installment for Leia's story! I hope you enjoy!

Excerpt:

Din brought her into his arms and Leia bit back a laugh as Luke curled into her other side. She let the tears flow as her brother and brother-in-law hugged her tightly.

“I don’t...” Leia took a deep breath, letting it out in a shaky fashion. “I don’t know what I'd do without you two.”

Luke kissed her cheek and hugged her tighter, but Din was the one to reply. “You’ll never have to find out.”

And on the best day of the entire year, we get another chapter! I hope you enjoy, this is a little dark and gets fairly deep here. On purpose and necessary, of course. Enjoy!

Excerpt:

“I’m not talking about you getting a boyfriend...or girlfriend,” Fennec said, smirking at her. “I’m just talking about getting you laid. How long has it been now?”

Leia felt her face get hot. “I lost count after the first year,” she said quietly.

“Han treated you like shit, sweetie.” Fennec’s voice was quieter and held nothing but comfort in it. Leia lifted her eyes to meet her friends. “You deserve to feel good, even if it’s just for the night.”

“I can’t,” Leia finally finished, her voice a mere whisper. “I’m not...ready.”

And now for something completely different! Welcome to a very personal story of regeneration after a messy divorce. I hope you enjoy!

Summary:

With the divorce going through, Leia’s monthly income was severely less than it had been before...and with Han still fighting to pay any alimony or child support, she was positive that she wouldn’t be able to afford their house. So, downsizing was the only option.

In the aftermath of a sticky divorce, Leia finds herself at a crossroads. Being newly single in your 30s is hard, but especially with three children and a deadbeat ex-husband. This story we will watch as Leia navigates her new reality.

This is not one of my normal fics and is a much more personal story. Heartache and loneliness aren't the focus; rather, they are the beginning of Leia's real happily ever after.

The final installment of the holiday series has been posted! I hope that you all enjoy, this was so much fun to write!

Excerpt:

“It will get better when they are older,” Din whispered into Luke’s neck. “I know we haven’t had a lot of time to be together lately...”

“It’s ok,” Luke said around a yawn. “I’m too tired anyway. Maybe we can get Mom and Dad to babysit for us someday soon.”

“Hmm,” Din hummed, his lips still pressing into Luke’s skin. “Miss me, baby?”

Luke yawned again. “Always.”

....And that’s a wrap! I’m so excited and sad to present each of you with the final chapter for my merman fic. It’s always bittersweet to say goodbye, and I’ve been writing this for almost a year. I hope that you have all enjoyed this as much as I have!

Thanks go to my amazing beta @zombified419 for helping this fic come together.

Excerpt:

“Swimming is so much more fun than walking.”

Din chuckled as he turned, resting on the sandy ground of the ocean. “It’s because you can swim faster than walking.”

Sinking, Luke turned slightly so he could sit on Din’s lap, wrapping his arms around his husband. “And because you are more comfortable like this. You are so happy when you are swimming, and it makes me happy for you to be happy.”

Din hummed, kissing his cheek softly. “That’s a lot of happy, love.”

Luke rested his forehead against Din’s temple. “There is a lot of happy when I’m around you.”

OOHHHH here we gooooooo!! The climax of my merman story finally! I am so happy to be able to share this with everyone!

We only have one chapter left, an epilogue to close everything else out. I hope you enjoy!

Excerpt:

“Cara,” Luke began, unsure of how to voice his concern.

“Look, I know. I get it. I live among them also, Luke. But they are firing on us. And now that they are dropping bombs that could hurt anyone under the surface, we have to stop them. I don’t think we have a choice.” Her voice was calm, but he could feel her underlying anger.

Nodding, Luke twisted in Din’s hold and pressed his back against his husband. “What can we do to help?”

Another holiday and another step forward for my holiday series! I hope you enjoy!

Excerpt:

“Did you get the results of the sonogram yet?”

“Yeah, this morning,” Leia said as she sipped her lemonade.

“What?” Luke whipped to the side to look at his sister. “You didn’t tell us!”

Leia rolled her eyes. “You were basically pushing me out of the apartment so you two could-”

“What did it say?” Din interrupted. “Is everything ok?”

“Well...” Leia smirked at his stern face.

Just so y’all know: I can’t speak for every other fic author but I can say that I remember when people leave me kind comments. I recognize your urls and/or usernames on AO3. I remember you and sometimes in writing my fics I think to myself, “Oh, I hope this person sees this because they liked x in this other fic I did.”

Not only that—I go back and reread comments when I’m feeling low. I look at tags and reblogs and asks and wish I could hold them in my hand like a note from a friend on an old, torn piece of notebook paper.

Your comments have so much more impact than you know. So thanks to those who use the comment section to spread love and encouragement. We appreciate you.

[numtwleve]

Agreed entirely.

And now for something completely different! I hope that you will enjoy this, since I feel like it’s very different from my normal stuff. I was focusing on the humor here, because it was just too good to pass up! 

I hope you all read and enjoy this little gift for my beta and best friend, @zombified419

Excerpt:

“He’s a nutter!” Jim hissed as they turned around to face Stede. “But an attractive one.”

Olu laughed, finally finding his own voice. “Definitely a nutter.”

Pete walked over to Lucius, casually draping his arm around the man. “I see what you mean, babe. He's hot.”

That woke Stede up. Rolling his eyes, he turned to lean against the island counter. “No perving on my neighbor, Pete.”

Pete’s eyes were sparkling. “I’ll leave that to you, Bonnet.”

Hello friends! Welcome back to the merman story and the prep for the final battle! I’m so happy to be here and share with all of you. I hope you enjoy!

Excerpt: 

“I promise, Leia. I won’t let anything happen to your brother,” Din said quietly as he hugged her back.

Leia pulled away and looked up at him. “Keep yourself safe, too, Din. You are my brother also.”

Din moved quickly to stand in front of them, concern coming off him in waves. “Boba? What’s wrong?”

“Jabba is onto us.”

Another holiday! So that means there’s another installment of my holiday boys series! I hope you enjoy this Father’s Day edition - that may or may not be a cliffy 😬😬😬

More coming soon!

Excerpt:

Fear crept up Luke’s back, causing him to shake slightly. “Are you serious? Getting sick can hurt my...my...” Swallowing back emotion, he looked helplessly at his father. Anakin was already in motion, sweeping back into the house to where Leia was presumably resting. Sinking down into the couch, Luke’s eyes met Emily’s. “What do I do? Din is sick and so is Leia...and the babies...”

“You aren’t alone, Luke. I'll see to Din while you go with Leia to the hospital. He would want you to do that, you know that, kiddo.” She smiled at him as she used her nickname for him. “It’s going to be fine. We just need to get rid of her fever and probably give her some fluids. I’m sure she’ll be just fine.”

[zombified419]

Heyoooo, new DinLuke fic dropped. It’s the second part of the ‘Running Away with Tall, Dark, Handsome, and Deadly (Minus the Killing 🖤)’ series: The Night He Came Home.

Essentially: Anakin’s out of town for a weekend business trip, so Luke invites Din over. The police may or may not get involved. 🥳 Hope you all enjoy. 🖤

The Night He Came Home

Excerpt:

[1:45pm] Luke: Dad’s gone

[1:45pm] Luke: i’m all alone now

[1:45pm] Luke: ur still coming over later?

Luke chews on his bottom lip while he waits for Din’s reply, staring at the blank television across the room before he stretches forward to grab the remote. He’s just a few minutes into a documentary about lions when his phone vibrates in his hand.

[1:52pm] Din: Yes, I’ll be there. Hopefully not too much longer.

[numtwleve]

YESSSS!! Ya’ll, this is SO FUN AND FUNNY! I know you’ll enjoy!

Oh I am so happy to be able to update this story again! I know that I have kept you all waiting for more...and here it is! We are winding down now, so pay close attention to some detail here!

Next chapter is already written and I am hoping to continue to post these quickly for everyone. Enjoy!

Excerpt:

Din pushed closer, his hand bunching Han’s shirt tightly. “Make me understand why you would want my brothers or sisters killed, Han. Make. Me. Understand.” Din bit out every word, his voice low.

“Let me go! I swear I'll tell you all what happened! Please...” Han’s eyes were wide, but they never left Din.

Luke stood and walked over to Din, placing his hand lightly on Din’s arm. “Let him speak.”
