Decided I've been hanging onto this picture for too long and should just throw out my posting schedule and share it now! When I saw this reference image, a perfect base for an author with six ocs, I felt like it was made for me! The two in the top row are Victor and Maristella, and the bottom row is Verity, Evelyn, Conroy, and Adrian!
I would like to place an order for one Maristella and Verity with 🎅 please?
My girls!!!
Send me an ask with a character and a Christmas themed emoji, and I'll draw you a Christmas fanart! 🎀
MARISTELLA ARRINGTON: THE ADMIRAL'S DAUGHTER releases MAY 20, 2026!
When Maristella Arrington, the admiral's daughter, meets a charming young lieutenant named Adrian, he convinces her to join the royal navy. She enlists, alongside her best friend, Verity. A few days before her graduation from the naval academy, she receives word that Adrian's ship, while engaged in battle with a pirate vessel, was sunk, and he perished along with it. Maristella then sets out to get her revenge on the pirates who sent Adrian to his watery grave, which proves difficult when she finds that the pirates haven't killed him— they've recruited him— and she must join forces with them as well in order to save Verity's life.

I asked my little brother, whose specialty is stick figures in ms paint, to design me a post to promote my book, and this was the result:
What do you think, should I hire Skyguy as my full-time social media manager?

“Verity, who is that?” she asked, gesturing slightly in his direction.
“The captain over there?” Verity asked.
“Not the captain. The lieutenant she’s talking to.”
“Not sure. Why? Do you recognize him fRom somewhere?”
Maristella shook her head. “I feel as though I’d remember if I’ve ever met him before.”
“Oh,” Verity raised an eyebrow and tilted her head closer to Maristella, “so you fancy him?”
“I never said that.”
Verity’s response was a knowing glare.
“I don’t even know him,” Maristella said. “I just think he seems different from the rest of them.”
“First of all, he probably isn’t. But, secondly, we’re going to find out.”

As of yesterday afternoon, the first draft of book 2 is finished! A first draft's only purpose to exist, and this one does just that and only that. There are so, so many scenes and information that need to be added, so many brackets I need to fill with words, and so many things that need to be ironed out! Still, this is incredible to have finished by now, and hopefully such speedy progress means we won't be waiting four and a half years for this one 😉
And, while we wait, here's some fun facts about book 2!
