Odessa sacrificed herself for Anora. Now Anora lives in captivity in endless night. The Darkling call her blood sacred. The Sylph call her inevitable. Arcalane, the last archangel, is sent to kill her, but the closer he comes, the harder it is to believe the story he was told.

Self-publishing on Amazon is a double-edged sword. It’s easy to launch, and just as easy to keep editing. For me, the convenience made it hard to stop tweaking and commit.
My advice:
Don't publish too soon
Covers matter more than you think
Marketing/networking never ends.

Drop the last line you wrote...no context.

Here's mine: The wind moved gently, and the water sang quietly in the distance. And for the first time in a long while, they both felt a little less alone.

@Lavishrareness Very cool. It's the premise foe the book i wrote!

[Jared Bates @JBatesAuthor]

Would you read a dark fantasy sword & sorcery gothic mashup with vampire kingdoms, oathbound knights, elder gods, a dark prophecy, and a love story at its heart?
Think Castlevania meets the Witcher with a touch of Game of Thrones.

@themopinomicon Sweet! That's the premise of my book.

[Jared Bates @JBatesAuthor]

@Asheborne0228 Right on! That's the premise for my book!

[Jared Bates @JBatesAuthor]

@AuthorTMJONES It's good to hear that there's someone out there is writing adventure. It seems romantacy is dominating the market.
