Lucy Tempest Mermaid of Tritonia is set to be a newsletter exclusive that will come out alongside Cora's Hades & Persephone trilogy!
This question contains spoilers... (view spoiler)
Lucy Tempest Hi Celia!

Due to them both being more mythology-based than fairy tale, Mermaid of Tritonia is due to be a newsletter-exclusive and act as a sort of prequel to Cora's story.
Lucy Tempest Hi Celia!

The final edits of The Faerie Prince took longer than initially anticipated, along with that I got ill and that led to me collapsing and hitting my head incredibly hard. I'm currently recovering from a minor brain injury, but the book will be out on April 7th!
Lucy Tempest I don't know if it counts as a fairy tale, but Hades & Persephone!

It's due to be the grande finale of my series :)

Lucy Tempest Usually, ideas come to me when I see something I really like or think has wasted potential-- side characters that could have been given more page-time or things to do, mentioned concepts and ideas that were never explored, and plots with missed opportunities.

My response to those is to write down what I would have done if this were my world/character/plotline and everything unfolds from there.

Inspiration to put together everything and start the story kicks in when I create the best character to accompany the idea. Without the right protagonist, the story can't go anywhere.
Lucy Tempest I'm currently working on the second book in the series, Prince of Cahraman ! It's the follow-up to Thief of Cahraman and Part 2 of the Cahraman Trilogy.

You can pre-order it now!
Lucy Tempest I take a brief break from my story, a day or so, and watch shows or movies in the same genre as research. They help me unwind and jog my imagination.

A lot of new ideas and solutions pretty much tackle me mid-episode :D
