How does an author celebrate finishing off a 160k word long manuscript and sending it to her editor?

Now that Beast of Zarall is complete and with my editor, I can finally set a release date.

22nd July 2025

Only a few months away! ARCs will be ready in June, and preorder will start soon. You can find a full chapter from Beast of Zarall here, starting from exactly where Lion of Zarall ended.

In the meantime, come join me on my Facebook group. That’s right, I started a secret not-so-secret Facebook group for purebred beast-loving readers. Come join us Inside the Arena.

I didn’t do a writing bootcamp this month, because I was editing. But I did join a fun collab with other authors on Instagram.

I also had a huge sale event for Lion of Zarall, and I joined my first SYKD. Although it was only very small (8 authors), it went way better that I anticipated.

I had about 24 new subscribers join my Newsletter this month (join us if you haven’t already).

Check out the below excerpt from Beast of Zarall. If you’re wondering whether authors have their favourite scenes in their books, I can definitely say yes, and this is an excerpt from my absolute favourite scene, where Beast gets really, really MAD.

“A thrumming, pulsing anger pulsed beneath his skin, rolling through him like an avalanche. It scorched through the filth, searing his flesh from the inside out, scouring him to the bone.

Fuck.

You.“

Unedited excerpt from Beast of Zarall

Next month, I will focus on a secret project (it’s not another book, it’s a sort of an art project. Hint: Lion would LOVE this). Leave a comment and guess what.
