Happy New Year! I have decided that 2024 is the year of spreading my work far and wide. As an indie author, I’ve decided to simply give away a whole bunch of my backlisted novels. They had wonderful launches and reviews when they first debuted, and now I just want people to read and enjoy them.  So spread the news, the following books are now available for free or for a very minimal token payment on certain platforms.

As J.M. Frey

The Untold Tale: Wattpad | Radish | AO3 The Skylark’s Song: Wattpad Triptych: Wattpad | Radish Time and Tide: Wattpad City by Night: Radish As Peggy Barnett (spicy)

Naughty & Nice: Radish Dear Abby: Radish Lips Like Ice: Wattpad | Radish Some of these books only have a few chapters available at present, but make sure you’re subscribed to my profile on each platform, and you’ll be notified when new chapters drop. They’ll be posted in their entirety in 2024.

Happy Reading!

The cover for Changeling, book one of the Fey Touched Trilgoy, was created by the fantastic people at Getcovers, and I couldn't be happier with it.

I honestly went into the design phase with only an incredibly vague idea of what I might want included, and they knocked it out of the park.

And now, I'm one step closer to having a publication date set in stone...

Yes, I'm doing the whimsical & whacky & MeBrady is going to be the "Editor" of Starlight Compass, my fictional world's newspaper. My world building is immersive & interactive 😉 I'm setting up an email & there will be a letter to the editor section of the paper. I've been toying with the concept ever since I had a DM asking if I would be accepting advertisement requests for my paper. An eager indie author wanting their book featured in my newspaper already 🥰 Starlight Compass Spring Edition will be dropping very soon ;) #StarlightCompass #StarlightCove #NewportMills #WorldBuilding #authorlife #authors #writerscommunity #writersociety #writerlife #amwritingportalmystery #portalfantasy #cozyfantasy #365grateful #365gratitude #writing #WritingCommunity #igauthor #igwriter #igwrites #igauthorlife https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpf5al4PbO0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

QotD: If you were thrown into a competition to meet the love of your life, would you take part? Also, would it be a Prince/Princess or one of the competitors? Alright, time to talk about book 1.5 in The Faerie Tale Romance series, The Lily Gate by @hannasandvig TLG is a The Frog Prince/The Princess and the Frog retelling with a talking frog who loves sweets, a bachelorette competition, a half fae half human princess who takes charge of her own life, and a true love's kiss. You follow a young woman named Tuala, a fae princess who loves to bake and likes order just as much. This competition to find the love of her life her mother concocted should be simple enough. Fae princes from around the Seelie kingdom just need to take part in 3 competitions, and win each one and earn a . . . Kiss from her. Tuala isn't super stoked to kiss a bunch of guys, but her mother swears that a way to find love is to feel the sparks from their kiss. Alright, should be easy enough, except, someone Tuala was expecting to meet hasn't arrived, even though a talking green frog is telling her otherwise. This was the third book I read in this series. It was so fun and cute and I actually enjoyed the challenges in this bachelorette style competition. If you're a fan of The Frog Prince or The Princess and the Frog and just want a cute, fun, chill romancy filled read, give this story a try. I think you'll have a lot of fun 😁 . . . . #bookstagram #fantasybook #booksofig #readersofig #booknerd #booklover #bookworm #bookdragon #ilovebooks #bibliophile #bookcommunity #thefaerietaleromance #yafantasy #yabook #nafantasy #nabook #hannasandvig #romantasy #cozyfantasy #portalfantasy #romancebook #thefrogprince #retelling #thelilygate #indiebook #indieauthor https://www.instagram.com/p/CoxbNHzLNsO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Taking my hand you have waited that i gave a latest glace to that crew, above all to Captain Grave and Lou who were sorrounded by the other pirates who were saying them what they had to do and above all, where they would go.As Moonie i knew perfectly  that that scene it was the latest photo that i have would bring with me, when we would return in our era. Very slow i have seen each face of those…

Though firmly in the same realm of portal fantasy as "Alice In Wonderland," "Oz," and "Narnia," Jane Lindskold's "Over Where" novels have one big difference, as she explains in this exclusive interview about the third installment, "House Of Rough Diamonds." 📖⭕️

WORLDBUILDING THROUGH CULTURE

Writing a Secondary World book or series, and need some help constructing your setting?

Worldbuilding is more than just maps!

Creating a believable secondary world, with consistent internal logic, language, taboos, and politics can be tricky.

Luckily, this workbook is here to help you devise the best possible setting for your #SFF story.

Based on a lecture series I used to do one be before the pandemic, this is a workbook that's really meant and designed to WORK.

Write in it, paste in pictures, doodle, add extra notes or change your mind and erase things!

🌌𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗔𝗟 𝗙𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗔𝗦𝗬 𝗢𝗥 𝗙𝗔𝗜𝗥𝗬𝗧𝗔𝗟𝗘 𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗚?🌌 Do you prefer the thrill of discovering new realms through mysterious portals or the nostalgia of revisiting classic stories with a fresh twist? I love both portal fantasy and fairytale retellings. I can't choose between them. I can't decide, I love them both! ☺️ The thrill of discovery in portal fantasy and the nostalgia of familiar tales in fairytale retellings make for the perfect combination. The choice is yours, but one thing's for sure: both will transport you to places beyond your wildest imagination. 😍😍😍 So, tell me, which one would you choose? Portal fantasy, fairytale retelling, or a combination of both?

It was the start of the new year and whispers of change seemed to be in the air. Worlds apart, Rachel and Maya both glanced up at the sky simultaneously. Rachel saw a sleek airship carrying goods to a distant land. She held her breath as it passed, knowing she'd travel on an airship like that some day. Maya saw a Tarza Corp. drone aircraft burning as it spun helplessly towards the distant ground hundreds of levels below. She smiled, slightly. At least the poor lower city residents will have something to salvage tonight, she thought. And somewhere in Al'via, an ornate portal rested silently, sealed by powerful magic, waiting to be discovered. One day it would awaken. - - #portalfantasy #beautifulillustrations #lushcolour #fantasyartdaily https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm4T13xs4R9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

PERCY JACKSON x NARNIA Guanínké book 1 The Amulet of Kakata Meet Antagonist 1 of 2 Zigor Vivas, he's a grandfather with magic over earth, and he sucks hehe. I don't want to reveal too much at the moment, just in case it's spoilery, but he is a force against the kids in my story. I'm not really sure what else to say except look forward to my final character concept for now. I should have her posted tomorrow. . . . . #conceptartist #characterconcept #procreate #animestyle #oc #originalcharacter #taíno #taínomythology #animeartist #artistofig #artgram #procreateartist #wips #doodles #sketch #mythology #mgbook #fantasy #portalfantasy #mgfantasy #digitalartist #latinamericanartist #taok #guanínké #adlinkt https://www.instagram.com/p/CnCnnYhLfrD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
