Hi! I'm izzy~ I usually write dark & urban fantasy, but right now I'm prepping a sweet romantasy for Kickstarter in February! It's in prelaunch now, and I try to keep up to date on progress www.kickstarter.com/projects/izz... #FantasyIndiesAugust #writing #WritingCommunity #romantasy #skypirates

A betrothed princess flees and a sky pirate captain is hired to bring her home.
Princess Tessa is engaged to her father’s advisor, Lord Xensor. Magic is taboo, and still Lord Xensor practices in secret. To protect her family and kingdom from his evil rule, Tessa runs away from home.
The royal family hires James, a sky pirate captain, to bring her back. Meanwhile, Lord Xensor sends Craven, his right-hand man, after her. James wants nothing to do with the politics and only dreams of wealth and adventure. Craven is a loyal dog who will do anything he’s told.
Tessa doesn’t know what Lord Xensor has planned for her, but she knows it can’t be good. She’ll do anything to keep him from the throne, even if it means they all have to face some hard truths in the process.

pink background with flower on it. Text at the top which reads: "Two Letters author: Tessa"

Text in the middle reads: " Dear mother and father,
I’m sorry I have to do this, but I cannot marry Lord Xensor. I do not love him, and he is more dangerous than you know. Please do not look for me.
Love,
Tessa"

Text at the bottom reads: " Dear Diary,
I’ll be gone before the sun rises. If my parents will not see reason, I must leave. "

Currently working on a draft of a new scene for To the Sky's chapter 14. The smallest of a sneak peek here #booksky #WritingCommunity #romantasy #skypirates

brown background with text at the bottom which reads: Chapter 14 New Scene Draft.

The text in the middle is cut off on the right, but reads:
Jonathan hadn’t covered the cargo holds during Tessa’s tour of Coincidence...ship, and the rooms were dimly lit. Wooden crates, barrels, and shelves held...were labeled and sorted so thoroughly even she could have found anything...Jonathan carried an illuminated lantern while Tessa held onto the clipboard...swirled with thoughts of how to get away from Jonathan and into Spiford...“What's on your mind?” Jonathan asked as he traded the lantern with the clip...scribbled something down, then glanced back at Tessa...She sighed. Her face must have given her away. “Nothing,” she lied. “I’ve just...Jonathan made a sympathetic face. “That’s not good. Maybe you should go see...“Go see Ruth for what?” A woman with fiery red curls came down the stairs...meet you. I’m Ruth, Coincidence’s Sister of the Moon.”...Tessa gave Ruth a gentle handshake with her free hand. “It’s nice to meet you...“Sure thing, Tessa.”

James's description in his first chapter of To the Sky. Want more? Check out the #Kickstarter over here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/izz... #booksky #WritingCommunity #romantasy #skypirates

White background with a black border. A pirate in the bottom right corner.

Text on the white background which reads: James—or Jim, as his friends called him—stood at average height with a slightly muscular, tanned build from years of hard labor and adventure. He wore a black vest and matching trousers with gold trimming that cost a bit extra, but really shimmered in the right light. A white, puffy-sleeved shirt stuck out from under the vest.

On top of his head was a black tricorn decorated with a rose at the center, and a large, white feather poking out. James told people it was a roc feather, but, in reality, he'd bought it at an open-air market from an elephant bird farmer. His blond hair was combed under his hat, though tousled from traveling The Twelve Skies.

Did you know To the Sky started out as a literary RP? Here's the first post from James's PoV! Want to see how the book has changed? Check out the Kickstarter link: www.kickstarter.com/projects/izz... #booksky #WritingCommunity #romantasy #skypirates

red background with white text which reads:

"What a crafty man he was. Who else would have thought to send one of their own men in as a spy? Undercover agents were definitely the in thing. James could not help patting himself on the back, and he would be more than sure to gloat in his opponent’s face when he had the opportunity. Poor guy. While Jim knew his enemy was a clever man, he could never hope to compete with him. It was unfortunate, really, that he would be forced to go up against someone as brilliant as Captain Jim. Perhaps the next time he would think before picking the wrong side."

red background with white text which reads: The only trouble with being sneaky was James had to remain quiet until the very last moment. Oh, how he loathed not being able to be flashy and loud with his entrances. They were sort of his trademark. But every dog had to learn new tricks lest he become obsolete. And with any luck, his amount of sneaky craftiness would scare his opponent more than being loud and flashy. Even more luck would permit him another opportunity later in the future to be flamboyant and eccentric. For now, though, he found himself creeping along the trail left behind by Daniel, his First Mate and most fantastically loyal man that ever did live."

red background with white text which reads: "He wondered as he traveled along whether or not Sauron’s guard had noticed the tiny red clothes tied to inconspicuous things such as low-hanging branches, flowers, or even small rocks. James certainly did, and they were ever so helpful. Pulling his sidearm from where it rested at his hip, he entered the small clearing from whence he heard voices. There stood two figures, while another two were huddled near a tree. One of them he recognized as his man, the other as his target. What was wrong with her, though? The businessman in him worried his pay might suffer should she be returned in less than perfect condition."

red background with white text which reads:

"“Oh, Daniel, I do love you,” he announced as he came into sight.

The kneeling man rose to reply, "And I you, Captain," before drawing his own gun."

Ten Paces by Izzy King

Gun held down at his side, Phillip West lowered his eyes to his feet. He drummed his other leg with his fingers. “Are you sure about this, son?” he asked.

Kolten West was Phillip’s oldest child and his only son. They had never really seen eye to eye. That had only worsened as Kolten grew up. In his twenties now, he was old enough to start his own family and argue with his own son. Instead, he insisted on dueling his father. This slight had been the final one as far as Kolten was concerned.

Kolten’s eyes blazed with ferocity when he nodded.

Phillip’s stomach twisted. This was really happening. “Okay,” Phillip said.

A quick shot would be all it would take, and neither of their lives would ever be the same. Phillip knew this, but he also knew if he pulled his shot Kolten would never trust him again. They had to do this, and they had to do it right.

Finn—Kolten’s best friend—stood off the center of the grassy knoll. Stairs led downward right behind him. He stepped forward and raised his hand. “You know the rules, both of you?”

An image of text which reads:
Phillip eyed Kolten who only nodded. He had no words left in him and Phillip would not try to wrench more from him, no matter how much he wanted to.

“Yes,” Phillip said to Finn.

Phillip and Kolten turned away from each other. Finn counted their ten paces. He hollered and Phillip’s ears rung as he spun around, lifted his arm, and shot.

Kolten made no sound as he gripped his chest. His knees buckled and his eyes watered as he glanced up at his father. Phillip dropped his gun and ran at top speed to catch his falling son.

“I’m so sorry, Kolt. I’m so sorry,” Phillip wailed, but it was too late. Kolten slumped in Phillip’s arms.

Prompt: The Goodbye

I listened to You Shouldn't Have Come Here by Jeneva Rose. Unfortunately, it wasn't for me #bookreview #booksky #thriller

White text on the left which reads: Book review. The cover to You Shouldn't Have Come Here by Jeneva Rose at the center. Text beside the cover which reads: i listened to the audiobook. a thriller where a lady stays with a man on his ranch that she found through Airbnb. There's lots of tension, some spice, and it's told from both the man and woman's points of view. Two yellow stars below the cover with.

Text below the stars which reads: I give this book 2 stars because I loved the story right up until the ending. The ending changed everything, and in order for it to work the author had to withhold a lot of information from the reader.

The twist wasn’t my favorite, because it sort of came out of nowhere. It ruined the whole book for me, and the only reason I don’t give this 0 stars is I did enjoy the ride right up until the ending.

I read Cappuccinos, Cupcakes, and a Corpse by Harper Lin last month! #bookreview #booksky #cozymystery

a teal background with pink text boxes. It says "Book Review" with the cover to Cappuccinos, Cupcakes, and a Corpse on the left. 5 filled in stars are on the right. The text boxes read:

A woman moves home after her mother's death to run the family's café. She finds her neighbor dead on her way from work and ends up reuniting with his son.

Despite being a murder mystery, it was a sweet story of two childhood friends getting to know each other again. I adored the book the whole way through. The MC spends most of the book trying to look for the murderer but ends up on the wrong path until the end when she finds out who it is. It's a sweet story despite being centered around death. Nicely grounded in reality.

I checked and there's like 11 of them? I might read the next one when I have an opening in my TBR

Editing chapter 4 of To the Sky. Here's a little snippet from the scene I'm working on If you like what you see, check out the #Kickstarter page: www.kickstarter.com/projects/izz... #booksky #WritingCommunity #romantasy #skypirates

green and white striped background, with a clipboard at the center of the page. the text on the clipboard reads: James cleared this throat. “I’ve got something fun,” he said and waved the rolled up map at Daniel.

Daniel kept his eyes down. “Oh yeah?”

“Whatcha doing there?” James asked, his own interesting thing forgotten. Daniel’s thing was more important, obviously.

“Chore list,” Daniel said and waved the pen over the clipboard.
James sighed. That wasn’t fun at all. He unrolled the map and dangled it in front of Daniel, sure to get his attention this time.

“What’s that?” Daniel asked, finally turning to James. “A map?”

“Not just any map. The princess’s map,” James said.

“The…princess?” Daniel obviously wasn’t following.

green and white striped background, with a clipboard at the center of the page. the text on the clipboard reads: James sighed. “Did they bring her belongings yet?”

Daniel said, “Oh, that big chest was her belongings? It’s in one of the spare rooms now. I figured it was something from the palace for you.”

“Keep up, Psy. That chest belongs to the princess, as does this map.” James wagged the map in front of Daniel.

Daniel shook James off. “Okay, but why?”

“You hear she’s missing? Well, we’ve been hired to find her. And this map is going to lead us right to her,” James said, beaming. His chest puffed out just a bit and he laid his hands on his hips.

“Oh, was that the confidential job at the palace? Interesting…” Daniel said. He turned back to the clipboard.

Since her arrival, she had taken off her chest armor and sat it against the back wall. In its place, she wore her dirty, sleeveless undershirt.
Disgust colored her face as she glanced up at Craven.
She got to her feet and towered over the assassins as she came to the front of her cell. Her thick, calloused fingers wrapped around the bars

A couple comment from my beta readers comparing To the Sky to The Princess Bride. If that's your vibe, check out the #Kickstarter which pre-launched earlier this week! www.kickstarter.com/projects/izz... #booksky #WritingCommunity #romantasy #skypirates

a brown, crumbled piece of paper with a book cover at the center with a ship surrounded by roses. the top reads in white: Comments from Beta Readers. the comments are white text with black background. the first one reads: ooh kinda giving princess bride vibes and I'm here for it. and the second one reads: Rather anachronistic; which could be the point. Everything so far is rather storybookish. I get the vibe of Princess Bride where everything being over-the-top is the point of the story. If that's the purpose then I think that's excellent.

To the Sky #Kickstarter pre-launches very soon! (I'm aiming for Friday, but I have some things holding me up. Fingers crossed, please) Here's a sneak peek of the book's description. Keep an eye out of you're interested! #romantasy #booksky #WritingCommunity

a brown background with text that reads: Magic is banned in Winderia as it's the closest location to The Everreach where Vapors—ghosts, imps, and worse—reside and occasionally pour from to disrupt the world.

Princess Tessa has grown up in Windfall, the capital of Winderia, and is expected to marry soon as her aging father wants a successor. Since Tessa has been reluctant up to now to find a proper husband, her parents announce her engagement to Lord Xensor, the king's advisor. Tessa is distraught and runs away from home.

Meanwhile, Captain James finds himself at a job auction where the auctioneer offers up a job from the royal family—confidential, of course, but there are whispers of the missing princess. James jumps on this one with images of the grateful princess dancing through his mind.

Craven is sent in secret by Lord Xensor to bring Tessa home, too. Maybe ransom her back to the royal family and make Lord Xensor look useful.

Will Captain James get to Tessa first? Will they fly away and have all the adventures in the world? Or will Craven catch her and bring her back to marry the evil Lord Xensor?

A quote from my current draft of To the Sky, my princess x sky pirate fantasy book Coming to #Kickstarter in July! (pre-launch in February) #booksky #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Roses in the background with white text on a pink rectangle that reads: To the Sky: Chapter 5 Beta Draft 2. Her big eyes turned to James. “Have you ever been in love? With anyone other than Coincidence, of course.” She laughed at her own joke, but James felt it was a leading question. Still, he answered it.
“I’ve never had the time, no. I don’t stay anywhere long enough to fall in love. My life is too complicated for that.” From an open chest, James removed a glass, white dove. He handed it over to Tessa. “You may keep that,” he said. “As a token of our time together.”
Tessa flushed once again. But she plowed on. “I’ve never been in love, either,” she said. “But I’m betrothed.”
“That must be hard,” James said absentmindedly as he examined a golden globe. He spun it, letting it land on the kingdom of Winderia before spinning it again.
