Usually, in my books, someone, somewhere, is a genuine good person, a real hero.... But in this fantasy romance, NO ONE'S A HERO. Everyone has flaws, no one is an ideal example of humanity, and, I think it's incredibly fitting.
Ohhh, it's funny that you mention this because the next Zyearth book is based off a character's journal. XD Matt is basically truthful to a fault. He's not good at lying anyway. If he feels that he can't tell the truth about something, he just leaves it out.

Susan Savage Lee@susansavagelee.bsky.social · 2d agoWhat’s one question you’re tired of answering as a writer? If I have a book published. Not because someone wants to actually read it, but more so they can classify me as a “real” writer…or not #writingq #WritingCommunity
"Why don't you write human characters?" usually followed up with "They'd sell better!" Because I don't WANT to write human characters! I want to write furry characters! :P

That one IS infuriating for exactly that reason yes. (My only criteria for someone being a 'writer' is 'did you put words on a page?') I think it's 'What do you write?' - It's logical, but so broad it's kinda draining. I have a few stock answers to it to keep conversations flowing. #writingA

"Oh, you're an author, anything I'd know?" The question is really, "Are you a household name?" And I'm sorry, grocery store cashier, but I don't think anyone who was would be shopping here. I tend to just say, "Probably not." But they don't like that answer. #writingq #WritingCommunity

"Oh, you're a writer?" 98% of the time when this question comes from strangers, it is so condecending. They don't give a shit, they just want to know if you're a "real" author (tradpub), if they've heard of anything you've done, or how much harder they should judge you for your made up hobby job.

You can find my books pretty much everywhere in paperback, hardcover, large print, ebook, or audiobook, though most bookstores probably need to order in a copy. Since it's a sequential series, you probably want to start with Eyrie (GryphIns 1) and work your way from there =] books2read.com/eyrie
Cyrus@013enterprises.bsky.social · last wk.I haven't *not* wanted any of this. Where would I even go to find your books :0 Also what would the recommended reading order be
Yay! Happy to help =] (If you need recommendations for other gryphon series, too, don't hesitate to ask. There's a lot of good ones out there, especially if you know what you're looking for.)
Finch@machine-finch.bsky.social · 4d agoGot into the series thanks to this post and couldn't be happier :3
Between the releases of Opinicus (GryphIns #7) and Pridelord (#8), about once a month, I used to get little sketches from @flamsinger.bsky.social speculating on all the weirdest gryphons and the ways they'd move and fly, and it made checking my email a fun way to end the writing day =] #spoilers
Following @davidperlmutter.bsky.social now and think you too @oldschoolevil.bsky.social would like the cut of his jib.

#AwesomeCharacters Maple is definitely the Supreme Cinnamon Roll of my cast. She’s an absolute sweetheart with a bubbly optimism she spreads like sunshine. Even after becoming a mother, she still maintains that warm aura & is a devoted matriarch alongside Orelia. Just don’t ever ask her to cook!🤣
