Here’s My response:
I see the rage monster
you try to hide,
And I wonder if the monster
as you see it
is not but an injured animal within.
Injured animals strike
at anything within reach.
And as I refuse to leave your side...
Well perhaps you are not the monster
you think you are...
*note Right now this is sitting in the Kissed by Verse volume. I am not positive it fits the theme but I am also unsure it does not. My mind may change before publication of that volume.
2026 PAD Challenge Day 7
my response is:
under the midnight sky
tis easy to feel the hand
of the goddess
to receive moonlight blessings
and dance in the glory of the divine.
when the rest of the world sleeps
tis easy to feel the joy of nature
and revel in the beauty the gods
blessed upon us.
2026 PAD Challenge Day 6
okay I set up the prompts and I already did this one once because it was stuck in my head but I really am trying to do the pad challenge using the Fae Corps Publishing prompts so …
my response is :
daisy chains
tied us together
in flowers and paper
childhood memories
tree trimmings
and moments in the world
each one precious
each one unique
a chance to be
young eternally
2026 PAD Challenge Day 5
my response is:
all knowledge began
with the blank page,
a pen at the ready,
and oral tradition
ready to be written down.
without the blank page
the oral tradition dies
when the last storyteller
died without passing it on.
how much knowledge was forgotten
for the want of ink and paper,
or because the book was then burned?
2026 PAD Challenge Day 4
Serena’s response is:
Dripping ink pours
from every pore
as if it were my
lifeblood leaking
I need to write to survive
and still it drips freely
as if I am unable to use it
fast enough
2026 PAD Challenge
here is my response:
the child flies
on dreams given
lifted by faery wings
and soaring on
the breath of the gods.
For what else could they do
to weave dreams into
some form of reality.
faery wings and dreams
lifted by the breath of the gods
to be eternal and alift.
2026 PAD Challenge Day 1
my response…
in the twilight,
I found the perfect
partner.
dancing to the song
sung by the crickets
at the setting sun.
no steps out of place,
the rhythm of our souls
perfect as our bodies sway.
This one was the one with the most votes. I will be using the other ones as the choices for the next one. Due to the chaos of my life and health I believe Rising Madness will be releasing in April.
I am currently looking for people who are interested in review copies (ebook only ) of any of my own books in exchange for an honest review on any of the online outlets. I want to boost my books on the algorithm a bit. This includes my work and Serena Mossgraves work. If you are interested just let me know and we’ll talk about the format you would like to get and an email to share it to.
I am already starting the new volume so maybe I can get back into the daily routine again.
So The next topic in the group is Useful Services and where to find them.
Most publishing projects need an Editor, A book cover Designer, a formatter, and A Marketer
Self publishing means you need to hire these or do it yourself. Most editors advertise their business on social media. Same with the formatter. You can find Cover designers with a quick google search. Marketers are a bit more difficult to find.
Here are a couple of editors I recommend:
I do all of Fae Corps Covers So I do not know who to recommend here. Nor do I know who to recommend on the Marketing. Our Gal is the best.
Next Week I hope to discuss the Topic of Basic Marketing.
So The next topic in the group is Paperback/Hardback needs.
This one is simple. For both you need the Pdf of the Manuscript. The Difference is the cover size. You will need a larger cover for Hardback. This seems like a small post, but this week I am still fighting the exhaustion and felt like a simple post might be best.
There are places…Like Bookvault and a few others that offer things like sprayed edges and foiled pages and such if you want to do something really fancy. Those places do cost more for publishing.
I will be discussing the different places to find useful services for publication Next Week. It should be a much longer post. Soon, the Topic of Basic Marketing will be discussed.
