Did you think I forgot? I did not. Ungovernables: Opening The Sky arrives in 2027! Are you ready? (It's only a partial reveal, but W_twtsbyShanice (on twitter) has done a brilliant job on the cover)

So, when should I do a full cover reveal for Opening The Sky???

Two things! 1. Tomorrow is the title and partial cover reveal for book 2 of Ungovernables. 2. Poisoning The Well is getting an audiobook!!!! The lovely and talented Rayne Potter is narrating for me!!! I'm super excited!! #booksky #readingcommunity

Tomorrow 👀👀👀 #readingcommunity #booksky

On October 23rd I'm sharing book 2 of Ungovernables title!! 😊😊 And maybe a sneak peak at the cover 👀👀👀 #booksky #readingcommunity

Ungovernables book 2 title reveal dropping on October 23!!

Day 10: #FantasyIndiesSeptember Rylen prefers knowledge over power as he believes knowledge is real power. Jamie just wants to know what's going on 🤣😅 he'll settle for someone bring him into the loop, please.

Day 10 #SeptemberThrills “His body is marked worse than some of our top military leaders.” Sylen’s quiet thought slithered into Jamie’s mind. “The first time I saw him, I could barely believe the harm a human enacted upon him.”

Day 9: #SeptemberWorldbuilders Mostly the same foods we have in real life. The Wastes have several fungi that are poisonous for humans and certain Benign races, but Ungovernable races can freely it them (if they wanted).

Day 9: #FantasyIndiesSeptember Jamie wouldn't want any magic or superpowers, but that's because having magic or inhuman abilities that harm humans is despised in the Protectorate Nation. Rylen already has abilities that could be called superpowers, and he's happy with them 👀

Day 9: #SeptemberThrills "You sound like a Daimon," Ari shook his head, "and that colour doesn't suit you." Ari to *redacted*

“That’s right. Struggle. Fight with everything you have, it won’t change the outcome. You’ll do exactly what I tell you.” He plunged the scalpel into Rylen’s chest. “Sure, it would have been easier if I didn’t have to break you physically as well as mentally, but at least I’ll get to enjoy myself.”

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #writingprompt Duels of Blood (protective boyfriend mode activated 🤭)

Day 8: #FantasyIndiesSeptember Rylen liked school-ish. He pushed himself as he feared his adoptive parents would kick him and his little brother out if he didn't do well. His favourite class was music. Jamie felt apathetic toward school, but saw a point to doing well.

Day 8: #SeptemberThrills A little unedited snippet 😊

Day 8: #SeptemberWorldbuilders Sirens have a dish made of vegetables, potatoes and hearts (human). It's essentially a stew with a final ingredient that requires the blood of a deceased siren. The meal is only eaten during the passing of a beloved member of the community.

#WIPSnips Apologies for the unedited nature of this one, it's a relatively new chapter. #snippet #writingcommunity #WriteSky

Day 7: #SeptemberWorldbuilders The Wastes don't have seasons. Temperatures remain constant and the only rain that falls is upside down rain that acts as a barrier between the Wastes and the rest of the world. When you enter the Wastes, if there is no wildlife around, it seems like a frozen world.

I'll link to my linktree here: linktr.ee/v.c.boldick

It’s over already!😭 Also, cute new pfp! Happy #Septversary! I’ll promo my site where you can find all my published stories including my debut mystery novel (archaeologist x frenemy get tangled in a deadly web of lies) and my various short stories!

Day 7: #FantasyIndiesSeptember I didn't expect book 2 to be so hard for me to write. In order to get it down, I tapped into a part of myself that I keep closed off, but that was the only way I could get the raw emotions out for Rylen’s POV chapters. @chesneyinfalt.bsky.social @lvrussell.bsky.social

Day 7: #SeptemberThrills The sober version of Rylen is incredibly responsible. 10 years ago him is another story. Jamie is also responsible almost to a fault. He will not let go of responsibility well after it's time too (which can be a good thing 👀) @jadeblack21.bsky.social

I'm not sure 😅 I'm terrible with flirting so my characters have a handicap there, but maybe this: "You’re always so secretive when you write me songs. Come on. Please… just one verse.” “Kir, darling,” he crooned, “Patience. It’s not done yet. Its not perfect, not like you.”

Day 6: #FantasyIndiesSeptember The next WIP I work on will be Anhelos book 3. #SeptemberThrills Rylen and Jamie are incredibly used to the sight of blood (for different reasons 🤣) @jadeblack21.bsky.social @chesneyinfalt.bsky.social @lvrussell.bsky.social

Jamie really wants someone to listen to him, I'm not sure he picked the right person 😬

Day 5: #FantasyIndiesSeptember Prison itself was different than he expected. Fellow prisoners avoided him, either because they heard about the charges, or because they liked his music. He preferred that, he had no desire to be an entertainment piece. @chesneyinfalt.bsky.social @lvrussell.bsky.social

Day 5: #SeptemberThrills Kaz comes to mind when bringing up fun loving characters. He doesn't take life too seriously (much to Ilia's chagrin) and is looking for the positive side most of the time. The only time that's not true is when friends are in danger. @jadeblack21.bsky.social

Day 5: #Septversary Jamie will ask for help once he gets well and truly stuck, that said, if someone notices he's struggling and they offer to help, he'll accept it. Rylen learned the hard way to ask for help and he often falls into old habits of keeping things to himself.

#WIPSnips Just a little video entry that the MC finds in the Researcher's lab 👀👀👀

Day 3: #FantasyIndiesSeptember Most children go to Protectorate run schools (where they start being fed a lot of propaganda disguised as education). Chikdren of Ungovernable races might go to specialized schools, or there families will have them be educated within the community.

Day 2: #SeptemberWorldbuilders Spring is relatively warm in Tearhan and the Protectorate Nation. Most festivals take place in summer, but spring time is the period for the Nymphs to shine and they have their Festival of Four. It's a two week celebration to honour the four deities.

#WIPSnips Rylen dipped his head slowly and *redacted* pulled out a tablet. He pressed a few things on the screen until a black and white camera feed appeared with a play button in the middle. The frontman paused before hitting play. #writesky #writingcommunity #writingprompts

Day 2: #septversary Rylen would love to be himself, but society despises Ungovernables, and he's forced to play a different role. Jamie on the other hand can authentically be himself until he realizes that who he is, is part of the problem (then he has to make choices 👀👀)

Day 2: #SeptemberThrills "I'm hot, and I wield pretty privilege like a fuc**** weapon." -Ari, everyone #FantasyIndiesSeptember Most of the time I choose my next read by what I'm feeling in the moment. Unless I've signed up for an ARC, then I will likely switch to that book.

#Septversary In book 2 of Ungovernables, community is one of the central plot points as both MC's feel alone in their respective struggles, and it follows each MC as they "build" a community (one in a healthy way, the other, not so much).
