The World of Wayhaven - The Town Hall

Sitting beside the library—a space often used for social events—makes this small set of buildings where the Town Hall is placed feel almost as much a heart of the community as The Square does.

Converted from an older building, later decorations were added to the plain red brick structure to make it feel more welcoming: stone plaques carved with braided patterns, a couple of soaring columns that mark either side of the entrance, and windows etched with floral designs rather than sim...

Unseen Scene, Bobby Kiss Reveal— Book Three, Chapter Five (Nate POV)

“…It's always better when you're alone."

That one word from this particular human’s mouth sends a wash of nausea through Nate.

“Alone?” The word repeats from Nate sending a chill of dread through him that he does a good job at not letting show on his expression.

The reporter is smug enough without adding to his ego with Nate’s true reaction.

But he apparently doesn’t do as good a job at masking it as he hoped, as Bobby’s delighted gaze snaps to...

Ask of the month - May 2024

It's that time again - our Ask of The Month is here! We want to know, did you surrender to the temptation of that kiss with Adam/Ava in Book Three?

TFW you know your MC should be totally terrified of the villain before them but is actually more like…

I will reiterate though, for those thinking of romancing the villain, that they are not redeemable and they are a villain in every sense of the word…I mean, they're still totally hot and some of the things they say might make you break into a hot sweat, but still...I'm just saying now in warning—not ...

The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update+ 17/May/2024

A slower week than I would have liked due to my wrists deciding to be super annoying, lol!

But my new ergonomic keyboard arrived on Thursday, so hopefully it’ll be back to normal pace from now on! I did have an old ergonomic keyboard, but it wasn’t exactly up to the task anymore. To be fair to it, it had seen me through part of Book One, and then all of Book Two and Three, so it definitely was a well-worked keyboard! :D

This week I focused on the demo section. I’m desperate ...

It's here!

FINALLY! Mishka has her new, shiny ergonomic keyboard to help ease the pain in her wrists as she types out Book Four at a furious speed! ⌨️

A Different Extra Glimpse - Behind The Scenes of Book Four (spoiler-ish)

For the Extra Glimpse this month, I'm sharing this pic of one of my reference sheets I have pinned up on my wall because I am WAAAAAY too excited about the scene I'm currently working on not to share a hint of it with you guys! :D

It does give quite a major hint at what is to come, but you guys are so amazing with your extra support that I really wanted to share something a bit extra with you, hehe!

Stat Selection...

The key moments stats section in Book Four is reserved for only the most crucial decisions made in Book Three. It's where all the important choices are highlighted and analysed. Quite a serious business, no room for frivolity here hehe!

The Wayhaven Chronicles - Update+ (Sort of) 10/May/2024

Hey everyone, 

Nai here - I'm afraid Mishka has had real problems with her wrists this week, she's in quite a lot of pain so there's no update this week. Buuuut, she always wants to make sure you have the snippet from the Update+ so here it s :D

Character Series - Solomon Verda

We're back with the "character series" this month and it's Verda's turn.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what developments happen in Verda's route on Book 4. After all, he is married to a Supernatural so that should prove...interesting.

Monthly Bonus Content #2— Adam/Ava Masquerade Ball Mask

So I had a very specific idea of what I wanted for A's mask! I didn't want the usual curvy, fantasy style that the others will likely have—you know, the more typical mask you think of when thinking masquerade, lol!

My inspiration for this came from the fact A was a knight, and I really wanted to bring that into the mask. So it's based much more on the idea of it looking like the front of a helmet. So the more rectangular eye holes, the thick metal pieces, etc.

I'm super pleased ...

TFW your editor picks up on how Adam/Ava is dressed all smart for a meeting with the MC, but has their shirt unbuttoned quite a bit only if they're in a romance...

It's amazing what happens once you admit your feelings to a person...Adam/Ava is certainly learning that now, hehe! ;D

The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update+ 03/April/2024

Do you ever have a week where there’s so much going on, but it feels really good to tick so many tasks off your list?

Well, I had one of those weeks, hehe! :D

First up was finishing up all the edits to the demo section, which went super smoothly, and it was great fun reading the comments from them. I always appreciate how they take the extra time to write what they’re enjoying, or their fun reactions to things that happen as they edit!

Then it was onto social media days!...

Monthly Bonus Content #1—Current Writing Scene Aesthetic

So, I'm very excited about Book Four already, hehe! 😄

And you know I'm terrible with spoilers, so I'm trying super hard already not spoil anything! But I did want to share my excitement and what's coming up...but in a kind of vague, out of context way to make sure nothing is spoiled, lol.

I asked Nai if she would be willing to make an aesthetic board for the scene I'm currently writing, and she came up with this fantastic piece!

Hopefully it will give you all a vibe of wh...

Lots happening this week!

The edits and bug testing came back, so I’ll be starting on that! I know the demo is later than I’d hoped due to—still ongoing and super annoying!—internet issues, but at least the editing process is going as smoothly as I was hoping so no one is getting too overwhelmed!

Once those edits go in, I’ll send them out to my next readers and sensitivity readers, then it’ll be ready to go!

And speaking of the demo, I thought you guys might like...

That Bit Extra - Adam/Ava's Easier Side...

I give a nod as I clap my hands together. "Sounds like it should be a walk in the park then."

"Actually it will take place in the forest, not the park," Adam/Ava states.

I slide my gaze to him/her. "That's not—" My words fall short as he/she smiles at me. "Are you actually making a joke?"

He/She sighs. "It's not so rare that it should be a surprise."

"It kind of is," I reply with a chuckle. "But it shouldn't be. So keep it up."...

Monthly Bonus # 4 - Promise of Forever - Nat Spring Scenario

The Seagull’s Cry isn’t my usual haunt. It’s further from my apartment than Laycott’s Bar and Grill, so convenience of location wins out when I do get the chance to head out.

Unfortunately, I’m not exactly able to take in the smoky atmosphere and surprisingly good live music playing like a lulling ambient tune as it fills the entirety of the dark wood-panelled space.

Eventually, at least, lol. Internet troubles yet again meant it took longer to get to them, but it finally went through.

Thankfully, lack of internet didn’t stop me from getting writing on Chapter Two! It’s really nice to get back into writing, especially because the next bit is full of melodrama, excitement….and some big changes for the MC! As well as much less coding which melts my brain, lol!
