Right...how do I do this again? Ahem, OK. Looks like I'm breaking two of my most sacred rules.
One: I'm doing another book besides a main project.
Two: I'm writing a romance novel.
Woah, woah, woah! Hang on before you back away. It's still a fantasy with all the good lore and magic stuff from NR. But since the only romance I know how to write is angst this will be outside my usual wheelhouse.
Familar but different.
Now, I cannot garuntee this will not be spoilers for NR as a whole so if you want to keep that intrigue then I get it, go on. I won't mind. But trust me, you'll be missing out on the best character. Scratch that. There's 100% spoilers for NR so be WARNED.
So, welcome to my entry for the ONC 2023. Affectionately dubbed, the 5am lesbian romance (genuinely, the title took 90% of the work) here's hoping this years entry makes shortlist. ^^
Enjoy!
