Brien Feathers's Blog: Shenanigans

December is my favorite month of the year. I can’t be sad looking at a fully lit Xmas tree. So, thinking wrapping up Adua, my first series, would feel like an accomplishment, I pushed to finish Book 7 right before the holidays. I expected it to add to the celebration. Instead, I ended up incredibly …

This is the first book from Tiktok recommend that I really love. I wasn’t a fan of how exposition-heavy it was in the beginning, but the middle— the fight— and how Mamoru’s story is handled is worth all the stars in the sky. Phenomenal.

Heya guys! Book 6 is ready… well, almost. I’ve sent the final draft to my editor. If you’re in my newsletter, you’d know I’ve been having a difficult time with Ayasu Drake on this one.

I've finished the companion story to Book 5, "Loss for the Prince", and I am finally outlining Book 6... gotta tell you, I'm loving this one (as I do all my books, lol). If you've requested the ARC of book 5, you should receive it next week.

If not, why not do it now? Email me anytime before the pub date of Sept 15th, and I'll put in my ARC team, the list of most awesome people in the realm.

Also, I'm currently on a blog book tour. If you're interested, please check out my FB page.

If you're reading this, thank you for the support,

The way I write is that I outline first (obsessively), but certain beats that feel alright in the outline don't work out as scenes, so my first draft is my extended outline where I'm feeling everything out.

The second draft is my real first draft, and yesterday, I've written, "The End of Book V" on my second draft. It means everything is in working order.

Now I edit for the writing itself, the style, then send it to my copy editor, and viola... Book 5. So, I'd say Book 5 of the Light of Adua Series is right on track for its late August launch for presale, and September for pub, date. Yay!

Sending you good vibes from the realm,
