People if my characters are based on real people, but I don’t think anyone has asked me if the towns and cities are based on real places. Check out my website blog post to discover the truth behind my inspiration for the setting of #TheHiveCodex!

Insomnia isn’t always bad.
Last night, while I couldn’t sleep, I dreamt up something new: The Hiveku.
Three simple lines yet full of hidden meaning! Just like The Hive Codex itself!

I’m elbows deep in the edits! And I’m totally grooving on it! ❤️❤️
I just changed “He sulks like a child if he loses,’ to “He sulks like a cat in clover….

Editing started, so it’s a good time to reshare the moodboard for The Hive Codex. Shadow drenched libraries, broken mirrors, and tattoos with hidden meanings! Living for the dark academia vibe!!

I just had my first dev edit chat with @quillsandcosmos.bsky.social (as a signed author 🙌🙌) and we came up with an interesting idea to tackle a tricky plot issue!

Can’t wait to get started!!
