New Release with Author Kasia Bacon

Today I am very excited not only to announce my new free serial Idiot Mage & Sassy Stallion but to introduce you to the wonderful Kasia Bacon! Kasia has a new story coming out Monday, June 11th, in her Order Series. If you haven’t had a chance to read The Mutt and The Highlander I highly recommend them. They are quick reads full of wonderful characters and sizzling romance.

____________________________________

Verhan Tŭrryés of Black Mountain is a handful.

Freshly enlisted in the Highland Regiment, he does all he can to steer clear of responsibility and commitment. Just not his cup of mead, that. Loose of tongue and even looser of morals, he rarely misses an opportunity to get into trouble—and into the other archers’ knickers, too.

In a unit composed almost entirely of Dark Elves, Hernan Seinnés, with his green eyes and auburn hair, is an outsider. When Verhan, up the creek again, is blackmailed into helping Hernan, he never expects to fall for him. But during the long hours spent training Hernan for the Honour Guard, feelings strike the Highlander right in the heart—and with the force of an arrow.

Unversed in relationships, Verhan finally plucks up enough courage to tell Hernan how he feels, only to drive the Asirhwӱnian away instead. If Verhan can swallow his pride, he might get one last chance to show Hernan what he means to him—and maybe this time he can hit the mark.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Logo for print

A linguist and an avid reader with a particular fondness for fantasy and paranormal genres, KASIA BACON lives in London with her husband. When not tearing her hair out over a translating project, she writes stories about the shenanigans of emotionally constipated assassins and sexy Elves. Otherwise, she can be found shaking her loins at a Zumba class, binging on anime or admiring throwing knives on Pinterest. She has a mild coffee and lemon tart addiction. A lover of MMA and Muay Thai, she also enjoys nature and the great outdoors. She dreams of becoming independently wealthy, leaving the city and moving into her wooden mini-manor—located in the heart of stunning forests resembling those of the Elven Country depicted in her tales.

I have loved these stories and I’m sure you will too!

Idiot Mage & Sassy Stallion

 Available today for free!!! An all-new fantasy story set in the same universe as Forbidden Enchantment.

Idiot MageTier’ghan Trolde ran from everything. Responsibilities, jealous would-be lovers, debt collectors but most of all from the knowledge he is a failure as a mage. Where his fellow graduates had secure positions at various holdings and were amassing their fortunes he was a wandering wretch without even a paladin to protect him. He’d started out well enough until word spread about the uncanny nature of his spell casting. The core of the spell would be true but there were always unexpected consequences. But a lone mage is most often a dead mage.

Without a paladin to protect him, every person he meets could be the last.

The last thing Quenoor needs is an idiot mage to look after. He’s got more than enough problems of his own. But when the charming red-head ends up on the wrong end of a knife it is up to Quenoor to save his sorry hide. Maybe having a mage around won’t be so bad, they might even figure out why the horse they stole can talk and seems to think it is actually a 2000-year-old knight of a long-gone empire.

Going live June 10th on Wattpad!

Pride Month Diversity Commitment and a New Workshop!

Pride

June is here and for those of us in the States, that means Pride Month! It is a month to celebrate the MOGAI (Marginalized Orientations, Gender Alignments and Intersex) community and how far we’ve come and where we are headed. It is also a great month to look at our writing and see where we stand with our commitment to writing with diversity.

With that in mind, I would like to encourage you to commit to writing more diverse characters. This is something I know sounds like more work, but I promise it’s no more work than what you’re already doing. I’ll be here to help you along the way, too. Not only will you have all the information available on my blog but you’re also welcome to ask me any questions you might have.

So look at/think about your story and explore ways you might be able to show diversity. Make the commitment to writing diversely. Join the #WriMoDiversity commitment today to show your support. Tweet #WriMoDiversity and let me know how you plan to explore diversity in your story.

I am making the commitment to #wrimodiversity this Pride Month!

Join me in my commitment to #wrimodiversity for Pride Month!

How to Write with Diversity Workshop

How to Write with Diversity Workshop1

In line with this, I am very happy to announce a 4-week workshop in July devoted to helping you write more inclusively. (The workshop focuses on sexual orientation and gender identity and will not address racial diversity as I am white and do not wish to stray from my lane).

The workshop will run from July 1st-29th and will feature one live lecture per week on Mondays and access to a private forum to post your assignments (yes assignments! ^_^) and discuss topics with other class members.

The topics are as follows:

  • Week One: Recognizing and Overcoming Internalized Bias
  • Week Two: When to Avoid Tropes and Stereotypes
  • Week Three: Developing Your Diverse Cast
  • Week Four: Developing Your Diverse Case Part 2: The Story

The introductory cost of the course will be $50 which includes all four live lectures, worksheets, and access to the private forum.

I look forward to seeing you there!
