When you’re neck-deep in writing a steamy scene and feel someone’s eyes on you… turn… and… 😂 yeah, Achilles has the worst timing.

It's been a rough weekend & week start with a cold, but as always, #writing is a healing balm to my wounded heart. ❤️ I'm currently working on my vampire romance series Lost Royals Of Transylvania. If you love vampires, emotional and spicy romances, mythology tales (I'm Romanian-born, so I have a lot of European lore in my books, lol) and suspenseful plot twists, grab a copy of Book 1, Immortal Illusion, from Amazon or Kindle Unlimited: https://www.amazon.com/Immortal-Illusion-Transylvanian-Vampire-Transylvania-ebook/dp/B08KSS4Y4L

Monday Motivation ✨
As an author, I often doubt myself. Are my stories good enough? Am I using the right words to convey a scene? Are my characters interesting? Will readers hate my books? And lots of other similar questions that make me spiral into a dark state of mind.😔

But then there are moments when I read a positive review or comment, see my books climbing a chart, or get a touching email from a reader. And it fills my heart with courage, gratitude and excitement.☺️Such small things mean the world to me when I doubt myself. Even if my books won't be liked by everyone, I start believing in myself again, and I chase my writing dreams one step at a time. Word by word, chapter by chapter, book by book.

Yeah, there are still days when I wanna give up on writing. But if I'd done it, I never would have gotten so many amazing opportunities.🤩The most recent of which is being featured in a book box - a dream I've been chasing for a while without getting much traction, but now it is finally becoming a reality.

Thank you to the Midnight Tales Book Box team for featuring my romantasy book Secret Shadows this April. If you want to get it, along with a signed bookplate and some awesome reader swag, fill out this form: https://forms.gle/24Hp9osMrtQbQemGA

✨Don't ever give up on your dreams, even when it seems like it's pointless. Believe me, I know the feeling. But don't give up! Good things will come if you fight for them. Trust your instincts and believe in your worth.✨

📚 “People disappear all the time in Germany. We are almost as famous for that as we are for strudel.”

👍The audio was utterly gripping to me. I think WWII is a common setting in historical fiction but this book focusing on the Olympics and the lead up was refreshing.

👎The ending was kind of weird. I can’t say much without spoilers but it just kinda lingered 🤷‍♀️

✨ IT HAPPENED ✨

Sorry for shouting, but oh, wow, I'm lost for words to tell you how excited I am about this! 🤩

I've been dreaming of being featured in a book box for so long, and when I finally got an offer last year, I had to do my best to keep the secret (which was HARD, I swear 😅). But now I can finally share that I'm one of the featured authors in the Midnight Tales Book Box this April. Woohoo! 🎉

The book is my romantasy novel Secret Shadows (a retelling of the Ancient Greek Hades & Persephone myth and the legend of how The Underworld was formed). So if you haven't read it yet or you want to get a paperback copy + some awesome swag and a ✨signed✨ bookplate, now is the perfect chance to get it:

thebookcommentary.comThe Book Commentary: Sandusky BurningIn Sandusky Burning, Bryan W. Conway crafts a tale of unseen chaos amidst the tranquil facade of a lakeside campground. The narrative follows multiple characters, unraveling the intermingled lives of seasonal workers and campers at Sandusky Shores. Central to the plot is Brady Sullivan, a remote worker facing marital issues, who becomes entangled in a series of escalating incidents ranging from petty theft to drunken escapades. As the story unfolds, it reveals the darker undercurrents of addiction, manipulation, and desperation, culminating in a suspenseful crescendo involving a mysterious fire and a train disaster that force the characters to confront their fates. Brady just wants to get home to his wife and kids but is lured into a compromising position; the army vet is blackmailed with photographs of him and a prostitute. Will he give up government secrets to save himself and his family as pressure mounts? The characterization in Sandusky Burning is deeply nuanced. Conway presents a diverse cast, from the beleaguered Brady, struggling with his identity and marital strife, to Chuck, whose blend of charm and manipulation reveals a darker side fueled by substance abuse. Conway contrasts their existential dilemmas with humor and moments of raw vulnerability. Characters like Viktor and Daniela, the Romanian workers, are layered and intriguing.  The world-building is impeccable, with the campgrounds set against the train tracks constantly reminding us of underlying tensions and impending disasters. The contrast between the idyllic summer retreat and the threat of chaos through the train’s passage heightens the suspense. The community is characterized by neglect, and the various conflicts simmer beneath the surface. Personal struggles manifest in communal crises, highlighting the interconnectedness of the characters’ actions. The external pressures from their socioeconomic realities amplify their internal struggles, ultimately leading to a collision of chaos and resolution in a very literal sense. Bryan W. Conway succeeds in creating vivid characters with weaknesses that make them authentic and credible. The tension is gripping, and the prose is exquisite in this suspenseful thriller. 
Another book edge painting foray! This one was a lot of fun, but I did learn that it is possible for the gouache to be too thick. Some of it flaked off when I went to go break part the pages and trying to touch it up was NOT fun 😂
