Added 2.4k words to book 3 today! That’s my highest word count since I started this draft! I’m hoping I get to the next chapter tomorrow because then I get to add a brand new PoV! This will be the first and only additional PoV for this series so it’s quite exciting to bring a new voice into it

First look at the monster in book 3 written! It was a challenge to describe but since it’s going to be on the cover I figured I didn’t need to go too hard Sneak Peek: ‘An enormous maw gaped open, easily as wide and tall as a person, rings of barb-like teeth glistening inside.’

I made some new graphics for marketing the other day after realising most of my images don’t include the book cover! I think I quite like these new graphics

I passed 50k in prequel rewrites today! I hope to get the rest done by the new year and hopefully some of draft 2.5 as well (all the extra bits I keep meaning to add before getting distracted by badly worded sentences)

The last crew member is here! The crew is finally complete! Meet Benjamin, one of three main characters in Storm Captain. The story is told mostly from his perspective, beginning in the cold, dark slave quarters and ending an entire world away

Managed 2.5k of rewrites today, creeping up on halfway now!

Storm Captain is now available for preorder!

2.5k words of rewrites tonight 🎉 Finally reached the point where it needs more work and fleshing out so I’m excited to jump in to it more over the weekend. Really need to find a new system for myself though because I keep doing line edits and forgetting to do actual scene edits 🤦

My new proof copy is here! I got this one in the gloss instead of matte and I think it’s my preferred cover type. Seems a bit crisper and more vibrant. Super fun to see on my shelves!

24h since launching the Indie Release Radar And the page already has well over 100 views! 👀 🎉 (Many of the views clicking on the books to find out more!) So glad people are finding the resource helpful. If you're looking for a book to add to your TBR, check it out! 👇🧵

I've decided: I'm giving away a Gunmetal Gods Ultimate Edition here on BlueSky! To enter the giveaway, follow me, like this post, and repost it. Shipping worldwide. Winner announced on Friday. Check out the campaign for Book 2 here (Book 1 is also available): www.kickstarter.com/projects/zam...

I’ve had a very exciting weekend with my ebook going live for preorder and then being added to Goodreads! Next up is to wait for the author account claims to process 🎉

Storm Captain, coming 11th March 2025! A world-jumping, lightning-wielding, sword and sorcery fantasy series with badass women, found family and casual gays 🏳️‍🌈

Your honour, I love them 🏳️‍🌈

The first appearances and lines of the crew in Storm Captain! Storm Captain has three main PoV characters and three side characters and I love them all 😍

I can’t decide when to do a cover reveal so I will instead be vague and mysterious about it and then randomly post it Cover reveal coming probably in the next week, and arc sign ups will be opening in December!

Since I’ve started an account here I guess I should introduce myself! I’m E.L. Reeves and I’m the author of Storm Captain, a sword and sorcery fantasy novel featuring world-jumping and lightning powers. It’s the first in a series of four and will be released 11 March 2025
