#AskAnAuthor #booksky Oof, I don't really like telling people what to do/think, but I wish there were more tolerant & genuinely kind people and more people who cared for the environment (and science).

#writingmonthly #booksky Alix would certainly read her series, because it has ghosts and lots of history, which is exactly what she likes. In Ashuan: Samantha and Rachel would read it, they both read a lot. Jan and Fabian might watch it on TV. And Matt and Lucille would not be interested 😅

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

#pretendpanel #booksky I think the character I'm most like would be Samantha from Ashuan. At least during high school, we were very similar: top of the class, but very much an outsider, then finding her people in this little group of weirdos and slowly growing more confident in herself. 💙

14 years ago, a city fell, but hope rose from the rubble with so many acts of kindness from total strangers. It's that hope in humanity that keeps me going in these dark times. There are good people in the world, many more than you think 🥰 Kia kaha 💙 #chcheq2011

#writinglifemonthly #booksky Doing #Ashuan for this one: Fabian: drawing, pets, swimming Samantha: magic, potions, singing Lucille: shopping, fashion, flirting Rachel: reading, dreaming Jan: hanging with friends, gaming, partying Matt: f***ing 🤣 okay, okay, he changed by now, still likes it though

#AskAnAuthor #booksky For me, it's deadlines and blocking out time. As a mum, I only have a set hours that I can work in peace on my manuscripts, so setting a certain time, at the same time each day, really helps. And deadlines - the actual ones and the end of the week, end of month, midnight...

#SFFChat Question 3: My first thought are the Parisian catacombs in my Parisian Ghosts series. They're chockfull of history, have a really intense atmosphere, and are practically begging for the #urbanfantasy treatment. 😅 #booksky

#SFFChat Question 2: For Ashuan, it's clearly Buffy - The Vampire Slayer. I was a huge fan back then, when I started developing the series and it's basically Buffy in Germany (with demons 😏) #booksky #urbanfantasy

#SFFChat Question 1: I don't think I have one for writing, but I do love a good thunderstorm. Failing that, wind or rain will do it too 😊 #booksky

#NZWrites #booksky I'd say dialogues, because I've been Ashuan for over twenty years. The English version is a normal novel, but the German version is practically a screenplay, so I've had a LOT of practice and just conveying story via dialogues. 😁

#ThrowbackThursday It's that time again, where all my thoughts are with Christchurch, home of my heart. 🥺 On 22/2/2011, an earthquake killed 185 people and destroyed the homes of many more. Here's me, shovelling silt. Again. And yeah, I wrote a book about it: books2read.com/timetoremember #booksky

#writinglifemonthly #booksky Alix is obsessed with a) pain au chocolates and b) with helping ghosts, feeling very much like she's the only one to care and hence can't say no, no matter the trouble they bring with them.😁 Free prequel here: books2read.com/parisianghosts
