Herzlichen GlĂŒckwunsch, dass du dein Buch verlegen konntest! Wie heiĂt der Titel? Ich wĂŒrde gern mal reinschnuppern. Hatte damals immer mal wieder hier bei dir reingeguckt und es freut mich tierisch, dass du es geschafft hast!
Ahh ganz, ganz lieben Dank! Mein Buch heiĂt Melodie der Asche. Hier das Cover, Innenklappenillustrationen usw. đ„° Hier gibt's das Buch ĂŒbrigens signiert und mit gratis Charakterkarten. Alles selbst illustriert.

And for my english speaking lovelies: This is the German version of BttS - my queer / mm high fantasy. đđ„° All Illustrations are painted by me (and there is lots of character art as well đ„č) I'm also including a picture of the cake, because a lovely queer reader, whoâs a baker, made it himself and brought it to me at Leipzig Book Fair. He told me it was his first time ever visiting a book fair, and he came just to say thank you â because this book changed his life. đâš I could barely hold back my tears. Iâll cherish that moment forever.

The most powerful line I remember you by is your first - "Today, I am going to die." I just love how you suck the reader right in with it, and learning more about your story it just grows more and more meaningful. Perfect!
aww, I just found this old ask of yours and got rather emotional about it. I'm so glad, because you like that line so much (I do as well), and also because I got to keep it in the published book. đđ„č
Hi writeblr, is it still a thing to post edits and WIP introductions? What about all those fancy things such as last line tags and ask memes? Are those still a thing? I've been gone for ... years! đ

Hi writeblr, is it still a thing to post edits and WIP introductions? What about all those fancy things such as last line tags and ask memes? Are those still a thing? I've been gone for ... years! đ
Do you plan to release your book in other languages?
Thanks a lot.
I'd love to. đ„°đ ... and I made sure that I'll get my english / international rights back within a year, if my german publisher doesn't use them. So ... who knows! đ€ I might look into my english version of Born to the Sea once more.
so I finally recovered my Tumblr password. đđ ... I only had the app on my old phone but today I thought "let's fix this!" - So hi, does anyone remember me? đ

OMG du hast Born to the Sea bei Droemer untergebracht? Respekt! Ich freu mich so fĂŒr dich! Und werde mich dafĂŒr einsetzen, dass wir das Buch in der Bibliothek, in der ich arbeite, anschaffen und es prominent aufgestellt wird :) Freue mich schon darauf, es zu lesen!
ach wow, das ist so eine unfassbar liebe Nachricht von dir & so eine schöne Geste! Bitte, bitte berichte, wenn du es gelesen hast? Ich bin so gespannt! đđ„č
Und ja, ich kann mein GlĂŒck mit Droemer Knaur selbst noch immer kaum fassen und freue mich einfach so sehr darauf, diese Geschichte endlich teilen zu können.

Melodie der Asche is the german title of my WIP Born to the Sea, and what you see up there, is the official cover. The real cover of the story, that started in 2019 here on Writeblr. I even got to illustrate the hands ... T_T Anyway, I'm forever grateful for all the support I've found. I miss you & love you, guys! I hope you're all doing well. đ
You can preorder Melodie der Asche *here* & I have included the german preview text in case you happen to speak german.
Das Vergessen war seine Gnade.
Die Wahrheit ist sein Untergang.
Ein Magier ohne Zukunft versucht, sein Schicksal abzuwenden.
Ein Fischer ohne Vergangenheit verliebt sich in einen Feldherrn, der eine LĂŒge lebt.
In einem kriegszerrissenen Land stĂŒrzen sie sich in den Kampf um Freiheit und decken eine Wahrheit auf, die so schwer wiegt, dass sie besser nie ans Licht gekommen wĂ€re.
-
Drei untrennbar verbundene Schicksale entscheiden ĂŒber die Zukunft eines kriegszerrissenen Reiches. Inmitten des Konfliktes zwischen der Rebellion und dem grausamen Regime des Sha ist Caliyan der stĂ€rkste Magier seiner Zeit, doch man hat ihm alles genommen. Im Versuch seiner dunklen Bestimmung zu entfliehen, verliert er sich in Rache.
Vaelen ist ein einfacher Fischer, der seine Vergangenheit nicht kennt. Das Einzige, das ihn stĂ€ndig begleitet, ist eine unbestimmte Sehnsucht, getrieben von einer geheimnisvollen Melodie in seinem Inneren, die noch lauter erklingt, als er Laudan kennenlernt. Aber Laudan ist nicht nur ein Spion der Rebellen, sondern auch der Feldherr des Sha â und damit nicht der, fĂŒr den Vaelen ihn hĂ€lt.
Laudan ist sofort fasziniert von dem jungen Fischer, seinem starken Willen, der Freiheit und der Anmut, die er ausstrahlt. Doch welche Chance hat eine so zarte Liebe, wenn um sie herum ein Kampf tobt? Wenn Laudan ihm nicht sagen kann, dass er nicht der ist, fĂŒr den Vaelen ihn hĂ€lt? Und Vaelen die Macht besitzt, den Frieden zu bringen oder alles zu zerstören, woran Laudan glaubt?
Du bist noch nicht fertig, flĂŒsterte ihm die Dunkelheit zu.

Hi there, apologies because you may not remember me, or how youÂŽve ended up on this taglist. But I still remember you. 2019 you were by my side when I wrote the very first draft of my fantasy novel "Born to the Sea". Until 2021, when I finished my final draft tumblr felt very much like home to me. I shared my thoughts on writing, met new friends, and Iâm forever grateful for all the encouragement, interest and love towards what has become an experience of a lifetime ...
I'm truly sorry for not keeping you updated. It's been over a year since I found a literary agent. Back then I wrote âBorn to the Sea might actually be published â but only time will tell.â
What happened in the summer of 2022 surpassed my wildest fantasies: One of the major German publishers picked up the manuscript and I met the editor of my dreams: A person who understands the story and its characters on its deepest level ... and here I am, knowing that Born to the Sea will get published; knowing that I'll see my own book hit the stores next year and I still shake my head in disbelief ⊠because all of this started here. With a rough Idea.
And it started with everyone who supported me.
It started with you.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Lots of love
Elyađ
PS: Born to the Sea will be published under a different name, but I fear I can't reveal it just yet.
PPS: If you have any questions, by all means, feel free to ask.
If you want to keep following my journey to the release, Iâm on Instagram these days, being a little more official. Youâll find me *here*. There is bonus art, too - Iâm still painting. It would be lovely to see some familiar faces there.
Hi there. Itâs been a while and you might not remember me, my WIP Born to the Sea or how youâve even ended up on my taglist. I havenât posted for ages and Iâm sorry for disappearing all of a sudden. But this is it: My final Born to the Sea writing update.
ARE YOU GOING TO DELETE YOUR BLOG?? ;-; I hope not, I'll be really sad..
Aww, no. đ Don't worry, nonnie. It just underwent a ... thorough clean up & I had quite an emotional ride scrolling through all of my content starting from 2014 up until 2022. Most of my writing updates, general writing posts and art stayed of course. But unfortunately the shiny edits and character asks had to go.

Hi there. Itâs been a while and you might not remember me, my WIP Born to the Sea or how youâve even ended up on my taglist. I havenât posted for ages and Iâm sorry for disappearing all of a sudden. But this is it: My final Born to the Sea writing update.
After three years of writing and over ten drafts, there is nothing to be edited anymore. At least not on my part. The book is finished and I have signed with a literary agent.
Iâm forever grateful for the supportive community I have found here. Camp NaNo 2019 is still one of my fondest writing memories. It was the first time I ever posted a last line, and ever since your support and curiosity kept me going, even when writing was hard. But Born to the Sea had to be written. I never once doubted that and through the years, the story revealed its true essence. I canât express how much it means to me and I think it is safe to say that itâll be forever in heart.
What a strange feeling it is to look at my old posts. Nostalgic and bittersweet. Sometimes I miss those times. I wouldnât change a single thing and still get all the feels when I scroll through my old edits. But there is a time and a place for everything and times change.
With my agent at my side, Born to the Sea might actually get published - but only time can tell.
I owed you this update. And I owed it to myself.
Thank you for believing in my writing.
Lots of love,
Elya đ
