MYOSOTIS ⚜

I SWEAR 

Hi. 

Myosotis here, the self promo queen. 

Now, I’m here to talk about my first book, Hexes & Exes, and give you a couple hints on the plot & genre & themes and why I think adults who crave easy fantasy, relatable characters & smutt should pick it up (and the sequels, Potions & Arsons, etc etc).

Firstly, I’d like to make this very clear : this book and the series is intended for an adult audience, no exceptions. It contains mature situations, graphic language, graphic violence and sexual content which isn’t suitable for anyone under 18. 

It is contemporary fantasy, dark fantasy & fantasy romance. 

1. This isn’t a book about chosen ones. This isn’t a story about a teenager who discovers powers and is suddenly pulled into a magical world where everyone wants a piece of them. This book is about adults living in a magical society, they are already well-aware of it and are far from being chosen ones. We don’t like teen protagonists saving the world here, not anymore - and if we do mention them, it is as side characters. Here, we have adults who are broken, learning, and hoping to heal. Some of them have bad coping mechanisms, some of them don’t even know they have to recover until they do, and others are unapologetically themselves despite how much it hurts them. Be prepared for some self destructive thinking, behaviour, and their inner thoughts being exposed. 

2. So, because I’ve established we’re talking about ADULTS, these characters are all well over 25 (25-30 years old) and are active members of their wizarding society. Lee Strix, our protagonist, is a professor in a magical school, some of her friends are too, others are journalists and lawyers and sentinels (aka law enforcement). As Adults, they have lives which we can all relate to (minus the magic and all), with things like complicated relationships, work, expectations, romance… smutt. Lots of it, not going to lie. 

3. While the premise of this book focuses a LOT on Lee strix and her coming to terms with her childhood traumas (being a gifted child, loosing her spark, becoming a burned out adult, having communication issues with her parents, fear of commitment, etc) and her rivalry with Ren Peridot, there are tons of layers that build up to a larger overarching story that is the central plot of all the books (which I can’t reveal, spoilers). Just know that it’s about a LOT more and it will involve a lot of mystery, investigation, plot twists at every corner. 

4. While you may jump into this series thinking Lee Strix is the protagonist, there are actually many main characters. I’d say in total, you could consider 5 as being ‘main’ and 4 as being ‘secondary’, though ideally I’d like you to consider them all as equally important because they all play a role and bring their own piece to the puzzle that is the story. So be prepared for many POVs coming in this book and the next, where other characters get time to shine. The characters are of diverse backgrounds, descent & sexuality. 

5. As I mentioned, there is a lot of smutt. That’s not the whole purpose of the book, but it is a very important part of it as it is in some ways a tool for our characters to learn about themselves and grow as individuals. So, there’s also romance. Though it isn’t the central plot, it is very crucial to it because it will play an important role in how the characters build relationships amongst themselves. 

6. Dark academia !! This serie’s whole vibe is dark/light academia meshed into one with a gothic melancholic ambiance and a dash of urban aestethic. If you like the idea of magical schools around the world, each unique and reminiscent of gothic, renaissance, medieval, byzantine or oriental architecture, then you’ll be satisfied. If you like the idea of a parallel world of magic with creatures, a complex magic system, wands, rituals, potions etc then it’s definately for you. And if you like all of that mixed in with the comfort of modern society (clubs, phones, stores, malls, restaurants etc) then HELLO, we have whole chapters that happend in Paris, New York, Seoul, San Francisco (not all in book 1, sprikled in the sequels too). 

Finally, I’d like to thank every reader that has already been so kind to check my books out (on kindle, KU, paperback, hardcover etc) and left ratings & reviews. Please do the same if you have read them or intend to, it really motivates indie authors like me to keep writing, it makes all that we pour of ourselves into the stories worth it. 

Now, if you want to dive in…

I’m lost in heaven. His body taking me to places I never knew existed. We explore each other, our hands and mouths discovering every inch of our skin. I let out a moan as he enters me, slowly, stretching me out so deliciously.

He’s gentle with me at first. He knows I haven’t been with anyone in such a long time, but once I feel him inside of me, I need more. I need to feel all of him.

He hooks my leg over his arm as his pace quickens, his eyes never leaving mine as he does this. I’m scared of what I see in them.

Love.

I see love in his eyes and that terrifies me, but the pleasure he makes me feel in this moment, keeps those thoughts at bay as my abdomen feels that pull.

He’s always looked at me like I’m his Sun, when in reality, I’m just like a young sunflower; facing the Sun as it moves across the sky.

He’s my light in the darkness, and I’m terrified that my darkness is so great, that it’ll eventually snuff out his light.

His eyes shut as I watch an orgasm rip through him. Moans ring out as I, too, gush all around his length. I feel dizzy, but so amazing. My body tingles, the haze in my mind dissipating when I feel his velvet lips on my jaw, kissing me tenderly.

lee, i love how you walked us backwards. we start at that steamy moment and then all the pieces that led to that moment are slowly revealed.

i love that OC has to talk out her feelings and fears. and i love the way the ensing made me feel.

“I always remember having this fight with a random dude who claimed that ‘straight white men’ were the only true innovators. His prime example for this was the computer… the computer… THE COMPUTER!!! THE COM-PU-TER!!!

Alan Turing - Gay man and ‘father of computing’ Wren operating Bombe - The code cracking computers of the 2nd world war were entirely run by women Katherine Johnson - African American NASA mathematician and ‘Human computer’ Ada Lovelace - arguably the 1st computer programmer”

- Sacha Coward

Also Margaret Hamilton - NASA computer scientist who put the first man on the moon - an as-yet-unmatched feet of software engineering, here pictured beside the full source of that computer programme. #myhero

Grace Hopper - the woman that coined the term “bug”  

also computing was typically a job for women (many of whom were black women that made incredible contributions) back in the day, so it’s absolutely fucking wild that straight white men think they are the foundation of computer innovation. men PUSHED women out and took the credit.
