I'm seeking beta readers!

NOSTALGIA’S LABYRINTH is a New Adult Sci-fi Fantasy, at approximately 155,000 words as the first entry in the Shadows Series that will appeal to fans of the super-powered teens in Marvel and Stranger Things. With a diverse cast and nonbinary lead, Nostalgia's Labyrinth hits hard with a twisty mystery leaving you unsure who to trust while reveling in the playful powers of the Shadows.

The strongest themes for this book include LGBTQ characters (gay, trans, nonbinary), disabled characters (Autism, ADHD, epilepsy, amputee), and mental health (Anxiety, PTSD, panic attack). Found family is a strong theme through the entire story. There will be some content warnings, including self-harm, transphobia, talk of SA, and violence throughout. I'm especially seeking neurodivergent readers, and more niche, I'm seeking a sensitivity read for Epilepsy, and amputation, I have heavily researched these topics but they aren't my personal experience so I want to ensure the voices of represented issues are as true to life and respectful as possible.

I document will be shared via Google docs, where suggesting edits and commenting is most convenient.

I've wanted to draw my character and antagonist extraordinaire, Ira for the longest time! Not gonna lie this one was really hard because who doesn't want to do a drawing that's 90% HAND! I don't think I've ever done a file size that this huge or this detailed. Ira's gonna be on the cover of book 11 and I had never drawn him before so I thought before I tackle the cover art I'll give him a go in a portrait.  Also.... FLOWERS!!! I hate drawing flowers....

WIP process of drawing Iszeldier for the cover of book 8

I got my Wacom Intuos Pro!!! this is my first project started and finished on the new tablet and I did this in about three days. I tried out new effects and tricks I haven't had the opportunity to mess with without my tablet and this is the first lineless drawing I've done since I did Hiccup from HTTYD almost three years ago! Me and my buddies got together on New Years and instead of drinking the night away since we're all still technically minors xD we took a ton of pictures of sword poses which I intend to use as reference for the foreseeable future!
