Review by crig Dec 16, 2025

Challenging and compelling
"If you are looking for something different from the usual inkitt offerings, try this. If you are looking for something with a very original storyline, indeed, quite unlike anything else you might have read, try this.
As it is written in a very readable style, what are you waiting for?
Style Give it a go.

The Hunter seeks peace and quiet to mourn the loss of her best friend in a world that seems bound and determined to make that task impossible. Enemies attack when she’d rather be alone, allies can’t take a hint and the arch-demon Wrath seeks the Hunter’s hand in marriage, even though she’d sooner kill him.

(Left) The cover of She Seeks Peace, by Owen Tyme.

The background is a snow-capped, craggy mountain with green, grassy hills at its base, which feature yellow and blue flowers.

The foreground is dominated by the round symbol for peace, in gold. Along the bottom of it are two olive branches. At the top is a dove in flight. Arranged on the lower three spokes of it are three figures based on the AIGA symbol for a woman. The figure on the right is blue. The one in the middle is a very dark gray, bordering on black, which includes a top hat. The figure on the left is red and has horns, like a demon.

(Right) The background is a view from the interior of a gun's barrel, with the rifling very apparent and the following quote over the top:

Reggie looked down the barrel of one of his own pistols, which the girl held in both hands, because the M1911 was a little large for someone so small.

There was a long, silent moment as the girl giggled and met his gaze. The murderous look was gone, replaced by something more playful, like a cat toying with a mouse.

Having an abusive assassin for a sister was bad enough, but when Lyra’s older sister, Nicole, becomes obsessed with killing the teenage troll, her life becomes a special kind of nightmare. Will she escape, or become just another victim of the unstoppable woman?

(Left) The cover of Troll Song, by Owen Tyme, Illustrated by Ryan Johnson.

There's a woman in mud spattered white, leather armor crossing a pair of short swords against the neck of a terrified, shirtless dwarf.

The woman has white hair and a darker skin tone on the left side of her face. Her left eye is green and her right eye is blue.

The dwarf's hair and beard are blond.

The background is a green forest, with some flowers among the tall grass.

(Right) The background is a snow-covered forest, with a pair of dark silhouettes in it, one small and the other large, like a giant. The smaller silhouette is of a young woman walking away and the interior is filled with musical symbols, in green, white and two shades of blue. The larger silhouette is a woman wielding two swords and the interior is full of blood spatter. The larger one appears to be chasing the smaller one.

The following text is laid over the scene:

“I can’t die until Lyra takes her last breath! She’ll regret betraying her sisters!”

“There’s no price I won’t pay to see that happen, no pain I won’t endure and I’d sacrifice the whole world to seal her fate!”

I started a new project titled 'Starwitch'.

It's about three sisters that launched themselves into space with magic. The novel has been named for the ship itself. The setting will be primarily fantasy, though with some minor scientific elements, mostly in the form of mathematics and orbital dynamics.

I intend to publish as an episodic web series, then as a novel, so keep an eye out for details.

@Priyajsridhar thank you for hosting #writephant today

#SelfPromo #IndieAuthor

Since we were talking about community today…

One of the aspects of my latest release, Little Wolf and the Witch, is about finding community — Feilan, the eponymous Little Wolf of the title, has been exiled from his (Viking-like) community, while Remy, the eponymous Witch, has been metaphorically exiled (ostracised) from his.

They find each other (…eventually, it’s enemies-to-lovers), fight monsters of various sorts, and pull together their own community in the process.

Find out more and read a sample at my website: https://wendypalmer.au/books/#vaer

Hope you’ve got a good book for some hammock, boat, back patio, whatever, reading.

If not….

The image features three books standing upright on a white wooden surface, with a pool of water in the background. The books are titled "The Adventures of Wil Calder: Space Rogues Book 1" by John Wilker, "Island of Secrets" by J. Beckett, and "Any Job Will Do: Book 1 of the Grand Human Empire" by John Wilker. The book covers are colorful and feature various designs: the first book has a space-themed cover with a rocket and stars, the second book has a green cover with a silhouette of a person holding a gun, and the third book has a futuristic cover with a person standing in a spaceship. The pool water reflects the sky, creating a serene atmosphere.

Friends!

Today, I present to you the cover of Convergence of Connection!

Isn’t it stunning? 🤩 🥰

Check out my latest blog post for an in-depth look at what’s on the cover, and to read the blurb. (NOTE: The blurb talks about what happens in book three; naturally, that means there are spoilers for books one and two.)
