#new adult urban fantasy author

Hello! I'd like to tell you about a book I wrote. It'll be coming out on Friday the 26th of May 2023.

I'm extremely proud of this one. I'm proud of them all, of course, but I think in this one I let myself get angry for, well, pretty much the whole book to be honest. Previous books in the series have bursts of queer rage, but this one definitely sustained it.

At its heart, it's a book that demands to know just how long we're supposed to do nothing while fascists kill us.

Now, fair warning, it is book 9 in an ongoing series. It won't make a whole lot of sense if you haven't read the previous eight books. I'll get to that at the end of the post, but for now I want to stick with Runes of Fall.

No storm bows to reason.

Quentin's trip to the desert with his chosen family is supposed to be two days of testing the limits of their powers. Instead, a violent storm looms on the horizon, and nothing will alter its course.

The storm has a name: Nate Anderson. Demigod, supremacist, leader of a neo-Nazi Übermensch cabal... and father to Quentin's latest ward, Mel. He means to take her home, and won't let a ragtag group of "inferior" psychics get in his way.

Besieged and outgunned, Quentin is trapped in a no-win scenario. No matter which way he turns, one fateful night will change him forever.

Inheritance is a series best read in order, so if this is the first you've heard of it I strongly recommend that you start with Jack of Thorns, but keep going and I'll let you know how you can grab that for free. First, let me tell you more about it.

In Jack of Thorns, we meet Laurence and Quentin, two men with astonishing powers but little to no control over them. They are both adrift, traumatised, and doing what they can to get by one day at a time. Laurence is struggling to escape a toxic, abusive boyfriend who refuses to accept that their relationship is over, and Quentin spends as much of his time drunk as he possibly can.

Do they start out likeable? Opinion varies. But they learn, they grow, and they put in the work to improve themselves. They do their best, and sometimes they make mistakes, but the Laurence and Quentin in Runes of Fall are a world away from the Laurence and Quentin you first meet.

Heads up, there are some content warnings to take note of. In random order, they are: sexual intimacy, addiction, drug use, sexual assault, childhood sexual abuse, incest, gaslighting, bullying, coercive control, kidnapping, domestic abuse, bigotry, classism, torture, post-traumatic stress, therapy, violence, peril, and death.

If you're still here, thank you for reading this far. I'd like to give you some links if you're interested in finding out more!

WELCOME TO NEW ATLAS: A CITY WITHIN A REALITY JUST BEYOND OUR OWN.

When Evie Thatcher accidentally manages to rewind a small moment of time, she uncovers that her family neglected to share a secret with her—one that ties her to fate-orchestrating secret society behind the curtain of her previous reality. And someone lurking within wants her dead.

2024 AD - the Roman Republic remains strong, yet something dark is lurking within...

Endymion Brutus is a young senator with a lot to live up to. In an age of turmoil, he is thrust into the depths of the cut-throat Senate with one objective: stay alive, keep out of trouble.

But when the great Vero Caesar returns unexpectedly, Rome is flipped on its head and Endymion begins to understand that hiding in the shadows will not stop him from being stabbed to death.

With the encouragement of possible murder, he formulates a plan, alliances...

But Rome is a dangerous place and texting SOS will not be enough to spare him from the games of the Roman elite. And with growing tensions between Caesar and the Senate, death seems to be knocking at the door.

Let’s Kill Caesar, chapter 1

Writeblr Re-Introduction

Hi! I’ve been part of  Writeblr for a while now but I consolidated everything into my main blog here a while back so I thought it was about time I dids this again!

About Me

Name: Raven

Pen Name: Raven Elliot O'Connor

Age: 25+

Pronouns: they/xe

Location: UK

I'm a self-published author and you can read about my debut series here! I'm tag and ask game friendly and am also willing to answer asks in character. I'm queer, mentally ill, neurodivergent and disabled so a lot of what I write reflects that, because I want to see myself on the page and hope others will find value in it too.

About My Writing

Genre/s:

Urban Fantasy, LGBTQ+ Romance, and uh... fanfic XD

Demographic:

Young/New Adult

Themes:

Found family, interpersonal drama, trauma recovery/coping, magic and mystery

Current Projects:

The Truth Saga

When they were children, their brother was stolen and their mother killed. Elyan and Lydia Moore have dedicated their lives to finding out what really happened that night, and where their brother was taken – but the truth will throw them into chaos they could never predict.

The Truth Saga is my debut NA series combining Urban Fantasy with interpersonal drama and romance. It's an indefinite series in which the books will be written in such a way that readers can jump in wherever and not be too lost/be able to figure out the story so far as they go. If you like a diverse cast, queer representation, characters who come alive on the page, and realistic depictions of trauma and mental illness without demonising it, you'll love this. The first book in the series, Reckless Truth, is available now from Amazon, Itch.io and Gumroad

The Magiverse

Everyone knows the Magi exist. Some say the foundations of our greatest cities were built upon the bones of ancient Magi; others that they are simply freaks of evolution. One thing most agree on: they’re dangerous. But most of them are just kids, desperate for a place to belong -- and that's where the Shelter comes in. Deep within the confines of a troubled town, a small group of displaced Magi live and love and hide just like everyone else.

The Magiverse is a YA Urban Fantasy project focusing on a group of lost and displaced young adults in their journey to self-acceptance. It is about the grief and fear that comes with living in a world not built for you, and the love and trusting relationships we form regardless. Every forseeable novel will be completely standalone and follow a different group of characters! If you likefound family, queer identity and commentary on the societal demonisation of mental illness wrapped in a bundle of supernatural drama, you'll love this!
