Super-Secret Project
Hello, hello friends!
Okay, the title is a tad bit misleading because I have mentioned this project in previous emails. However, I never got to share much about it, but now here we are!
I have been working on a webcomic since last year for a brand new, upcoming webcomic platform called storygrounds. If you followed me from tapas, you are aware I wrote comics there, too, and after all the crap that went down, a lot of the tapas workers have moved to storygrounds.
Something cool about storygrounds is they are going to have “Quests” for their original comics where you, as a reader, can make changes to the story! Minor ones, such as naming a character or choosing their pet companion. It’s a cute and fun way for readers to interact more with the story, including the one I have worked on, so let’s go on to chatting about that.
After her family is killed and her kingdom annihilated, Aerin vows revenge against the evil queen who ordered their deaths.
Ten years later, Aerin infiltrates the Princess Games, a competition between princesses from around the world to marry the mysterious Prince Tristan and become the next empress. Whether it be monster fighting or deadly dance performances, Aerin must compete in the queen’s cruel games to take her revenge. But the princesses she battles along the way leave her questioning everything.
Will she follow her heart, or the dagger hidden underneath it?
If you like hot bad ass women, revenge plots, mega plot twists, fairy tale vibes, a romantic subplot, and unexpected female friendships full of warmth, love, and comedy, then this is for you!
No, I did not name her Aerin. When I was hired, they had certain things settled, such as names, and well, yeah, now I have an Aron and Aerin lol
The first eight episodes are available with four free to read. You can unlock the others by waiting or purchasing coins. This will be forty episodes long with my fingers crossed for a second season because we have so much more planned, but it’s all about how well this launch goes.
If you aren’t interested in webcomics but you know people who are, please consider sharing and chatting this up, or storygrounds in general! I’m really hopeful they can do well, and we can make more original stories like this one!
In terms of updates on books, I am struggling to edit He Who Will Be King. There is a reason I edit as I write and that is to avoid this feeling of being so insanely overwhelmed. I may backtrack and keep it as a duology out of fear that my plans will make it more fantasy than romance, but I don’t know yet. It’s tugging me this way and that, but on the plus side, I am hopeful to get my next story out in February of 2026.
Serving the Undying King is a story currently only on Tapas but its exclusivity clause ends in January, so I’m preparing it for publication next year. Verdant is definitely going to be published once it’s finished because I have more concepts set in that universe but following different couples, so I do have a lot of plans hehehe
Also, reminder that I have a second pen name, Sarah Barlowe, and my first bi4bi story inspired by Howl’s Moving Castle featuring a MMC with an extensive face care routine and an FMC that might remind you a little of Inuyasha is available for pre-order on Amazon.
Anyway, yeah, please consider reading Princess Games, or the other webcomics available on storygrounds.
Until next time, toodles~
