I finally did it! I'm finally happy with it!

I finally did it! I'm finally happy with it!

After years and years of writes and rewrites, I've finally published the story that's been living in my head for most of my life. Here's a brief synopsis and where you can grab a copy!

A vengeful and clever warrior, bathed in the blood of her blade; a blade fashioned by her own hand, that whispers and taunts her from within. A monk of the Lady, Warden of the Archae, with a right arm that can warp and twist the very fabric of reality itself. An aged and massive titan of a woman, clad in layers upon layers of shielded armor, eternally masked and tormented by her choices.

Together, they rise up beneath an oppressive human presence that reaches across the whole of the galaxy. Humanity acts as if their footprint means dominion, that any place they touch is theirs and theirs alone. Can the people break free of the chains of contempt? Can the warrior find the strength in herself to conquer the darkest parts of her own mind?

Currently, I'm not on KDP as I have a very famous local bookstore here that doesn't consider KDP authors as a way of not supporting Amazon. Because of that, it's currently released on B&N. If you choose to check it out, I hope you enjoy the journey! And please do leave me a review once you're done reading as it definitely helps my visibility!

So I'm not *currently* looking to buy, but more getting a ballpark of what my savings goal should be.

I'm looking for a realistic, femme-looking (slimmed down) lynx head, doesn't need to be custom/can be pre-made. My max budget would probably be around 1500, but anything in the 1k-1500 range would be perfect. Is that a realistic amount to pay for a well-made one? I would also prefer to support indie crafters and not cheap, mass-produced stuff.

Open to any suggestions for a crafter whose work fits the style I'm after.

Hey all,

After years of work, my first novel is about to come out! (I'm self-publishing, so in the next month or two after I purchase an ISBN and finish my final couple editing passes). It's an original universe with several alien species I designed. I recently got my cover from the artist I commissioned and I'm very happy with it. She incorporated all of the concept art and designs I've made and helped me put them together in a cohesive way.

Here's the synopsis:

>A vengeful and clever warrior, bathed in the blood of her blade; a blade fashioned by her own hand, that whispers and taunts her from within. A monk of the Lady, Warden of the Archae, with a right arm that can warp and twist the very fabric of reality itself. An aged and massive titan of a woman, clad in layers upon layers of shielded armor, eternally masked and tormented by her choices.

>Together, they rise up beneath an oppressive human presence that reaches across the whole of the galaxy. Humanity acts as if their footprint means dominion, that any place they touch is theirs and theirs alone. Can the people break free of the chains of contempt? Can the warrior find the strength in herself to conquer the darkest parts of her own mind? All will be answered within, in Symbiote: A Space Opera.

Hoping to get a little hype going and gauge interest. If you'd read it, let me know in a comment, I'll save it and send you a message once it's actually released!
