Chained Soul – Part Two
Welcome back to Chained Soul, my new serialised novel that I’m releasing right here on my blog, as well as on Tapas and Wattpad. Quick warning: this series does contain strong language, so if that’s not your thing, you’re free to skip this one!
The Inspiration Behind Twisted Bloodlines
In honour of the recent re-release of Twisted Bloodlines (the revamped and extended second edition is now available for free at Smashwords, for 99p on Kindle and £9.99 as a paperback) I thought I would go back… back to a time on the cusp of the pandemic, when I was in college and had the idea to write up the very first draft of Twisted Bloodlines.
Twisted Bloodlines – Second Edition Excerpt
Are you as excited as I am for the release of the second edition of Twisted Bloodlines on Friday? I certainly hope so! I’ve poured a lot of love and effort into this revamped (I’m using that pun so much, haha) edition of the book, with a completely rewritten story, improved characterisation, extended worldbuilding and a full 30k more words than the first edition! Today, you can get a sneaky peek at the new edition with this excerpt from Chapter One!
Get Ready For Twisted Bloodlines – Second Edition!
This will be a shorter blog post than usual, because it’s more of an announcement than anything else. If you haven’t been over on my Instagram or Facebook, you might not have seen my posts about the second edition of Twisted Bloodlines, so here’s the news: it’s coming!
Look At A Book: Intricacies Inked In Ice
Just in time for the colder weather, we’re taking a closer look at my winter-inspired poetry collection today, Intricacies Inked In Ice! This collection is full of poetry inspired by the natural world in winter, with icy landscapes and chilly atmospheres.
Look At A Book: On Gentle Wings
This week, we’re taking a closer look at my bird-inspired poetry collection, On Gentle Wings. This lovely collection is divided into four parts – In The Home, In The Air, In The Heart and In The Absurd – and is quite firmly inspired by our feathered friends of the sky. It covers a wide range of avian themes, from birds being pets and friends to their family structures, real or imagined, in the wild, and even some more outlandish depictions of birds as well. I hope that you enjoy learning a little bit more about this poetry collection!
Look At A Book: Commute
Today it’s time to take a look at another one of my poetry collections, and it’s one of my favourites. I’ve done a lot of commuting and travelling around my local area on public transport, so I thought it was only right that I dedicated a book to it, and each poem in this collection is inspired by a specific route or service that I’ve personally used. Let’s get into the details with Commute!
Look At A Book: Obsession
This is an interesting one for me – Obsession is the only book I have published under ‘O.T. Leonard’, when I was still quite early into using Oskar as my name, and it’s one of my only romance/love-focused books. It’s also pretty dark, akin to Cicerone, and it’s a fantasy book, which I’ve got a couple of now. So, let’s take a closer look at Obsession today!
Look At A Book: Twisted Bloodlines
This week, I’m going to take some time to highlight my only vampire-related book (at the moment) and one of my first novels. The first draft was written, as with many of my books, during NaNoWriMo, and it’s one of my books that I’ve got a second edition planned for, so make sure to watch out for that in the future! This is another book which is print-exclusive for now, but when I release the second edition I’ll make sure to make a free eBook edition available as well. However, right now, let’s get into Twisted Bloodlines!
