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!

Look At A Book: Cicerone

Since we’ve already looked at Lighter Fluid, it made sense to me to come to my second novella, quite a different one. This is my darkest fantasy work to date, in my opinion, and it’s got a completely opposite ‘structure’ to Lighter Fluid – instead of a lot of short scenes, this novella contains six longer chapters with an approximately similar wordcount, and it’s my only long-form work that is in second person, which is always interesting. But anyway, let’s get into looking closer at Cicerone!

Look At A Book: The Cats Collection

Okay so, technically, we’re cheating a little bit today. My last two ‘Look At A Book’ posts have both been, as the title suggests, about one book. However, with Cats Alone, Cats Wild and Cats Home, they kind of have to come as a trio. This is my first ever completed series as a trilogy and my only middle-grade focused books, and Cats Alone was the first book I ever wrote and published, so this series does mean a lot to me. If you’re as excited to take a closer look at The Cats Collection as I am, let’s get right into it!

Look At A Book: Everything Under The Rainbow

This week, I’m highlighting my most popular print book and third most popular ebook (behind Lighter Fluid, which I covered last week, and Cats Alone). This is probably the book that I’m most proud of out of all of my releases and the one that has had the most positive impact on my readers, that I know of (if you’ve read and enjoyed this book, feel free to let me know in a comment below!). It’s also my only short story collection as of right now, so that makes it even more special! Without any further ado, let’s take a closer look at Everything Under The Rainbow!

Purgatory Inc.

This is an interesting little short story exploring a possible afterlife, so I really hope you enjoy it! I think the overall vibes are similar to my upcoming novella Sweet Dream, Bitter Reality and also some of the poems in Aleatory Poetry, so feel free to check them out if you’re interested to see more of this sort of writing from me.

Me And E

A couple of fun updates this week! The Demon Of Darkenhall Lane’s formatting is coming along nicely, and it should be ready for publication in early July. I’ve also decided to participate in Camp NaNoWriMo again this year, with a new project which I’m keeping under wraps for now, so stick around if you’d like to learn more as I get ready to reveal the details! For the post, I’ve decided to highlight a fiction piece, Me And E, which was previously published in TUGZ Magazine’s second issue – it’s got a bit of a dystopian vibe to it, so I hope you like it!

Weight Of A God

Before we get into this week’s flash fiction piece, have you checked out the completely free ebook copy of On Gentle Wings available at Smashwords? If not, I would highly recommend giving it a go – and if you want to really support me, consider buying a print copy at Amazon, leaving a review for the collection wherever you accessed it or checking out my Ko-Fi. With all that being said, I have a flash fiction piece for you today which was published by Adoxography Literary Magazine in their second issue and unfortunately is no longer available, so I thought I’d share it here.

Cats Collection Updates – And Other News

Hi there! It’s certainly been a while since I’ve posted something on this blog, but hopefully everything will be getting back on track soon. I’ve been very busy with uni work and also my beta reading work on Fiverr but I’ve also been working hard in the background to get some things ready.
