My name is Shayla, and I am an aspiring fantasy author. My debut novel- Fun loving merchant's daughter Leah Cromwell yearns for a life outside of puffy dresses and singing for roomfuls of stuffy nobles. She gets more than she bargained for when she discovers her father in business dealings with an elf, creatures that he has condemned her entire life. On top of it all, the elf directs him to a midnight gambling ring, and after he steals the money of another merchant and flees town, she sees no other option than to follow him. Enter a world of elves, magic, dwarves, love, betrayal, feast and fortune. For my marketing journey, I have started a blog where I will post about media, tropes, my fantasy world, and my own experiences as a writer. If you'd like to buy me a coffee, thank you!
