About Kayla's main work-in-progress (WIP):

My current WIP is a New Adult high fantasy novel that focuses on a young woman who was born with unique magical abilities in a world where, while magic isn't outlawed, those with magical abilities are typically ostracized. In the hopes of finding a relative who's been missing for around a decade, this young woman embarks on a dangerous quest that will force her to confront dark secrets concerning her past, present, and future that may just impact the entire world.

 

Current status of Kayla's WIP:

Being revised

Updated Aug. 10. 2021

 

I finished my main WIP in 2020. Now I'm revising it because my last round of editing and my start on the sequel revealed some major plot holes. I'm also trying to trim the word count from its current 127,000 word mark to at least 120,000 words.

 

 

Concept Art:

I've created a lot of artwork for my WIP, much of which is either traditional (I drew it with graphite on paper) or digital. The rest of the traditional work I created will have to be scanned into my computer before I can share any of it, but I did find some artwork I created a while ago that is finished enough to share now.

 

This is a dragon from the world I created. I need to update the wings.

(This one was sort of a gag. My mother always ragged on me for not showing all the limbs of the animals I drew, hence the notes in this pic.)

 

 

 

Cosplay:

 

For Halloween (2020), I did a cosplay that mixed the main character from my current WIP with a sort of Rose the Hat (from the Doctor Sleep movie based on the Stephen King book of the same name) vibe. The mix was kind of necessary because I didn't have everything I needed to pull off just my main character. Maybe next year I'll be able to get it closer, but it was still fun! At least I was able to capture her attitude.

I also have other works-in-progress. One is a dark poetry collection and another is an anthology of short stories in the genre of dark fantasy/supernatural. I plan to self publish both collections, and when I do, I will share them here.
