This is a story which has been told before. My twist on it, if there is a twist to be found, is to present it (mostly) from an alien perspective.
My Niche?
These are stories that aren’t historical fiction, are not set on Earth, but are set in a world very analogous to Earth, with strong inspirations from real history, and with “fantastic” elements which are…I want to say subtle, but that’s not quite right. Tightly integrated might suffice.
Terror of Age Release Post and Author’s Note
There's some regicide, a stolen magic sword, and some flashy sympathy magic, but mostly this is a story about an immortal witch and the way she traps herself in her own mind with the terrors and regrets of centuries of living in the world.

I finished the first draft of Impressions, which is now with my writing group and other beta readers for feedback before I start my cycle of revisions, solicit more feedback, and finally begin sending it out to possible literary agents. That the whole revision process lies ahead makes the “I’m finished” a bit less satisfying.
