Hello!

Welcome to my Substack. What can you expect from me here? Writing updates, release news, and behind the scenes tidbits from the Ruinous Reign series.

I wanted to create a more informal space to chat with readers new and old. Here you’ll find semi-regular offerings on writing romantic fantasy, folklore, and things that go bump in the night. Expect them, to be sporadic, as if penned by a charming but morally questionable immortal living in the rafters of some dusty cathedral, yearning for human-like connection.

A treatise on thirst, if you will.

I’m willing to test the waters, and if I ever feel like it’s something I’m unable to keep up with, I’ll let you know.

If you have questions Ruinous Reign Series-related, writing related, or something else entirely, let me know. Want to talk vampires? Korrigans? Folklore? Stubborn princesses? Maximilian I’s marriage by-proxy to Anne? I’m happy to answer.

DM or email me things at authorbriarsomerset@gmail.com.
