New Fiction Announcement: Lily — Beloved of the Gods
Added 2025-11-04 18:31:29 +0000 UTCHey everyone, first let me say thanks so much for supporting me here on Patreon!
It's Writathon season over on Royal Road, and I'm doing a more lighthearted story!
The goal of Writathon is to write 55,555 words in 35 days, and I got a bit of a late start, but I'm catching up fast!
All paid patrons can read two chapters ahead of Royal Road, and maybe more depending on my writing speed! If you like it, consider heading back over to Royal Road and leaving a rating or even writing a review.

Here's the blurb:
Lily's a girl, she's poor, and she's gonna evolve! gonna pay for her parents' retirement!
Lily's Papa got a workplace injury in a world without workers comp! Now her parents are at risk of eviction, and possibly even debtor's prison. But Lily's not gonna let that happen!
Blessed by the gods, Lily's gonna get that bag and help her parents, her community, and maybe more...?
This eight year old's going to pay for her parents' retirement!
Wait, Mr. God of Death, what are you doing...?!
---------------------------------------------------------------
I'm aiming for a cozy, high-stakes but low-tension sort of novel this time! I hope everyone can relax and cheer for Lily as she makes a lot of money! There's no magic per se, but the setting has gods and goddesses that are somewhat active, when they feel like it, and supernatural things happen.
I'm using the Strong Lead tag, which is true in an unusual way... explicitly explained in chapter two!
Chapters 1-6 will dump starting at 10:45am today, and additional chapters will be uploaded as they're written, with no set schedule, although I expect to write at least one chapter per day. This won't interfere with The Legend of the Meta-Defying Smith Who Saved the Kingdom or Sarah's Story, it's just a bonus!
I hope you all enjoy :D
