Welcome to Hyba Is Writing!

My name is Hyba! I'm a writer and hopefully soon-to-be published author, and this is my new blog!

As an aspiring author, I've been seriously working on a set of books for the past few years. At a glance, these are the books I'm currently working on and wish to publish soon:

• Apartment - an eerie suspense novella about a suspect group of neighbors and their apartment building coming under siege. It has elements of thriller, magical realism, and mystery, but it's meant to be a literary work that makes statements about humanity.
• The Fall of the Black Masks - a high fantasy novel that brings together a set of characters during a time of civil unrest and (ironically enough, what with recent global happenings) rampant disease. 
• The Pirates of Sissa - set in the same world as The Fall of the Black Masks but in another state altogether, this book tells the story of two characters from opposite sides of a decades-long conflict and how they must work together to usher in a peace for their peoples. The story delves into subjects like racism, ethnocentrism, imperialism, and more.
• An Entity In Your Midst - a horror novel based loosely around Eastern European folklore and urban legend. Split into four main parts, each section of the book focuses on a specific kind of 'entity' that is haunting the fictional little town of Kostya.
• ...and some more! As will probably become very clear throughout the course of this blog, I tend to bite off more than I can chew.

This blog is a place for me to share updates about my writing experiences, my works, and lessons that I've learned along the way. I will share tips and advice - lessons that I had to learn the hard way - and snippets of writing. You will also find that I enjoy sharing posters and other graphics to go along with my stories, and I hope you enjoy them!
