I'm at this conference, and the presenter seems desperate that no one is raising their hand to ask a question, and the top of my head really itches. I already know where this is going.

It's been a while since I shared a snippet, so here's one from my Patreon site. I'll be using that site as a launching pad for fresh content in the future.....

My birthday gift to you all is this little sketch of Brand with a kitty - modeled after my own, to go with the little tweet @kdedwardsnc.bsky.social posted after DragonCon this year!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STRUMIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My first read-along - Chapters 1-3 of The Sunken Mall! I'm using Facebook as a free platform for discussion. My principality and arcana patrons on Patreon are always invited to the live Zoom where we discuss the chapters. But check out the recording here... www.facebook.com/share/v/19Wn...

Gonna go ahead and blame @kdedwardsnc.bsky.social for this near impossible standard he's set. "Everyone should have a Brand." - absolute facts, but also Damn we deserve an Addam in our lives too!

I got to have coffee with @klmcclan.bsky.social today, and it was the high point of my week!!!!!!!! I love the fact that so many readers have become friends. My life is so much fuller than it was 10 or 20 years ago. ❤️

Sometimes the order of Reddit posts more or less answer the question at hand. And fuck that senator.

Heading on a plane home soon! What a hell of a great weekend. But if anything does go wrong, please, I want you all to know that by the end of the series, yes, Brand does get a cat.

“Where is your hair? What have you done?”

I'm working to expand my little social media perch! If any of you use Facebook, there's now a New Atlantis reading group you can join if you'd like! Let me see if this link works.... www.facebook.com/groups/14461...

One of the hardest things about being neurodivergent is that when the world is on fire & people are upset, you never know if they're upset with YOU personally or the WORLD. I think that's why I'm a writer. Because when Rune is confused, I can make Brand say, "No, it's you, it's all fucking you."

Oh, my heart. What memories -- such a part of my childhood. From Superman's best villain, to the matriarch of the best roadtrip movie I've ever seen. RIP Terrance Stamp. Sleep well, Bernadette.

@kdedwardsnc.bsky.social got over 40 dollars from me in the last 2 weeks from his tarot sequence books 😭 I was ADDICTED! I even read The Eidolon

(feat. the hanged man from the tarot sequence by @kdedwardsnc.bsky.social )

MY DRAGON CON SCHEDULE!!!!!!

Public survey! Help me plan my fall and winter! www.patreon.com/posts/feedba...

Picked up some HR consulting work. Need to be onsite first thing this morning. Universe: Challenge accepted.

I've been reading about this new cat hair color, salty liquorice. Vader has these tufts of hair that start black but grow out gray or white. I was worried something was wrong....but is this salty liquorice?? (My nephew takes all the best photos of Vader.)

I'm doing a Q&A in 25 minutes with my Patreon patrons. What weird questions do you think they should ask me that I may never have been asked before?

Okay, I blushed. braincinema.carrd.co#lastsun

It's been a minute since I posted a snippet here -- I still do it often on my Patreon site. Here's one from a week or two ago, for anyone interested! Happy Saturday, everyone. This is an extract from a series of comedic "round diary" entries that may appear before every chapter heading in TMC.

If one more bug dive bombs my porch cocktail, I'm just going to start calling it protein.

Playing Assassin's Creed: Shadows. You can more or less pet every cat and kitten you see so that they make loving cat purrs and meows at you. Wednesday is ready to stick a claw in my eye.

A little fun: Brand from “Holiday Scenes” an extra for #thetarotsequence by @kdedwardsnc.bsky.social In the story, there are no asterisks, but I didn’t want to get censored! #tarotsequence #art #fanart #myart #sketchbook #mysketchbook #brandstjohn #kdedwards

Wait! What? WAIT! Another one! Okay, I'm going to drive by her house and chuck HOURGLASS THRONE & EIDOLON over the gate and onto her driveway like an old-timey newspaper. *I do not know where Felicia Day lives or whether she has a gate. But I would love to send her a copy of Book 3.

🫣. 👀. 😍.

Finally got around to adding my full-time writing announcement to GR. FYI.... www.goodreads.com/author_blog_...

Brand St John from #thetarotsequence by the freaking awesome @kdedwardsnc.bsky.social I’m endlessly inspired by this queer fantasy series! #kdedwards #tarotsequence #brandstjohn #brandonstjohn #watercolorpainting #fanart #myart #myfanart #mysketchbook #sketchbook #art

Lady Time, aka Lady Jade from #thetarotsequence by the freaking amazing @kdedwardsnc.bsky.social Colored pencil on paper #tarotsequence #fanart #fantasyart #mysketchbook #myart #myfanart #ladytime #thehourglassthrone

Rune St John and Addam St Nicholas from The Tarot Sequence by @kdedwardsnc.bsky.social I’m on a kick…colored pencil on paper. I get so much inspiration from these books!! #tarotsequence #thetarotsequence #fanart #fantasyart #thelastsun #thehangedman #thehourglassthrone #myart #mysketchbook

It took me two hours to spot the fly inside the house which, in retrospect, fully explains my cats' insane acts of acrobatics.

Everything I cook these days contains a special little ingredient called cat hair.

Rereading The Last Sun by @kdedwardsnc.bsky.social and I still come across snippets that I forgot how much I liked. Quinn is the best. 😂

Okay, I now know and love a Taylor Swift song. LONG LIVE is totally an anthem for Book IV and V; every word in it fits the climax of a certain storyline.

I just grabbed my coffee from the barista and sat back down at someone else's table in front of someone else's laptop, and now I need to move towns.

“Yes, I am.”

Today I became a full-time writer. (So if you'll excuse me, I need to change out of my pajamas and head to the cafe to write.) Coming very soon: a shitload of new content and the finished manuscript for The Misfit Caravan. ❤️ Be well, KD

Addam, Rune, and Brand from The Tarot Sequence by @kdedwardsnc.bsky.social These three hold a very special place in my heart and I needed to draw some fanart of them again. #thetarotsequence #myart #runesaintjohn #addamsaintnicholas #brandsaintjohn #thelastsun #thehangedman #thehourglassthrone

Sometimes the camera works magic.

Look where i am

A rare lunch break out writing. I’ll be flipping over another cover tile this weekend. But grateful today for a lovely courtyard in the shade.

Well, add "the splashing of orange juice into a cup" to the list of things that startle and offend Vader.

Only a writer could say, with a perfectly serious face, "No, sorry, I need to stay in tonight and watch porn so I can get ready for a scene I'm writing this weekend."

Ten Days of Pride! "The Tarot Sequence" by KD Edwards @kdedwardsnc.bsky.social is an urban fantasy series with a chosen one, dark mysteries, many many magical battle scenes, and a sprinkling of creatures from a variety of mythologies…

Happy Pride everybody! 🌈 My covers for 'Together in a Broken World' by @pmwintersauthor.bsky.social, 'The Lotus Empire' by @tashasuri.bsky.social, and 'The Hourglass Throne' by @kdedwardsnc.bsky.social To name just a few works of fantastic LGBTQ+ fiction you can check out any time of year.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE AWESOME ARTIST JAKE SHANDY! @jakeshandy.bsky.social When I do more TMC promotion, I'll share all the comic panels he created for me. I love his artwork so much.

My nephew took this — it totally caught a moment.
