"There is nothing like a good war to unite people." ~Sam Vimes of the Night's Watch, a #quote from JINGO by Terry Pratchett. #booksky

Linghun by Ai Jiang Paints Grief and Humanity In Shadow

As an aside, "spell" is such a great - and ancient - English word. It used to be a verb for speaking/talking, "spellian." But this was an age where words had power. Speaking the right way could cast a "spell." In 'The Hobbit' the dwarf song in Bag End casts a literal spell on Bilbo.

Tolkien is of course one of the best examples of a writer who deeply understood all aspects of "spell." In his famous 1930s poem 'Mythopoeia,' he writes about how the best bards could use words to "kindle hearts with legendary fire."

March of the Ents by Ted Nasmith 🍃

Edgar Allan Poe sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/poe_ed... died on this day, so here are some of Carlo Farneti's illustrations to the 1927/1928 editions of his 'Histoires Extraordinaires' and 'Nouvelles Histoires Extraordinaires'.

On this episode, @chrysgorman.bsky.social and @benjamingorman.bsky.social talk with @rj.rjhuneke.com, author of ANTS WAKING, about his efforts for the Autistic Self Advocacy Network ( @autisticadvocacy.org ) and Global Action for Trans Equality ( @gateorg.bsky.social ) bit.ly/WNWHome

Everyone should get to see themself in fiction. But I often can't find as much neurodiverse rep as I'd like, especially in SFF. So for ADHD Awareness Month, I've gathered 22 mainly ADHD authors & their fantasy/ other books with main/significant ADHD chars in this bundle 🪐📚💙 itch.io/b/3300/adhd-...

I’m proud to be a part of this (both me and my MC has AuDHD).

Alix is one of my favorite writers, and this book is amazing.
