When you run out of white printer paper so all your students get reading packets on red and green paper, the only paper I had in the classroom 🤣🤣🤣

Reminder that if you use AI, you're helping to accelerate the extinction of multiple species via climate change and are a selfish ass.

I'm excited to show off the cover of Shannon Knight's upcoming book, Catamorphosis. The book sounds creepy and unsettling in the very best way. Take a look! @shannonknight.bsky.social #bookblogger #booksky #horror ##coverreveal

In this week's blog, I'm discussing the rewrite project I've mentioned a few times here. It's going well, but it's only the first step in my overall plan... The Mage War Chronicles is a big undertaking. You can read the full post here: ajcalvin.net/sometimes-st... #amwriting

Reborn in Ash is getting a new cover! The blurb error meant I needed to redo the cover files, and my painting isn't a good cover, so I've designed a new one. Some folks may have seen it when I was asking for feedback. I think I need to do a few tweaks, then I'll be sending it to my newsletter.

#WIPSnips The word for February 12 is DEFENSE Dorilian's emotional "defenses" are strong. They've had to be, given what he's faced through six books. In this snip from THE RILL LORD, he tells Hans about Marc Frederick, the great love and mentor of his life. #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #BookSky

#FantasyIndiesFebruary My comfort reads: - Waypoints: My Scottish Journey by Sam Heughan - Sphinx's Princess duology by Esther M. Friesner - The Apothecary Diaries by Natsu Hyuuga

For funsies (and for lacking elsewhere), a snip from the "beluadex" on a resident of a long abandoned, massive steel mill in Yinzburgh: the oxidcap. 🍄 Mana, Zola, and Fioné find a bunch of these on their "tryout" assignment and they're unusually aggressive (but smol). #WIPSnips

I love them so much my babyyyy (singular) 🥹🥹💕

Hank gasped as a pitchfork was pressed against his legs. He was forced into the barn. As his eyes adjusted to the #darkness, he saw dozens of feathery shapes staring up at him. “We’re in charge now, old man,” a voice clucked. It was every farmer’s biggest fear: a chicken coup. #vss365

It turns out that writing the "Breaking News" section for each chapter is one of the most fun and hopeful aspects of working on this book. There are new technologies that actually make lives better. There are people helping each other. I get to write about those things.

Hello #portfolioday I'm Audre ('charamath') & I usually work as a vis-dev/concept artist (specializing in designing critters) for animation & games. Nowadays I'm working on my own stuff, including several new illustrated books & an indie game, while I wait for jobs to rebound. linktr.ee/charamath.

one day we'll do a fanfiction anthology where we get a bunch of authors together and have them all write one short story in someone else's world

James Van Der Beek died? I'm in shock. Rest in peace.

Today is Book Quote Wednesday and the word is UNBELIEVEABLE In THE GOD SPEAR a few unbelievable things happen, largest of which is the Dorilian is in Amallar at all. But nearly as unbelievable is that a Kheld woman insists on flirting with him. #BookQW #BookSky

‘I’m embarrassed by having AI write my books so I use a pen name but I’m still proud of not doing any work.’ I mean, you’re a liar yearning for a participation trophy, but at least you realise no one else would knowingly buy your slop. Points for self awareness, I guess?

I saw an author I enjoyed justifying its use by saying Brandon Sanderson’s anti-AI stance isn’t fair because he’s already a big name. And I was like—he became a big name before AI. I returned the book to KU and unfollowed. I wanted to know how the series ends but there are better things to read.

In her new book, @lyndseycroal.bsky.social gives us a city where it always rains. Uncanny, considering the weather we’re having in the UK now. My #review of In This City, Where it Rains bluebookballoon.blogspot.com/2026/02/revi... #horror #BookSky 📚💙 (It’s a cracking read!) @lunapress.bsky.social

‘I can’t live without AI!’ Were you born three years ago? Is this your first time experiencing the wonder of human thought and free will? ‘Can’t live without AI’ How embarrassing.

💕 #FantasyIndiesFebruary 💕 Feb 10 My series is a slooooooow burn, but it's pretty obvious in book one who the main love interest is, even if it takes them a little time to realize (or admit) it for themselves.

Age verification? My sister and I saw the ending of Poltergeist II in theaters after Bambi ended.
