In the Årdrakin Empire, technology and religion aren't strangers to one another. The temple integrates technology in its temples and uses it to study the zhiska’s power. The public gets justification for their beliefs. Can you see any problems with this? Would you choose one or the other, or both?

Come on a journey with me lol Extra credit if you can figure out where they go, what they inspired, or which characters they're coded to. #booksky #writesky 📚🪐💙

Canadians! Here's a handy guide for how to write to your MP about whatever issues you're currently concerned about. (You know, if you're like me and you spent too much time doomscrolling and need a justification for staying a little too informed) resultscanada.ca/wp-content/u...

90% of the time my dreams are unusable. But that other 10%… I dreamt the Exile’s Forge scenes in The First Sin basically from start to finish. For Children of Wrath, I've frequently taken breaks to daydream new scenes…and maybe ended up snoozing in the process. 😂 Do you ever remember your dreams?

Hello reader, do you fancy a 🔥🔥🔪 REVOLUTION??! #BookSky 💙📚 🪐📚 Check out the books the Revolutionary May Sale, organized by @jennelikejennay.bsky.social! sheilajenne.com/revolutionar... In my dark fantasy, Imbued, a rebel mage fights to free the persecuted magic users of Kamphua...at all costs.

Would you like something dark, lush, traumatic but ultimately cathartic as a beach read this summer because you're a weirdo like me? 🌊😎 Request an eARC of Untwined, my soon to be released duology-concluding novel! You cry, I profit (from using your tears in shady rituals) forms.gle/nGYWNuSrDvEN...

Except, oh… I did the laundry. (At Mom’s house. My washer imploded last weekend.) So there’s that. Please clap.

I didn’t accomplish anything today except going to the doctor and having a very frank conversation with her about my current state and concerns. Everything else was just…blah. Dad will be in the hospital for at least 6 more weeks. 😔

Canada Fiction Fest is a brand-new #CanLit showcase featuring books and authors from across the country. Sign up now to get notified when the event launches on June 21st. Registration for our full schedule of FREE author readings and discussion panels is now OPEN! 😀 ➡️ fictionfest.ca

Choose Your Fighter, The First Sin Edition! Who would you want defending you, Jälen or Darïus? Or, who do you think would win in a fight, Jälen or Darïus? Let me know in the comments! Art by Cheyenne Brammah. 📚🩵 🪐📚

“Do you truly believe the genocide of my entire species is equitable recompense for the crimes of a small handful of people?” Cïradår doesn't mince words! What do you think? Is he being diplomatic here, or just his usual asshole self? Quote from Chapter 24 of Children of Wrath, coming soon! 📚🩵 🪐📚

Does music enhance your reading experience? (It certainly helps my writing experience!) The First Sin has a playlist! Check the post image for a selection of songs from the list or click here to experience the entire thing: open.spotify.com/playlist/28D...

Applications for 2026 open June 1 and will close July 26 or when I’ve received 25 applications (as I am just one person!). Bookmark the page so you have it later: editsinthemargins.com/assistance/ (Please keep in mind that this is for those who truly need it/can’t afford the edit without help.)

Finally, I can tell you what I’ve been up to in the background! On June 1, I’ll be opening applications for financial assistance up to $4,000 to help alleviate the costs of developmental editing for an author who would otherwise be unable to afford it.

Meeting at the hospital tomorrow about Dad. I’m struggle bussing real hard today because of the worried anticipation over what they’re going to say. 😞

The Copyright Office wants to raise registration fees and eliminate the cheapest option for solo authors. More than 500 of our members said this would hurt them. So we filed comments. Here's what's at stake—especially if you're watching the AI cases.

I just... love books!! And authors and readers and editors and all the other people who make books happen. How lovely it is that we play together in make-believe worlds, imagined realities, endless possibilities. Not a day goes by that I don't feel endlessly enthralled by human creativity. BOOKS

The blurb is here! The blurb is here! Children of Wrath is a dark, spicy, adult science fantasy novel that is Book 2 in the All Our Sins Saga. I'm hoping to have it finished for this autumn! Check out the blurb below and read some sample chapters here: akairondragon.ca/books/ #BookSky 📚🩵 🪐📚

I've been the luckiest man for not just the last 7 years of marriage but almost twice as long that we have known each other. Happy Anniversary hon!

Can you believe it? Children of Wrath's cover is complete and I can't wait to share it with you—but this teaser will have to do for now. I'm still dealing with challenges at home (Dad is still in the hospital) but my goal is to have COW finished in time to publish this autumn! #BookSky 📚🩵 🪐📚

It’s my 7th wedding anniversary today! I am married to the excellent and awesome and kind and generous @imironwolf.bsky.social ! He’s been so supportive the entire time I’ve known him, but especially lately while Dad is in the hospital. I love you hon and look forward to many more years together!

At 4:30pm EDT on June 21st some of our #ScienceFiction author will be reading from their books! Registration is now open and we'll send you a reminder so you don't miss the session! Don't forget to check out our full list of live panel discussions and readings at: FictionFest.ca/events #BookSky

Our first group of #SciFi authors is up on day 1 of #FictionFest! (It's going to be a BUSY day -- we have FIVE live sessions scheduled!) If you love #books and supporting #Canadian authors, you should definitely come. It's all online, so you can be anywhere and still check out our event!

Do you believe in fortune telling? The årdrakin do! They use tarot and palm reading in their religion. The other day I had Chinese takeout. The fortune cookie said, "You will make a name for yourself." Hell yeah! (Hopefully a good one! lol) Will it happen because of my books? Time will tell!

I don't show my writing setup very often. Most of the time I'm on the sofa with my iPad. But sometimes I need my computer! I work at the PC mostly to make social media posts and to work through inline edits. And stream. On rare occasions, I do that too. Yes, yes that is a knitted voodoo doll.😂

"Because sometimes you step in the wrong place and a god notices." A mysterious quote from The First Sin that sums up the whole book! But who said it? That's the question… You can buy the ebook directly from my shop! This supports me immensely. 🫶 akairondragon.ca/books/shop/a... #BookSky #bsnm

Also on June 21st, a mixed-genre panel discussion on the inspiration behind the books! And did we mention that all our live sessions are FREE and online so anyone in the world can attend? Register now at: FictionFest.ca/events #ReaderSky #BookSky #CanCon

I have another book review today! StarHawks: Aegis by Vennessa Robertson was an action-packed military sci-fi with a strong female lead character, set in a relatively dystopian future galaxy. I had a good time with this book! My full review fanfiaddict.com/review-starh... #booksky #bookreview

Hey all. We're so close to the goal and there's only a few days left on the sale! Go check it out while you can! So much great work for only $17!!!

FFS 😡😡😡 This is the most ridiculous bullshit!

I mean it's true lmao Follow me for more amazing content 😂 #booksky #writesky

I'm a slow reader…because I concentrate on my own work so much! But I'm making an effort to get back into reading. Desiccate is an ARC by a good friend of mine, while the other three books on this list are ones I have been meaning to read for ages. How about you? What's on your TBR? #BookSky

• Fantasy: adventure, cozy, dark, epic, fairy tale, mythological, science fantasy • Sci-Fi: apocalyptic, comedic, hard, litRPG, soft, space opera, suspense • Horror: cosmic, creature feature, eco-horror, gothic, psychological, supernatural, survival

What types of books am I good fit for? I specialize in editing sci-fi, fantasy, and horror novels for middle grade, YA, and adult. I will also work on the occasional mystery. My favourite subgenres:

A couple of posts back, I shared a slice of the Tsinna Clanhold map from my first book, The First Sin. Did you know there are extra details, most of which aren't included in the book? I wanted the map to seem "alive" and hope fans will one day speculate on lore for them! That would be pretty cool.

My dad has been moved to a rehab unit in the hospital. They’ll try to help him relearn how to stand and walk on his own again. If he can. Last night he “fell out of bed” which is hospital speak for “tried to get up on his own and collapsed”. Nothing feels good today.

THE WINDS OF WAR AUDIO BOOK IS OUT NOW! ✨ Over 20 hours of glorious epic fantasy now available for all who prefer listening! 🎧 Reposts appreciated; help me spread the word! 🔁 // #Booksky #Fantasy #Writing

It's official: nobody can ever criticize idiosyncratic levels of technology in fantasy or other speculative fiction ever again. Why? Because the Neanderthals invented dentistry. (And knew how to perform root canals to boot.) journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...
