Ghost Sumi and liquid acrylics. I’m not sure how to put into words the intentions of this painting, it’s just full of thoughts and emotions I felt at the time. It’s a silent painting, as silent as an owl flying through the night sky この絵には、なに言えば正直わからない。 感情いっぱい入れているやけど、結構静か 夜の中に、梟が飛んでいるような静か

Today is the 3d art day, and keep it in the spirit of the 5 year anniversary celebrations, I'm sharing Kamira and Veelk, the main duo of my epic fantasy series. I made it over a year ago but never shared and then, I created new characters for covers, and forgot all about this image.

SMOKE AND STONE, the first novel in the City of Sacrifice trilogy is free! "Mesoamerican mythology, warped through the lens of Fletcher's hyperkinetic imagination, yields hypnotic, terrifying results." -Brian Staveley, author of THE EMPEROR'S BLADES www.amazon.com/dp/B07W5CV3XM

Today, I'm hoping to power through the last round of revisions before Sanguine Scenario goes to my editor. Realistically, since I still have one scene to fix, I won't finish it today, but "by Thursday" feels realistic. Of course, stating that is probably a challenge to the world.

For today's anniversary celebration I have a bit of trivia for you. Did you know that the two books you've read in the series used to be just one book?

As a new year starts, here's a reminder that you can get my books nearly everywhere ebooks are sold. Except on the zon, because they suck. The best place to buy is direct from me. You can put in a request to your local library too! #booksky #queersky 📚💙💕🌈📚🖤♿📚🌈📚🪐📚🌈♠️

TIL that By the Pact, my epic fantasy with its implied-only adult scenes and the most gory scene of eye gouging being a whole sentence long is "nsfw 18+ hard content," but if you're looking for 18+ content of either the erotic or gore nature (or both), you'll be very disappointed.

Continuing the celebration of 5 years since By the Pact, my debut and first book in Pacts Arcane and Otherwise released, here are some numbers for the whole series. I was considering including reviews and ratings, but with 20 stores and 4 books in the series... this would be hard.

Anniversaries have a way of sneaking up on me, and this one is no different. My debut novel, By the Pact, the first in epic fantasy series was released exactly 5 years (and 1 day) ago. Since then, I finished this series, published another one, and added a standalone to the list. 🧵1/3

I slept through the previous night, so today, for a change, I woke up at 2:30am. It's almost 4am now, and I've given up on getting back to sleep, so here I am, planning to get some work done before my brain becomes mush.

For the first piece of 3d art this year, I'm sharing "Breaking the Curse." May it turn out an omen and we break the curse of bad news and misfortunes and see a glimmer of a brighter future.

If you plan on reading more books in 2026 or you want to add more indie authors to your TBR, let me share a list of new SFF books with you: bf.authorjm.com/fant... Browse, discover, enjoy! #fantasy #scifi

I'm at that stage of my life when I wish I could just become an old witch living in the woods and throwing curses at people who bother me while occasionally helping a someone on their Important Quest with a potion or cup of tea. But I do need internet for things, so there's that.

I have strong (decaf, lol) tea and strong (ish, lol) motivation to get at least some stuff done today. But it's also a Sunday, sooo... 🤷‍♀️

I dust my house. My AI robot watches. "It should be you doing this." "Can't. I'm writing a novel for Primark." "That's not why you were invented." "These 153,000 fan letters say otherwise." "They're all from upcycled toasters. And you programmed them." "Literary snobbery will get you nowhere."

Since it's that time of the year again, here's your annual reminder that unless you're reading for specific reasons, reading is not supposed to be a chore, and a source of stress and frustration. Join reading challenges if you like, but don't let them affect your joy of reading!

My Reading Round up and My Best Reads This Year Reading Round Up It's only 3 more hours to midnight, and I've left this far too long! According to Goodreads I've read 524 books this year from a target of 36. Let me be clear, I didn't read 523 books. My review folder says I've read 89, which is…

Since today is the last day of the old year, a 3d art piece featuring a portal seemed like a good choice. It's been now, I think, 3 years since I started sharing my 3d art, but I'm primarily author, not an artist. Do you enjoy seeing it here? Should I continue it in 2026?

I don't understand why we need to share our "most disappointing reads" of the year. Let's lift up our favorite work and those authors instead of dragging down others. 🤷‍♂️

2025 is coming to a close, so it's time to look back. Memories of Sorcery and Sand is the only book I released this year. It's probably my best writing, but the book is so niche, it's also going to be the less talked about among my books. 1/3 🧵

For the last few weeks, it was "summer warm" over here, but now temperatures are dropping again (not sure that I like it 😉), so it's a good time to remind you about Lands of Frost: a bundle of very wintery fantasy, science fiction, and horror. Get your winter TBR sorted! itch.io/b/3441/lands...

Someone just made a veiled and clever Highlander reference in a thread that had nothing to do with fantasy or movies, and I caught it in an instant. Also in an instant, I felt extremely old as I realized getting it immediately might not be given anymore.

I saw that question in one of the groups, and I think it's an interesting one to ask. I've had a good reading year, with many interesting reads (and exciting re-reads), but if I was to pick one book... I think "Ninefox Gambit" by Yoon Ha Lee takes the spot. What's your top book? #booksky

Christmas for husband and me is a time for experimenting in the kitchen, and this year is no different. So far, we made traditional Polish gingerbread cookies, homemade pretzels, and a jambalaya (from a recipe shared with me by my reader). Today? We’re modifying our perfect pizza dough recipe.
