James Irving is done with the magical world. Still grieving the loss of his father, friends, and a lover. He's perfectly living like a hermit. That's until someone in his part of the world starts handing out cursed books, which steal souls and spawn monsters. www.amazon.com/Dead-Mage-Wa...

Titanic Voyage is an emotional, sweet, romantic time travel novel with elements of slice of life and a touch of humor (though I've heard it will hit you in the feels pretty hard). Available everywhere, and free on Hoopla and Kobo Plus! books2read.com/TV

Pondering this has led me to think, maybe Alexander didn't really have "a role model". His father, though loving, isn't that martial image of manhood that Alexander aspires to. So Alexander is chasing an ideal that no one person embodies. …other than perhaps one person who embodies it in negative.

#OctoberWorldbuilders - Comp. Sport "Hey, I got tickets here! You look like you're new in Stahl, ever seen a water polo match? A riot! Get plastered, place bets, all while some of our best athletes (including a couple women) face off. Dundas playin' Aether tonight. Bench seats! Only 13/6d."

"New to the UNS? I can tell, it's fine, we welcome all comers! You're obviously looking for entertainment, and if you want the authentic Norden experience, you have to go bloody! We call it Mixed Martial Arts. Intense combat, and blood soaked! Come on in! Amazing men and women show matches tonight!"

I just installed a fake bookcase over the entrance to my attic, but it looks a little conspicuous on the ceiling now that I look at it.

Stormy night, sharp ears, and a darker vibe ⚡🖤 Commission finished! I call this look: Celestial Edge. 🌙 Slots are open for more character art! #DnDArt #DarkFantasy #ArtCommission #Tiefling #dndplayers #DnD #TTRPG #FantasyArt #ArtCommission #DnDCharacter

Day 10 of #FantasyIndiesSpooktober This week, I added almost 7K words to Book 7 of my Oracle of Delphi series WIP. Today, I wrote about King Perseus of Macedon, who is just about ready to start (another) war with Rome. Spoiler alert: It won't end well. 🤐 Happy Friday! 🎉 #WritingCommunity

#AwesomeCharacters aPB: Ren’s a ghost, so getting & giving gifts is near impossible, even from Blake For Ren’s latest birthday, Blake does a working to switch places with him—Blake becomes ghostly & Ren becomes human. That’s the only gift Ren gets for 80ish years of his unlife. But it’s a big one!

#AwesomeCharacters SCWWGC: I have many short stories of Sunny giving gifts to Jack & Daisy. He loves learning about a human holiday & getting gifts for his friends. It’s unclear whether they normally get gifts on birthdays (or just at coming of age), but Jack gifts him a perfect snowflake for CoA

Leptosomatic [LEP-tuh-soh-MAT-ik] (adj.) - Having a slender, thin, or frail body. Used in a sentence: ”Lisbeth’s leptosomatic frame was ideal for fainting, swooning, and otherwise collapsing decoratively upon the nearest chaise longue.”

If you enjoyed Of Knights and Books and Falling In Love then you should be reading: - Meliora by @tallimorgan.bsky.social - The Curse of Indy Moore by @sarahbarloweauthor.bsky.social - So This Is Ever After by F.T. Lukens

Individualized Christmas and birthday gifts aren't quite as ritualized for everyday people as they'd later be, but were already customs. Alexander's birthday and a birthday gift feature in 1661! Alexander himself is very generous, but might exhibit "gave you gift that *I* wanted…" syndrome 😂 +

I PAINTED THIS????!!!!

I'm holding my poem hostage gimme that last like or else it's gonna stay pinned! #poetry

Had so much a fun time in Arizona for a day! We fed some deer and went to Bearizona. It was great! Had so much a good time with @robinarnette.bsky.social and Amye ❤️😊

#FantasyIndiesOctober Day 5: Taiga is afraid of untamed fire. It burned him and his people. Mouse fears losing those precious to him; Taiga, Pnendua, and any of the other Guardian Spirits. Jule fears failure. She fears that no matter how hard she tries or how hard she searches... #writersky

Had a bit of a scenic photo shoot at an Arizona rest stop with @robinarnette.bsky.social yesterday

#QueerPrompts 28: I don't have too many characters who would burn their school down, so I'm going to go with Petanata, the historical first dragon, who was exiled from Nemoros for setting fire to the city. She probably wouldn't have liked human schooling, either.

#QueerPrompts September 28 Who would burn their school down? The Principal at Mary's school. If Mary told her to. (The Deadman Deck and The Rame Head Deck)

#QueerPrompts 28. Who would burn down their school? Really none. Not even TinTin who hates most people would. Tin might set a teacher's desk on fire but never deliberately burn a whole school down

#QueerPrompts #QueerWriters #WritingCommunity 28. Who would burn their school down? Set did once. 💀 Not intentionally though, and thankfully nobody was killed. He's gotten better at controlling his powers, but picking a fight with him is still not recommended.

#FantasyIndiesSeptember Day 28 I finished the first draft of "The Centaur's Pet" and am reviewing the first round of feedback before editing. #WritingCommunity #WritersCommunity #WriteSky #Writers #Writing #Fantasy #IndieFantasy #AdultFantasy #FantasySky

Day 28: WIP progress Havetsavain Academy of Arcane: Chasing Shadows is aiming to be a four part book, much like our first book in the series. At the moment, we are about to finish part one of our second book. We are so excited to share what we create! #booksky #FantasyIndiesSeptember

#FantasyIndiesSeptember ‘Bloodbath & Beyond’ should finally make it my way from my editor today. (!!!) ‘The Blue King’ is nowhere near editing stage, I have to completely restructure it. And ‘The Poison Never Dies’ is on first draft. (I have more WIPs.)

#FantasyIndiesSeptember What stage is your WIP in? Mielea's Lost is in final read stage (then I'll decide from there) Project Phoenix is still in rough draft. Mielea's Lost second book is in rough draft. Several unfinished WIPs are waiting in the darkness hoping to be noticed #writersofbluesky

26. My birthday is a week from Sunday, and my husband is taking me antiquing and to the Renaissance Festival. I have already been promised that I may procure treats and goodies, so I am very excited. #FantasyIndiesSeptember #writingcommunity #writesky

I'm finally at #LAComicCon! I'm at booth SP44 in South Hall! Stop by and visit if you get the chance, I'd love to meet some of you 😊

#fantasyindiesseptember Day 25- What would be your MC's favorite subject in school? Mark would probably sleep through most classes. She *might* stay awake for history. Ryvus would have liked home-ec, though by now he could probably teach the class.

#FantasyIndiesSeptember #BookSky #WritingCommunity 25 that's hardly fair lol the Etherites were all into science and engineering & The Hollow Ones were theater kids

Day 25 of #FantasyIndiesSeptember In my Oracle of Delphi series WIP, the Pythia would probably love learning about geography the most. (Subjects were limited in ancient Greece.) #WritingCommunity

Day 25 #FantasyIndiesSeptember History. Arlise always liked the histories and chronicles her tutors worked from to teach her statecraft, tactics, and strategy. In fact, her friendship with Tanis of Byrsa started largely thanks to their shared interest in the past.

Day 26: #FantasyIndiesSeptember Headed to a book fair in November to support a friend of a friend and scope out some new books. It'll be the first time I've gone to a book-specific conference/fair, so I'm excited to see how it all falls out.

#FantasyIndiesSeptember Day 25: So many education ones!! Tricky for my half illiterate cast. Taiga: History and how the world is shaped by the existence of all. Mouse: School? Why? Can I eat it? (PE) Jule: Science, history, language, economics, etiquette, magic theory... #silverleaf #writersky

I mean, yeah. Gabby has a person he used to be close to he has no idea is bi, for instance. Allison's family assumes she's straight. There's no question with Gabby, though, even when it looks like he only has girl partners. He's out loud and clear. #QueerPrompts

Nearly all of them are! How many languages? Plz don't make me count 😣 I'd have to go dig into more research that would take a bit of time to figure out... #QueerPrompts

#QueerPrompts 24 #Booksky #Writersky Half the story of "The Wild Family" is set in Otherworld, the realm of the Fae & the Fair Folk. So its pretty much queernormative as it gets. In contrast to the early-to-mid 20th century real world, where Queerness is still hiding in the shadows of society.

Gavin has definitely done clean-up events at least once a year since he was old enough to do it without a parent. Vale starts because of Gavin and Eli follows Vale. Lukas and Emily join in because Gavin insists it's now an official band activity. Darien is "busy" that day. #QueerPrompts

#QueerPrompts September 24: It's intended as a CAUTIONARY TALE, folks.

In my world, allosexuals only into one gender get teased over their pickiness a lot. No one would assume anyone is straight. The assumption is you're pan. Local language doesn't have a word for 'straight.' The best you can do is declare which specific gender you're selective towards. #QueerPrompts

Eltun in The Dragon's Emissary has a lot of socioeconomic problems, but they are very queernormative and don't really use labels, so they wouldn't assume anything ☺️ #QueerPrompts 💙📚🪐🌈🌶️

#QueerPrompts September 23: Clarke’s language doesn't have words for “gay” or “straight”, so while some folks are perceived to have a “type”, that doesn’t mean anything for their identity, and it's no surprise when someone turns up with a partner of a gender they haven't dated before.

#QueerPrompts It doesn't come up specifically, but no. My world, my rules: nobody assumes 😁
