When not on quests, Aloïs trains every day. It’s a combination of general strength and endurance training, practicing honing her draconic-blood magic, and practicing various weapon and fighting styles

I had the pleasure of reading The Drowned Heir for SFINCS and it’s seriously such a good novella. I loved the concept and the worldbuilding in it.

You have until the end of the day to grab any book for half price or all of them for 20 bucks!

#NovemberWorldbuilders This comes up in SoBB, Ul’dac the Bloodletter was a warlord in Eilira and a follower of the saint of pain and torture. He believed he had the right to rule the Stocknan Quag, but Virenthi Flitawyn denied this. Ul’dac started a war on the Eiliran people and would ruthlessly 1/2

It's A Month of Rain & Reads Today, we have an interview with Jane Gilheaney, author of literary speculative fiction, who shares her thoughts on Irish folklore and how its appearance in modern culture differs from what she grew up with. www.readindiefantasy.com/amorar-inter... #BookSky #AMoRaR

Seconded. I will pass away with happiness if this ever happens 💕

For Aloïs it’s her pseudo-father/daughter relationship with Ser Kit and her friendship/mentorship with Kannan.

Drew a Least Weasel because the name always makes me chuckle... "Thou art the very least of weasels!" Yet ounce per ounce, probably one of the most vicious and terrifying predators on the planet (but also deadly cute!) #art #SciArt

The response to this bundle has been so amazing! Let’s keep the party rolling and get to $2,000! (Also endless thank yous to everyone that has downloaded Songs of Broken Bells from this bundle. My little debut author heart is so full.) itch.io/b/3352/trans...

I live in America—more to the point, Im sick in America. The only way I can get the meds I need is w/ Patreon. Writers get lots of lessons on building craft & honing skills. Readers get VIP access to my books and art. Everyone gets an amazing Discord community. $5/month makes a huge difference! 🔗👇🏼

Ok!! It would be awesome to get on VGen and host commissions there :3 Would you beatiful people help me get 20 RTs and 100 likes on this post so I can get my #VGenCode 💜 vgen.co/zajdart

#NovemberWorldbuilders Aloïs’ father, Alvise, was a knight and Virenthi Filekant’s bodyguard. He saved the dragon lord from an assassination attempt and was killed in the process. He’s hailed as a hero across Vieland, there is a holiday in his honor, and he’s honored at the quinquennial joust.

#AMoRaR I will forever and always sing the praises of Skylark in the Fog by @helynalc.bsky.social I don’t read a ton of sci-fi but this story pulled me in with its wonderful characters and remains solidly in my top 5 all time favorite books.

I can’t seem to *not* write found family. Pretty much every story I’ve written so far has involved a bunch of misfits with complicated family dynamics finding each other and growing together.

How am I supposed to work under these conditions?

….we should not give Líadan a gun. Although, it’d probably change the climax quite a bit

It's Friday afternoon in A Month of Rain & Reads, and after a foggy morning, it's time for an interview. This time, we hear from author and game creator Dave Dobson (@davedobson.bsky.social) about the challenges of writing bios. www.readindiefantasy.com/amorar-inter... #AMoRaR #BookSky

Y'all inspired me. For me, it's not the leaving behind or death of an old self, but an addition to the self.

#pretendpanel My brain views goals like these as a threat and then refuses to function. I have found the “a little each day” method with no real expectations for a total amount works well though.

FYI

Okay okay, I get the pagebound hype now. Points for posting while I read and making lists make brain go brrrrrr. Thank you @stevewestenra.bsky.social for getting me hooked

Quote with your cute spider bois (or goils)!

I have a poem about this

I *did* write yesterday, but I forgot to update, promise, scout's honor.

I'm putting together an indie SFF list on pagebound! Feel free to leave suggestions (self recs encouraged!). I'll be slowly updating it as I organize my TBR from hell pagebound.co/lists/e38f18...

My books are for those that want to see themselves in fantasy. I aim to make my stories as inclusive as possible with characters that are queer, neurodiverse, disabled, have different body types, have different skin colors, etc.

I've got another #SFINCS review for you, folks! I don't often read horror, but stories like these definitely make me think I should delve into the genre more. Full review ⬇️ weirdereviews.blogspot.com/2025/11/reap...

I’ve been thinking it might be fun to host a writing jam on itch (using their game jam function but for flash fiction/short stories/novelettes) and then have voting to have a certain number of submissions to be created into a zine. Would people be into that?

Your friendly semi-regular reminder that the single greatest way to help your favorite authors is to rate and review the books you've read. Goodreads, Itch, Kindle, they all give you the opportunity to rate/review and it REALLY helps us get visibility!

First of the stickers for the campaign. 2, possibly 3 more coming! Just opened a poll as to whether I should sell a sheet (cheaper, smaller, thinner) or as die-cut stickers (bigger, thicker, more expensive) Let me know in the poll! (good link this time!!) www.backerkit.com/c/projects/v...

HERE'S YOUR REMINDER to review your recent reads! Indie authors rely on your reviews to connect with new readers. You can just go give a star rating! Every little bit helps. Thank you @sambeawesome.bsky.social for the idea! #5Star5th #Writing #IndieAuthor #Books #BookReview #Booksky

1 Like = 1 Lore drop Lore time! Lore time! Lore time! All my stories are written in Val'hoon, but if you want a piece of lore specifically related to Songs of Broken Bells or Dust Over the Dunes, or the unreleased Without Wings or False Knight I'm happy to oblige.

From page 31 of my upcoming novelette, Without Wings

I keep listening to this on repeat

Even if you don't succeed at something in the way you expected, the fact that you tried matters.

A reminder that the Trans People Take on the World bundle is still open for 9 more days! We’ve had such a great response that our goal has moved up, don’t let the momentum die down, go buy some awesome trans books! itch.io/b/3352/trans...

Today was a very eepy day BUT I got through folding all of my laundry and many to write a tiny bit, so we'll call it a win

Congrats New York, we all needed this 🤗

In False Knight, monsters are specifically creatures who were once kith or beast who have been mutated into something new by the Maelstrom. They usually are hostile to kith, but some have retained some of their ability to think and reason

Totaled up all of my pre-orders and sales from October and considering the state of the world and the fact that I’m a debut author I think selling 20 copies is pretty damn good. Massive thank you to everyone who’s given SoBB a chance so far, I hope you enjoy reading it 💕

Ippodo finally has my favorite matcha back in stock 😭 it’s been so long

We’re so back babes, hopefully I can keep this momentum up longer than one day. Slowly creeping up on the scene I’ve had planned out in my head for months as Aloïs and Kit investigate some missing ships.

Fiance, very stressed and anxious while he waits to hear if he got a fellowship next semester: "Is this how you feel *all* the time???" Me: "lmao yeah welcome to the anxiety club"

I think my executive functioning died today. I have can't do anything productive disease.
