but then projects like WHAT ELEGANT STARS come along, and i think--hot damn. *this* is why speculative fiction exists. (kinda. it exists for lots of other reasons, including that it's fun going "what if xyz" happened. but, you know what i mean.) www.kickstarter.com/projects/dav...

My novella THE HIDDEN ONES is for sale over at @rebelsatori.bsky.social right now. It's just $8 for the print copy, plus if you use code ANALOG it will take off another.... $0.80? I have a feeling the code is more useful for full price titles. rebelsatori.com/product/the-...

Two ttrpg party illustrations for @davering.bsky.social and friends! Two different settings, two different vibes, two different mediums, two and a half years apart. (Most recent on the left, props to anyone who can say what restaurant they're at ;D )

Oh hey this dropped when I wasn't looking! "A Reckoning of Queens" is a SILK AND STEEL-inspired fantasy short story with origami magic, unusual rules of succession, and a dreadful dead king. Delighted for it to have found a home at SWORDS AND SORCERY. swordsandsorcerymagazine.com/a-reckoning-...
