Welp, I guess I've bitten the bullet & hauled my shy, awkward, introverted arse in front of a camera.😶‍🌫️💀 Watch the full & uncut (1 hour 20 min) author interview here: www.patreon.com/posts/139192... I also included a downloadable audio-only version if you'd rather not look at my uggo mug. O__,._o💙📚

Fresh new article has just dropped for the peeps on the Innocent Tier (and above): www.patreon.com/posts/if-you... This one addressed building a solid community around your writing and/or art. Something tells me you're all going to love this one. 😉 💙📚

If you're like me and suffer from Xmas blues, my stories might cheer you up!💙📚 They feature characters facing insurmountable odds, standing up against the Abyss/Void, fighting unspeakable cosmic horrors, or trying to outrun a living, reality-erasing Darkness...😚 www.louiseblackwick.com/en-US/books

Had a lovely time yesterday at @eckhardischebeck.bsky.social'sopening Art Exposition (#Kulturbahnhof Hiltrup, near Münster, Germany) 🥳🎉 Meanwhile, my #BookSigning Tour around Europe continues! 💙📚 If you happen to spot me in your city, don't hesitate to say hi! 🥰❤️ #writingcommunity #louiseblackwick

Some of you wanted to see what became of my clay art project.🤗 Here's my 1st attempt at building a Darkthing - an eldritch voidspawn from the #VivianAmberville universe.💙📚 Darkthings have no eyes or smell, but are drawn to the light of human consciousness. They live in the #backrooms of reality.

Early 2025, 125,000 of you pre-ordered "Vivian Amberville - The Book of Chaos" on paperback or hardback. For 250 of you, I've hidden a secret message visible only under UV light + a unique code.🔍 E-mail me that code to get a FREE BOOK!💙📚 You guys have no idea how LONG I've waited to reveal this!😅

A while back, I've created an Indie Game Developers Mega Starter Pack as a way of organizing my professional network & keeping track of my fav #gamedevs & #indiedevs on Bluesky. That Starter Pack is full, so I created part 2. If you wish to be included, kingly drop me a line!♥️👾 go.bsky.app/Pec2oKM

Yesterday I had the extreme honour & privilege to meet & hangout with legendary Game Developer David Fox @davidbfox.com of LucasArts renown: #ZakMckracken, #ManiacMansion, #MonkeyIsland, #IndianaJones & the talented Annie Fox @anniefox.com in Helmond, NL Thank you for making my childhood magical!♥️🥰

Fun fact #3: in my previous career, I did some work in Cryptography (encrypting & decrypting written messages/cyphertext) Since #cryptography is still a pretty big passion of mine, I've hidden lots of "secret messages" throughout all my books. The LARGEST SECRET of all still remains undiscovered💙📚

Sometimes being an #author is a lot more than sitting behind a dusty desk. Sometimes it's about putting yourself out there & building your dreams in an unconventional way.♥️ Behind-the-scenes of "Louise Blackwick vs. the Algorithm" #YoutubeShow, a little passion project of mine due to debut soon. 💙📚

These incredible books by @louiseblackwick.com arrived today! Each book is signed along with a very cool message. A wee selection of goodies was included that I wasn't expecting 😃 I'll save one of the teas for the start of each book. Thanks, Louise! I'm going to enjoy these 😎 💙 🖖

This is super interesting! Thank you so much for bringing it to my attention! Vivian Amberville's "Bloodeater" is sentient in a more abstract way, I suppose. The metal of the blade is thought-made-flesh (crystalized imagination) which the wielder can only refine (red) by committing acts of murder.🔪

On 23 November 2016, "Vivian Amberville - The Weaver of Odds" was first published in the Netherlands & forever changed my life.💙📚 Happy Birthday to the girl whose imagination can reshape reality! As a token of gratitude, any Vivian Amberville physical books you order today, I will personally sign.

I'm currently developing a micro-fantasy world that takes place on a single grain of rice (2 millimeter world) Building a whole MYTHOLOGY (languages, histories, geography, magic, creatures, deep lore) from scratch. 2nd time I'm doing this too. 1st time was with #VivianAmberville, my magnum opus 💙📚

Brilliant series! Looking forward to book 2!

This is, by far, the silliest promo video I've ever shot.🫣 If we never met before, my name is Louise Blackwick: a fantasy/sci-fi author based in the Netherlands.✒️📖 I'm mostly known as the author of the #VivianAmberville fantasy series & the creator of NEON SCIENCE-FICTION. Please don't meme me! 💀

Which one of the 8 Chaos Weavers is your favourite?💙📚 1. Vivian: ODDS WEAVER 2. Gold: CONCEPT BREAKER 3. Djaar: SHADOW STEALER 4. Wolfgaar: PAIN PUSHER 5 & 6. Yure & Circe: REALITY SHIFTERS 7. Antuun: THUNDER BRINGER 8. Allspice: VOID WEAVER #vivianamberville #darkfantasy #books #bestsellers #DnD

Today I wrote an extensive Patreon article about the use of "pocket realities" in literature & film. I have an example of pocket reality in my own writing. The epic dark fantasy series, Vivian Amberville is particularly teeming with them. Patreon: bit.ly/4fu8fis #pocketrealities #vivianamberville

Welp, I guess I'm here now. \o_,__O/ Super new here, so please feel free to drop me a word & tell me something about yourself. Show me that cool thing you've been working on! Ok, I'll start: I'm a full time English writer based in the Netherlands. PS: This goes without saying, but I follow back.

#Indiebooks in the Mail Vivian Amberville: The Book of Chaos By Louise Blackwick w/ #goodiebag Available where you find it Sorry, this came a few months ago, but I wasn't busy 🤷‍♂️ #writer #WritingCommunity #author #booksky #seer #books

What a lovely surprise to wake up to! ❤️ Thank you kindly for your golden words, dear Jordan! I'm enchanted to hear you enjoyed "The Weaver of Odds". Looking especially forward to hearing your thoughts on "Vivian Amberville - The Book of Chaos"

The Book of Chaos remained locked, determined to guard its secrets. Across its Shadowhide covers was the same riddle as always, hollowed out in black Ink: “Open me with the handle on the inside. I guard the only purpose of your existence” #louiseblackwick #vivianamberville #darkfantasy 💙📚 #booksky

"The blade will seek blood, crave blood, imbibe blood. It will become a thirsty Bloodeater with a mind of its own. The blood of slain enemies will make it glow crimson-red & dark veins will pulse inside of it, like a little heartbeat. Its shadow-thin edge will be able to affect subjective reality."

This is surreal! For the 1st time in my entire 12y long writing career, I got fanmail! 🫢😮😭 Thank you all for wishing me a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" today & for your many letters, plushies, Tshirts & fancy cups. Couldn't fit the "indie game posters", but those go str8 to my writing room. I am overwhelmed!😭

Little known fact about yours truly: Next to being a writer, I'm also an amateur #digital #artist. This was my first digital painting (circa 2016). It features Vivian Amberville & Kaap, the Hole-in-the-Wall beyond the fabric of reality. Both characters appear in my 1st novel, "The Weaver of Odds"

My #baywindow bench is my favourite cozy place to read, write, play guitar (and come up with wicked new ways to scare, inspire & squeeze tears from my readers). 🥰👹 Do you have a cozy nook of your own? A special creative corner? My fellow Weavers, show me where the magic happens! 💕❤️ #creativenook

Breathtaking concept art for the Orange Cloaks, known in the VIVIAN AMBERVILLE universe as "the Guild of Weavers" The Weavers are servants of the cosmos, who Weave threads of influence into the very fabric of reality. More info: vivianamberville.com/the-book #vivianamberville #darkfantasy #book

What a chunky boy this novel turned out to be! 😍♥️ Btw, today is the LAST DAY you can get limited edition Vivian Amberville goodies, a handwritten letter, tea & an autographed copy just by pre-ordering, all completely FREE. You can't get any of that after tomorrow. Pre-order link: bit.ly/494Jwig

Here's the kind of sweets & confectionaries you can find in my epic dark fantasy book series VIVIAN AMBERVILLE. My favourite are REALITY BITES: sugared pieces of reality. Eat a few & they will raise your spirits. Eat too many & you’ll get yourself in a depression! www.patreon.com/posts/123003755

I hired my budgies to do some PR work for my books.🦜 Here they are now, perched atop my monitor, urging onlookers to peruse my author website & take a quick gander at my stories! 🥰 Do it & I'll give them a tasty treat!🍇🍓 (I'll do that anyway, but don't tell them that)🤫 www.louiseblackwick.com 💙📚

This is for all the 3 people who wanted to see the luxury hardcover/hardback versions of "The Book of Chaos" & "The Weaver of Odds" (+a sneak peek into my kitchen).😶‍🌫️ Both endpapers & headbands match the cover highlights (red & orange, respectively). Dunno who needed this info, but there you are!🙃

Me, passing out from how DARK, EPIC and AWESOME the #VivianAmberville fantasy book series is! 🥰😀💀 *allegedly, also passing out from the 37°C heatwave currently passing over the Netherlands. If you still want your next Vivian Amberville book, please pray I survive this. 🥵☀️🔥 💙📚 #booksky #amreading

By the way, here's the #conceptart I made for "Vivian Amberville - The Empire of Sand" (vol 3) book cover. Obviously, it's still rough around the edges and needs a lot of detail work, but I'd still appreciate some thoughts. #vivianamberville #darkfantasy #bookcover #conceptart #pencilsketch
