"I can't afford to support my favorite author right now, I—" Reviews. Reviews are free AND they are a gift to authors that can keep on giving (i.e., exposure, marketing, algo boosts, etc.) Please, give the gift of reviews to your authors this holiday season. It really can make a difference!

The Smashwords End of Year Sale is on, and the dauntingly long list can be hard to wade through (especially with all the gen AI these days). I’ve curated a list of books I recommend or am interested in, all AI free to the best of my ability, and all under $3! 🌈📚 kilagreene.dreamwidth.org/7990.html

I think today is a good day to share my second piece for the Magic: The Gathering in Miniature III exhibition that'll be in Gallery Nucleus Jan 31 - Feb 15, 2026: Elspeth in Bloomburrow with sweet pea wings! 💖 This is done in acrylics on the back of a Swords to Plowshares artist proof.

If I’m stuck in a video game and the only guide is a YouTube video I will just figure it out myself. I greatly prefer the text based guides from GameFAQs thanks. Much more convenient when you could download them or print them out.
