Finally! #fantasybook

Who are your favourite LIVING Sword and Sorcery authors? I know lots of people who like #CharlesMoffat - His books are a mix of S&S + heroic fantasy. Unfortunately I see on Instagram that he has leukemia, so hopefully he doesn't end up like Robert E. Howard and dying too young. #swordandsorcery

☆☆☆☆☆ "The Frost Giant's Tomb" is one of the best books I have read so far in 2025. Perfect for anyone who likes Indiana Jones/Raiders of the Lost Ark, Robert E. Howard/Conan the Barbarian, and Charles Moffat's previous book "The Blizzard's Daughter". #fantasybookreview

There is nothing more annoying to a writer than when you sit down at your computer, anxious to start #writing and get some serious work done, and your computer decides to have an existential crisis / go on strike / restart 5 times / freeze repeatedly / function at a really sloooooow pace...

So nice to see when one of your favourite #fantasyauthors has a sale and lots of free ebooks available. :o amazon.com/author/moffat

Hate your job? Want to escape from the real world? Go read an amazing book series! We recommend "The Adventures of Wrathgar" by #CharlesMoffat to anyone looking for an immersive series of fantasy escapism.

Arguably the best #heroicfantasy / #swordandsorcery series of the 21st century. If you crave well-written fantasy, essentially a cross between REH, GRRM and Robert Jordan, then this is the go-to-series that you should be reading. #ConanTheBarbarian #gameofthrones #wheeloftime

Just downloaded issue 3 of the excellent @peasantmagazine.bsky.social Good entertaining reads 😁 #booksky

Great... Now I want to build a Lego peasant village with a blacksmith, inn, marketplace, bakery, stables, farmland, etc. #Lego #Peasants

Books 1 and 2 of the Imaro series by Charles Saunders. Great for anyone who loves #AfroFantasy and/or #SwordandSorcery I heard a rumour years ago that there was some discussion about making a #HBO show based upon the series.

Books 1 and 2 of the Wrathgar series by Charles Moffat. Great for anyone who loves #HeroicFantasy, #LiteraryFantasy and/or #SwordandSorcery An excellent series for anyone who wants lots of gritty realism, a splash of Dungeons and Dragons, and a dash of comedy.

There's a hornet in the house. I am deathly allergic to wasps/hornets. My wife INSISTS that I kill it right away. I hunt the beast down, corner it behind some curtains, & smush it against the window using a paper towel. Now I know how dragonslayers feel when tasked to kill a wee tiny dragon.

I admit that I am addicted to my local used bookstore in Ajax Ontario. I donated a large bag of old books today and purchased: The Reaver Road by #DaveDuncan. + Paw Patrol books ×3

#FantasyMapmaking Time! Practice makes perfect. The dead snake facing north was a bit of inspiration. 😉

Took a personal day today, bought 3 books at my local Used Bookstore. My haul includes: Dragons of Dwarven Depths The Dragon and the George + An anthology containing Hamlet, Othello, King Lear & Macbeth. Currently getting lunch. #fantasybooks

You don't need software to make a #fantasymap. What you want is: 1 satchel, so you can do mapmaking anytime / anywhere. 1 sketchbook. 1 toolkit containing rulers, compasses, fine tip markers, etc. + time. Hot Tip - Don't practice when feeling rushed. Boredom and lots of time is your friend.

I am not saying that Tudor architecture is superior in any way... But it is certainly more interesting to look at than Colonialism or Neoclassical. And it certainly appeals to my sensibilities. #PickeringVillage in #Ajax #Ontario

I have this theory that some people don't know how to take a joke as a comrade and instead interpret everything as attack upon themselves. Villager 1 - "Wow, that dragon really did a number on our crops, didn't he?" Villager 2 - "Why are you making fun of my farm???" Villager 1 - "I'm just-"

#DwarfJobsMatter "How would you feel if Disney replaced YOU with CGI, hmm?" Disney Exec - "It was cheaper to use CGI than to hire real actors." "So your film is cheap then?" Disney Exec - "Uh..." "Maybe the next time you make a so-called 'live-action film' you will use actors and not CGI, hmm?"

Have you ever participated in a writing contest? Why or why not? I think I participated in a few back in the 1990s, but I don't remember the details. I had more luck winning art competitions. Since then I haven't participated in any because my impression is that they're a waste of time, but more

Fascinating similarities between fairy abduction stories and alien abduction stories... It would make a very interesting plot twist if a POV character was abducted by what they thought was fairies and it turned out that they were aliens. The fairies flying could just be weightlessness, etc.

"I got addicted to writing at an early age. Fantasy drew me naturally because I was already a fan of He-Man/She-Ra and other fantasy pop culture from the 1980s, but it was also freeing because you can write about anything in a fantasy setting." - Charles Moffat amazon.com/author/moffat

How did you come up with the world in your story? "I wanted to create a kingdom that mixed Slavic and Romanian folklore in 1999. I named it Korovia, which roughly translates to land of cows, hence why minotaurs are one of the major races of the region." - Charles Moffat amazon.com/author/moffat

There should be a German word for when you walk into a store and you wish it was a bookstore or a library, but it isn't. And you go back outside and look around for a bookstore, but you don't see a single store that sells books. #Buchnostalgie

Tip for writers researching the 1600s to #1800s: Watch the YouTube channel Townsends. Basically a cooking/lifestyle channel, but it is great resource regarding the American colonial period. youtube.com/@townsends If you are researching Europe I also recommend watching #RickSteves.

She points to my phone. I hand it over. “I’m the mermaid that saved you,” she types. “Kiss me! I’ll stay human, get my voice back, and won’t turn into seafoam!” I kiss the girl. “Thanks,” she smiles. “So easy! That dumb sea witch even saw me SIGN her contract!” #vss #sff

Word of the Day #Mithridatism The practice of consuming small doses of poison in order to build up a resistance to poison. Etymology - Mithridates VI of Pontus famously practiced this to prevent assassination, and thus the practice is named after him.
