A fun novella set in a fantasy world following a group of people who travel there from Earth looking for treasure but there's trouble with the wildlife. #BookReview: #LoveDeathOrMermaid? by @dhwillison.bsky.social buff.ly/OL9pBq0 #bookblogger #books #novella #talesofarvia

Got a message that totally made my day My latest book, Arvia: Fangs of the Frost is about a sailing adventure to the Antarctic (on my world of Arvia). My friend AJ who’s a fan of the series is on a voyage to the Antarctic, and brought my book! She took photos of it in the Antarctic. I’m blown away

It’s cold outside! But it’s warm… umm… OK, it’s pretty damn cold aboard their ship too. No fancy electric space heaters, baby. Why not warm up by the fire with a good adventure? Arvia: Fangs of the Frost, a cold voyage with warm hearts and warm harpies is on KU.

There'S TWO new pages to read right now! It's a Savrotas miracle! Dragonesssayssit.com Merry Christmas all!

As a reminder, the audiobook for Harpyness is Only Skin Deep is available for free at many public libraries (via Hoopla). A human way out of his league on a world of giant mythic monsters. An accident-prone, dragon-sized harpy What could possibly go wrong?

Reading is an adventure!

One can never have enough harpies in one's day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Upyh...

By the strangest quirk of coincidence, Simon's hatchday and St. Patrick's day fall on the same day this year.

Sometimes I have to be a bit of a brat. Found a post on r/fantasyromance where people were posting images with the height difference of various fantasy couples. And they were ALL hulking MMCs and petite FMCs. I had to bring in a little "equality" 😅

It's so satisfying when someone has a very specific book request, and you're able to satisfy it with a rec from one of your indie author friends. Just recced Plant Lady by @ditzydruid.bsky.social Felt good!

I read and reviewed Ancient as the Stars: A Space Opera Adventure by Maya Darjani. What did I think? "This space opera was much more than I expected. It was creative and boldly went where no person has gone before (sorry; I couldn’t resist)" 🛸📚💙 #SpaceOpera #Bookblogger #BookReview #Booksky

I am participating in the Fantasy MegaSale this year. Check out over 600 books at just 0.99 or less! I have: The Queen Bee Harpyness is Only Skin Deep Hazelhearth Hires Heroes on sale! www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/co...

Got the first couple reviews for The Queen Bee. This line made me super happy! The novella is free on KU www.amazon.com/dp/B0DHDZ9T8B

Just got my first look at the paperback copies of The Queen Bee! Aren't they pretty? These beauties also come fully-equipped with pages, complete with actual words. Damn good words, too! Ebook on KU, paperback at B&N www.amazon.com/dp/B0DHDZ9T8B www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-queen-...

The Queen Bee releases today! Witty romance novella in the style of an old-time fairy tale, features a good-guy (but no pushover) hero, an older, experienced FMC, and a guaranteed HEA. (Come on, it IS a fairy tale after all)! www.amazon.com/dp/B0DHDZ9T8B www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-queen-...

Super excited to unveil my latest book! Looking for a story that blends creepy cursed forests, colorful characters, a charming romance, and surprise twists in the style of an old time fairy tale? Read more about The Queen Bee on my blog, or preorder now! dhwillisoncreates.com/fairy-tales-...

My next book will be unveiled this week! There may bee a clue hidden here somewhere. Things are looking dark for our hero. Possibly even grimm.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1,638,432! That totally makes me a trendsetter. Ish.

My next book will be completely different than anything I’ve ever published. There may bee a clue hidden here somewhere. Now where oh where could it bee? Stay tuned for the big unveiling next week!
