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

My fellow Chaos Weavers 🥰 Today is the LAST DAY you can benefit from the #Winter #Bookfest promo Hop on over to get 25% or 50% reduction on digital #books on my website www.louiseblackwick.com/books 💙📚 That said, I hope 2026 started well & that you didn't get stuck in Sweden (like other people 👀)

Never ask a grimdark fantasy author to write romance. Not unless you wanna read about a character proposing with a ring from a live grenade... ...or read romantic descriptions such as: "...and then they kissed like two refrigerator door handles."😶 #WritingCommunity #WritinginJanuary 💙📚

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.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who took part in my writing journey this year! I feel richer for knowing you!🤗❤️ I wish you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS & a HAPPY NEW YEAR! May we all meet again in 2026, feeling well-rested & refreshed! www.patreon.com/posts/146610455 #merrychristmas #happyholidays

lol, I love all the mindf**ks the author puts us through. I sometimes think the person who made this meme was not very far off the mark. 😅

This is great time to discover @louiseblackwick.com Loved reading 5 Stars! A really over the top out-there action sci-fi novel. If you loved William Gibson and Neal Stephenson's work from the late 80's early 90's you'll love this one!

2025 has been an unbelievable year for my writing. I'd like to thank everyone who's given my dark & twisted fantasy & sci-fi stories a chance with a #Winter #Bookfest! 🟦25% off on all my eBooks & 🟩50% off on all eBook bundles, until 11 Jan. 2026 on www.louiseblackwick.com/books Happy Holidays! 💙📚

My first attempt at building a Darkthing* - an eldritch voidspawn from the #VivianAmberville universe.💙📚 Just a skeleton, for now. His disturbing flesh will soon follow!😄 *Darkthings dwell in the Abyss, in the backrooms of reality, beyond the Dark Door (the door between Life & Death in the series)

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

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

Heh! Yeah, I reckon I could really be a normal person living a regular ol' life in Sweden.🤭

I just made an Instagram account to post my hobbies (& other stuff absolutely NO ONE has asked for). Here's me trying to build a miniature BOOK NOOK (complete with miniature books, maps, paintings & a functioning light switch) A #booknook is a type of cozy mini-deco that goes on your bookshelf. 💙📚

9 years ago today "The Weaver of Odds" - 1st book in the #VivianAmberville dark fantasy franchise - was released in the Netherlands & forever changed all our lives💙📚 None of this would've happened without you. We'd like to thank you all for walking alongside us.🥹 Happy Birthday, Vivian Amberville!

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.

Holy s**t, I just checked my copy and mine totally has it! 😱 The ink is not faded at all. It looks super crisp and readable still. I had to blur my code for reasons. 😆 Okay, so, I guess I get a free book? Is it ebook or physical? 😀

I would like to thank everyone who took the time to attend our Cultureel Tankstation #meetup in Enschede. I was so glad to see so many new faces! ❤️🥰 A lovely evening all around! I hope to see you again next month (& meet EVEN MORE interesting creatives) 👍🏻

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!😅

Some of you lovely peeps have asked me what it feel like to live in the Netherlands. So I made this: *slight dramatization* obviously 😚 #adayinthelifeofadutchie #adayinthelife #dutchculture #louiseblackwick #netherlands

Question for anyone who's previously attended #Gamescom: I'm planning to attend the next Gamescom (26-30 August 2026 in Köln, Germany) as a VISITOR, yet I've no clue which days to pick.😕 It's a 2.5h drive from where I live, so it's doable, but I can't be there on all the days. Which days are best?

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

1️⃣I'm 13-ish chapters in (out of a total of 24) - 1st draft still. 2️⃣Not this year. Not enough sales there for my publisher to justify the expense. 3️⃣Not yet! 4️⃣Hopefully it'll be out in a month or two. 5️⃣HELL YEAH! It's a 1st time for me, so aymma need all the advice I can get! (i.e. which days to pick)

Well, it was "make-up Thursday" back at the office, so I figured it was a rare chance to take a few selfies.👀 What you see behind me - aside from a messy desk - is the script for episodes 7 & 8 of my upcoming Youtube show. My motivation: to get over my camera shyness (or just shyness in general)😳😶‍🌫️

Hey, I make #vivianamberville #meme too! 🤓 I wanted to do an iridium quality one but couldn't find the sprite! 😄 Jokes aside, I'm really proud of you, Lu. After reading VA-TBoC, I understand all the hype. I really do. Book 1 was a planet, but Book 2 was a universe. I honestly can't wait for Book3.

Vivian Amberville's story gets so much better in the sequel, in my opinion. "The Weaver of Odds" was just the appetizer while "The Book of Chaos" is the main course 😊 Time loops, puzzlebox mysteries, original magic systems, cosmic horror, cool characters & more twists & turns than you can count! 💙📚

Brilliant series! Looking forward to book 2!

No, it's really me.😶‍🌫️ I only just created my Instagram account. I mean, where else am I going to keep the random photos of my living room, writing desk, budgies, journals notes, gaming habits, weird hobbies & other stuff ABSOLUTELY NO ONE has asked for?💀
