📚💙Reading The last Werewolf, by Glen Duncan. I'm at page 90. I'm a fan of jaded, sarcastic werevolves. Also, I like the writing. So I'm already hooked.

Whisky, my first #beta-reader, wishes you all happy #holidays (while judging me for being a lazy #writer).

Seems like something an author would name their daughter... #Author #WritingCommunity #ReadingCommunity #BookSky

#Soma by #Frictional Games. Keep thinking about it even after years. It’s the most haunting #game I’ve played, with a perfect ending. Although it’s classified as #horror, there are no supernatural ghosts, no cosmic terrors: only a relentless reflection on the nature of #consciousness and mortality.

Last hours for the #intothedark #kickstarter, an anthology of 30 dark fantasy short stories!

Let's start the season with something appropriate. #reading 💙📚

Recently, I received a (form) rejection letter that was surprisingly long, almost like a summary of a psychiatry manual on managing antisocial individuals. Being an editor must not be easy. #writing #authors #writingcommunity

Among the stories included in this anthology is my own "The Jormungand Foundation", a tale about a dragon, an archaeological expedition, and the things we can’t leave behind. #writing #writingcommunity

Another author might have turned this story into a 600-page novel. Susanna Clarke did it in under three hundred, and the result is perfect as it is. A powerful imagination and an elegant execution. Inspirational. I wish I saw her work in bookstores more often, but maybe it's better this way. 💙📚

A little bear figurine carved out of amber some 6,000 years ago 🐻 ❤️ A hole runs through the bear’s torso, suggesting it was threaded onto a cord and perhaps worn as a protective amulet. Discovered in a peat bog near Slupsk in Poland. 📷 National Museum in Szczecin. #Archaeology
