I am very nervous! But I hope you enjoy the kindle version! It may look awkward, and weird, but I am doing my best to improve as I go! Will be finishing Volume 2 now! 🙏🏻 It is only in English for now. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B... #manga #amazonkindlepublishing #indiemangaka

🙏🏻Hope for the best!

Catching up with my "more stuff I gotta post" is my amazing comm from @aiphelix.bsky.social of August ☺️ The breezy sunset background is SO perfect for the mood 🥰

Hey everyone! I created a book hobbyist #discordserver. It's still pretty new, but it's active everyday. discord.gg/SD8XrPwpZ We have channels about: -books #booksky -manga #animeandmanga -webcomics -book clubs -trash books that are so bad, they're good -dumpster books no one should read (1/2)

An actual single line this time for #FaveLineFriday lol "And still she remained." From a side project (Not the same as last week's) #writesky #writingsky #writingcommunity #writingprompts #writingprompt

This is from a first draft of one of my side projects. (Apologies for any and all rough edges.) Glouson is a living staff, who's head looks like an old sage. Julie is a free study at the magical academy and did not realize certain spells were required to pass on exams.

On that final stretch! #Booksky #Writesky #Writingcommunity #Readsky

My client Lucas loved Capcom's Devil May Cry series so much he created a whole world inspired by it. As Beatrice and Mara face those who seek to watch the world burn, they must decide what kind of warriors they want to become. First book in the series coming very soon! #devilmaycry #booksky

Exciting news! 📚📣💙⏰️🐉🪐 I was able to team up with like-minded folks and create a book box with my debut fantasy novel, Eltaris, in it! If you like strange fantasy stories, supporting small businesses, and art made by a real person, this is for you. mythicmanuscripts.myshopify.com/products/elt...

Happy Indie Bookstore Day! 📚 In the spirit of the day, I'm going to post the link to my debut novel on Bookshop.org (for those, like me, who don't have small bookstores close by). bookshop.org/p/books/odys... Buy a book today, and support small bookstores and small authors alike! #Booksky

I told my author client Matt I was really excited to publish this first book in his series, and I described it as "like a high fantasy soap opera that takes place in a giant magical tree." Evelynya's Elixir Emporium will be available for order soon, and it's pretty zesty!

The most recent meme in your photo roll describes your mental state I havent been getting good sleep of late so, I guess this is fairly accurate? 😂

If you see this, post a favorite Pokemon!

Nearing the finish line for publication for #HeirsofAlighieri book 1! Going through the last edits of the manuscript with editor this week! Cover is also being completed soon. Feels almost weird, being this far in the process…definitely good! Just sorta surreal #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Booksky

In one of my side projects, Julie has come to be have a crush that I did not originally intend to be in the story. Velvet the witch has already shipped them. #FaveLineFriday #writingcommunity #writingprompt #writesky #writingsky

Good morning. I wanted to share my debut novel with the #Booksky crowd. Odyssey of the Twins is a YA coming-of-age fantasy tale about brothers who venture out into the world after their parents are killed. Check it out! www.barnesandnoble.com/w/odyssey-of... sites.google.com/view/troypre...

First off, thanks for hosting #Marchistics Khonri! I loved the sheer variety of products that were discussed by the various participants. And amused at two variations on bees and the corpse centered products 😆 I definitely appreciated the feedback I got early on concerning the energy conversion-

Finished reading @troyprestondillon.bsky.social 's debut novel, Odyssey of the Twins! A very solid debut and I do recommend! www.goodreads.com/review/show/... my goodreads review if anyone wishes to read it #booksky #readsky #fantasybooksky

I kinda dipped halfway through, (sorry bout that) but I might as well “dramatically” come back in at the end here of #Marchistics Starting with the @khonri.com , the asalvyer’s honey’s healing properties would be very sought out by Hunters. (Plenty of whackos willing to go and get it too).

Jerin and Loran are twin brothers forced to flee the city of their birth after the murder of their parents, a step ahead of the killers themselves. Out in the world, they make friends and allies. But darkness is gathering. www.barnesandnoble.com/w/odyssey-of... sites.google.com/view/troypre...

Im afraid mine will likely be the only metal song(s) 😂 This is one of Edwin’s (he doesn’t show up in the story for a while but when he does…) youtu.be/v9RnWOuNbRw?...

Em… yes and no. Economics wise, the energy conversion crystals aren’t “lifeblood”. But, Hunters that prefer firearms over (or in addition to) melee weapons would have to pull some extra shenanigans to be as safe and efficient as the ecc allows. That said, they are very important to the Guild- 🧵

Over the course of the series of #HeirsofAlighieri there might be some changes/improvements on the energy conversion crystals mentioned so far. (That readers will see). The #Marchistics of R&D is largely gunsmiths and inventors trying new things. With Clara Chester being the most innovative of 🧵

Quality control #Marchistics The energy conversion crystals grow and form into different qualities at the source. To magnify this further, the skill of the one shaping and tuning affects the quality and use of the crystal. So, first Vivian and then whoever works with them afterwards. Although 🧵

“Tikaani… Amarok… Tala… Maikoh…” This image had been in my head for a while, and I'm so glad I found the perfect artist who works with formline style 😌 Absolutely stunning!!

#Marchistics While technically energy conversion crystals could be purchased by regular citizens, it is not common. Very few buy them directly, buying the finished product instead. Especially “raw” like Cass’ was. Some of the various other demon materials are possible to buy before the “final-

With reference and without reference. Sorry I thought I was done with Slayer lol but I guess not. 😅 Anyway, gotta go to work. #doom #fanart #sketch

#Marchistics For the energy conversion crystals, there are all the shards from the shaping (and pieces from failed tuning). But I haven’t thought far enough for what might be done with these. (Other than art?) It is plausible a gifted scientist/mage (like Clara Chester) would be able to repurpose-

#Marchistics So the existence of energy conversion crystals is not in the least secret. Least in the Guild and Angel Lands(specifically the Order of Two Worlds). Most Hunter guns have a standardized energy-apparatus, so nothing secret there. Clara Chester, however, (mother of Roy) figured out 1/4

Joining late today 😅 The #Marchistics of the energy conversion crystals has two stages, shaping and tuning. Shaping is the careful carving of the natural facets (many not visible at a glance). Typically only two facets are left (one for input, one for out). But exceptions are always a thing. 1/4

#Marchistics On the potential large scale, there was a brief quarreling after Vivian transformed. Alighieri managed to get all factions involved to sign a pact. Thankfully, everyone listens when one of the Twelve Heroes speaks. But nothing disastrous for the energy conversion crystals.

Geniune research question: Millenials of the UK - Scotland and Northern Ireland in particular - what music and movies were everywhere when you were a teenager? What songs and shows and commercials instantly transport you back? Commercial example: the Thistle Windows Aberdeen jingle

#Marchistics The energy conversion crystals will continue to grow as long as Sage Vivian is intact (i.e. not shattered). Thankfully, the various factions of the Guild Lands all agree that shouldn’t happen. So someone sabotaging her village/crystals is very slim. Not to mention would unite all 1/3

Kinda answered this #Marchistics yesterday in regards to the organic bits. The gathering of natural resources that are only available in the human world is usually done by a company, with Hunter escorts. Sometimes one of the Big Three guilds acquire materials directly. Since the demon world is 1/5

#fanart of Lara Croft (again) And Slayer (again) lol. Anyways see you later.

#Marchistics Raw Materials For the demon body bits, these are mostly harvested after a hunt, with specialized “clean up crews” doing most of the collecting. What can be extracted in the field is done, with the rest being loaded up for transport. What special bits that can be harvested without 1/

#Marchistics For the energy conversion crystals I mentioned yesterday, I have gone through several potential ideas. For a while, they were a “Sage Material”. (Something that was formed in the immediate area of someone essentially becoming a minor deity). But that would make it a finite resource.1/5

How I arrived on Bluesky

For this #Marchistics post, I should probably focus on something a little more specific. (What whiplash from my previous post!). Probably should’ve been more specific to start with lol Hunters in #HeirsofAlighieri do not use normal firearms. Instead they use ones that fire their own energy 1/4

Finally got my linktree updated and upgraded! I even cleaned up the Eltaris website and added a bunch of indie bookstores that stock my strange little fantasy standalone 🤓🐉✨️ whispered: theremayalsobe20-30%discountsposted...but you didn't hear that from me! #writingcommunity #booksky #indieauthor

#Marchistics Basics Oh boy, so, salvaged demon materials from hunts and gathered resources are turned into a wide variety of products. For both hunter guild and civilian markets: computer components, fabrics, medicine. Guild specific: armor, weapons, fortress materials, enchantment- 1/4

Had a wonderful meeting with my editor. Things are going great, reaching the finish line! Hilarious take away: apparently I capitalized “Cafeteria” pretty much every time I wrote it in this one chapter. 😂I can’t believe I did that. Also nouns in German are capitalized? My distant German ancestors-

#Marchistics Heyo, L. Bay Riley here. I will hopefully be answering some worldbuilding questions for my work #HeirsofAligihieri. Idk how much of this will be “front and center” in the books, but still definitely good to have fleshed out!
