Thanks for including TCATHOE!! Fenrir is honored 😤

It's Knight Time; fealty, love, and a whole lot of swords. Some of these aren't your typical knights, but they protect their charges or kingdom with their lives regardless, and honor their oaths. (1/2)

Y'all, I can't stop smiling 💜💜💜 TCATHOE fanart by @phalar-aluve.bsky.social 👉👈🥺💜

My #artvsartist2025 ~!🔮✍🏼💜✨ I actually worked on a good amount of art this year from my own person work, character designs, and commission work! 💗 I also explored different things, and even though 2025 was rough, I learned a lot through hard work and connecting with new artists and nerdy friends! 📖

A little teaser of what's to come in the sequel to The Crack at the Heart of Everything... The City that Shattered the World is coming in 2026 😈 The 📷 place is my home but I'll try to drop the bigger announcements here too! #tcathoe

For Dallas-Fort Worth people, I'm doing an event at the J. Erik Jonsson Central Library: dallaslibrary.librarymarket.com/event/author... They're asking attendees to register in advance by Sunday March 31 at 4:00 pm for the April 1 evening (6:00pm) event. #booksky

I know Goodreads is kinda meh and Amazon is the evil overlord, but please post your ratings and reviews there, even if you also post to StoryGraph, Fable, blogs, YouTube, etc. They’re not the best, but they’re still the places with the most visibility for indie authors.

He's the wet cat, 🌈-coded, dark sorcerer henchman working for the big bad from the book series you loved who was killed off, but I've given him a fix-it fanfic with the softest romance ever 😬 His name is Orpheus & the book is The Crack at the Heart of Everything+oh yeah he's 🌈 Art Bella Bergolts 💜

Mostly I write: sometimes I draw 👀 Happy release day to THROUGH LEGEND THEY FALL 2 by @rachelpendley.bsky.social One of my favorite books ever, so enjoy this fanart of best girl Canius 😍 #TLTF #throughlegendtheyfall #canius #bookart #bookartist

If you're not watching Common Side Effects can we really remain friends? (Please go watch CSE. The Scavenger's Reign team can do no wrong).

Okay, but what about the grumpy evil sorcerer falling for the sunshine knight hero when his warlord Empresses kicks him out on his bum because a death curse is after him? I don't know, maybe read The Crack at the Heart of Everything 🔮⚔️

Hay! I am ready to bring you a good mood! Raffle on the portrait ~ For participation: Follow, like, repost. You can also leave your character in the comments! I will choose few characters from the comments (for my choice and inspiration!) And I will draw small art on the iPad:3 #raffle

Ok #booksky, let’s talk. 👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books. 👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

So here's what's cool about my job: Yesterday morning I said, "We really ought to have TWIN PEAKS available." So then a bunch of people scrambled, worked really hard, and now you can watch every episode of David Lynch & Mark Frost's original series for free on Pluto TV: pluto.tv/us/on-demand...

Can't believe my baby turned TWO MONTHS this week. If you are a fan of villain redemption arcs, hurt/comfort fix it fics, and sad boy sorcerers in the vein of Viktor (Arcane) Check out The Crack at the Heart of Everything 🔮⚔️
