Oh, Amazon. Ordered Black Friday phones, got chocolate. Why, oh, why isn't there a scam/fraud/theft button in your list of automated responses. And why do your human staff need 48 hours for the system to accept a problem? Don't you CSI? Gotta act fast to catch a crook.

The lights were all on, but nobody was home. Well, almost nobody. It gave the massive manor house an ultra-net-worth reputation even among the large estates surrounding it. As far as he was concerned, it stood as a twisted wonder, a pharos signalling to all that within lurked the face of all evils.

Halloween is ever closer, so why not read about creepy fey cats? Or a house that may or may not be haunted? Or a ballet that is VERY DEFINITELY cursed?
The story with kelpies eating people is a palate cleanser, I promise.

A promotional graphic featuring 3D mock-ups of Bloody Spade and Bleeding Heart's, surrounded by a list of tropes/themes that appear in the Cardplay Duology. Text reads: Abundant hurt/comfort, inky body horror, hot-tempered fire wielder, bird girl with plant magic, a celestial deity with a penchant for murder, a budding QPR, returned magic, slow-burn romantic subplot, asexual panic, monsters born from malice, softhearted scythe-wielding girl, snarky cat-eared thief. Bloody Spade's cover depicts a black silhouette of a short-haired cat-eared boy with a glowing purple spade in front of him. Bleeding Heart's depicts a white silhouette of a girl with deer antlers and long flowing hair with a glowing heart in front of her.
A graphic image featuring the back cover description for BLOODY SPADE, which reads:
The era of magic was thought to be a myth until the Reemergence unleashed powers both dark and light upon the mundane world. Now those touched by this strange magicβa specialized group of Empowered dubbed Jokers, known collectively as Cardplayβmust defend their world from the malevolent forces that threaten to consume it, all the while fighting for equality in a society clinging to normalcy.
But the Reemergence was only the beginning.
When another influx occurs on the seventh anniversary of that fateful event, a clash at ground zero lands Iori Ryone, a teenage boy in possession of a corrupt legendary magic, in the care of recent Joker graduate Ellen Amelia Jane. From him, she learns the Reemergence may not have been the unforeseeable natural disaster it first seemed.
Someone is behind these incidents, and with the criminal organization Blackjack as the prime suspect, it's up to Cardplay to find out what they're planning and stop them before it's too late.
A digital drawing of two characters from the waist up. On the left is Ellen, a slender fair-skinned girl with scarlet eyes, rosy cheeks, long white wavy hair, and a pair of small deer antlers, wearing a purple halter top. On the right is Iori, a cat-eared boy with crimson eyes, a light warm complexion, black-painted nails, and short tousled black hair wearing a sleeveless turtleneck shirt. His arm is reaching around Ellen, and she's touching his face, their cheeks pressed together. Both are smiling cheerfully.

Background image: The cover of MAEJ, a high fantasy novel. The cover art looks like it has been carved or sculpted. In the upper left, a whirlybug flies over a tentslum. In the upper right, a gryphon sits regally. The bottom half shows a frieze of five women. In the centre, two lines of text: Dale Stromberg, MAEJ.
Text: The Seldom, β8. A MΓ¦jish Arrival. If it is indeed true that life is a journey and not a destination, then how to explain the fact that Maejβ¦ hasβ¦ ARRIVED!?

Today @traumbooks.bsky.social published my debut high fantasy novel MAEJ.

Giant nerd about Egyptology, 1930s American pop culture, & the history of spiritualism. Will happily talk your ear off about PG Wodehouse, Cab Calloway, or Gef the Talking Mongoose.

Book cover art for "Of nights and rings and making love" by Rita A. Rubin
Two men stand in the moonlight with a vague shape of a castle window behind them. They both wear fantasy clothes and white poet shirts. One man has dark skin and he embraces the other man from behind. They lean into a kiss.
Book cover art for "Blood Sails" by Sierra. J. Meril
Two white men caught ina dynamic fight on a deck of a pirate ship.
They are both dressed in richly decorated pirate clothes. One is a mage and has a fire spell ready to launch that is in a shape of a fiery bird. The other hold a sabre. Despite them fighting some erotic tention is palpable between them.
Book cover art for "The prince and his groom" by J.E. Ridge
Two handsome men stand at the green lawn with a vague shape of a wizard's tower behind them. One man, with brown skin holds the other one by the neck from behind. And seems to have him tied by a red shibary cord. The other man with fair skin and red hair leans back into him.
Book cover art for "His Glorious Monster" by D. N. Bryn.
A portrait of a young man with long blond hair dressed in a feathered masquerade costume resembling of a white swan. He holds a dramatic pose on a dark background with nighclub like lighting.
