“A strong offering from Violet Lichen that helps showcase what the press and its mission is all about. ECO24 is, in essence, a collection that is more than the sum of its parts.”

Thank you so much for this awesome & thoughtful review✨ @annmichelleharris.bsky.social

I have been tantalized by K.V. Johansen's mentions of a sword & sorcery novel. Here it is.

An interview with me about the forthcoming book BREATH AND BONE (out in May from Candlemark and Gleam!) on NOAF! I talk about new characters, a new world, Rosemary Sutcliff & Arthur Ransome, but mostly Hedge and Pony, whom I think you're going to love. #CoverReveal Cover art by Laura Galli.

BREATH AND BONE is a return to sword and sorcery for me, moving away from the world-shaking events of epic fantasy to the adventures of a smaller cast. The book is from @candlemarkandgleam.bsky.social & the cover, which you get your first look at in the interview, is by @lauragalliart.bsky.social
