Pretty pebble - the iron rich circular spots that run through this pebble may have been the spaces that small burrows or roots made back when this was a soft mud over 300 million years ago.

A Cedar Waxwing gathers nesting materials. This photo is fairly recent, so this nest could be for a second brood.

Ink and watercolor drawing of a crustacean that looks like a cross between a shrimp and an alien dinosaur, with a segmented body, orange spikes on its back, lots of legs, and appendages coming from its head.

A bulbous vessel, with a smaller base and curving in slightly to rim at top. It is cased in silver, with oval shapes cut out all round, larger at the wider section than at the more narrow bottom and top. Deep blue glass has been blown into the casing so that cushions of blue glass protrude out through the ovals.

Knobbed #Roman beaker of blue glass blown into silver case, possibly from Brindisi, 1st C.
May represent special, apparently fashionable, technique described by elder Pliny where openwork designs were cut out of silver casings for glass, 50-100AD.

The group @smallpitch.org website as they usually have a list of small presses.

For self-publishing resources, @marywyrd.bsky.social recently published a fantastic guide to self-publishing with great resources!

Hope this helps!

Hi Sofferclese! I'm not currently repped by an agent (I've got my queries out and hoping for good news soon! As for indie publishing, do you mean self-publishing or indie publishing? Indie publishing usually involves independent presses. If you're looking for independent presses, check out 1/2

Vikings x Derry Girls = Viking, Nun, Murder, Chicken.

A chance encounter between a Viking and a fake nun leads to murder, mystery, and romance. And chickens. The chickens are important.
