The Assimilated Cuban's Guide to Quantum Santeria by Carlos Hernandez; These Vengeful Wishes by Vanessa Montalban; Red Dust by Yoss; A Legend of the Future by Augustín de Rojas; The House on Biscayne Bay by Chanel Cleeton; and The Name Bearer by Natalia Hernandez

We're kicking off your weekend with some Cuban SFF recommendations! How many of these authors have you read?

Gideon Nav (aka "the Ninth") walks toward the viewer. She bears a rapier in her right hand and wears all black. Her face is painted like a skull, which would be creepy, but the look is offset by her black sunglasses and bright red hair. Around her, skeletons explode. She looks awesome

Best cover this go-around is an easy one: Gideon the Ninth! This cover I think does a good job of encompassing what to expect from this book (skeletons/necromancy, a cool cavalier, etc)

I've only ever read this book in the trilogy but I'm going to try and complete the other two by the year end

59. Little Thieves by Margaret Owen
60. The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman
61. A Tempest of Tea by Hafsah Faizal
62. Augustown by Kei Miller
63. Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
64. Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands by Kate Beaton

Both The Golden Compass and Gideon were rereads!

September reading wrap-up! Summer technically came to an end but it's still pretty dang hot in Texas

55. And the Sky Bled by S. Hati
56. The Lies of the Ajungo by Moses Ose Utomi
57. Black Salt Queen by Samantha Bansil
58. A Sunny Place for Shady People: Stories by Mariana Enríquez

IMO every publication and every publisher should have a clear statement about their generative AI policy. To dictate what is acceptable writer usage, yes, but also to declare their own usage (or lack thereof). Do they use it for slushreading, editing, illustration, correspondence?

2025 "Twilight"
#rhads #DigitalArt

New cover for Animorphs #1 "THE INVASION." A boy with brown hair in a denim jacket, red shirt and green pants back flips into an anole lizard, completing the transformation in four total steps.

New cover for Animorphs #2 "THE VISITOR." A girl with blonde hair wearing a black crop top, high waisted baggy green jeans and pink sneakers jumps across the page, turning into a tuxedo cat.

New cover for Animorphs #3 "THE ENCOUNTER." A boy with dirty blonde hair in a baggy purple shirt, blue-grey jeans and yellow All star sneakers leaps from the top of the cover downwards, transforming into a red-tailed hawk.

About a year ago I was approached by Scholastic to pitch sketch ideas for the reprinting of Animorphs. After cryingscreamingbarfing I said YES OF COURSE. I am so grateful to have been chosen and for the enthusiasm everyone has expressed so far. David Mattingly left me some very big shoes to fill!

Hwa Young facing the viewer. Her hair is cut short, military style, and she wears a blue uniform. Her eyes are blue and her hair has a white streak, indicating her relationship with her lancer. White flowers surround her, drifting into the distance. There's a red circle (planet?) behind Hwa Young's head

I was so happy to finish up the Between Earth & Sky series! Mirrored Heavens was a strong and exciting conclusion to that trilogy; can't decide if I like it or Black Sun more

Once again, Human Acts broke my heart

My favorite cover art was from Moonstorm, art by Priscilla Kim. Absolutely gorgeous 💖

Portfolio update : The Mirror of Pride
"She's been following me for several days; I only see her at dusk. She always stays about ten paces away. When I confront her, she claims to be my shadow. I then asked her if I was her light. She replied that I was confusing my pride with her patience."

A digital painting of a partially geometric wagtail holding a cornflower in cyberspace. It's perched on the branch of a twisty, delicate tree.

A little something from a while ago - a wagtail in Netrunner style for a lovely couple.
