A bloodied and bruised woman with a baseball bat cornered by small green creatures.

This render was fun. I was saving it for Halloween because of its theme, but I actually made it for an April Fools contest in which we had to use those little adorable creatures... that might not be as cute as everyone thinks, and this is what I came up with.

Image of for covers in Pacts Arcane and Otherwise by Joanna Maciejewska and a quote: "Better start running." Veelk held his defensive stance, dodging just out of their reach only when he had to. "And pray to your demon to give you some magic." "I don't pray to any demon," she muttered out of habit. "The running part still stands."

Just a reminder that By the Pact not only has a new cover (along with the rest of the series), but it's still free. If you like stories of friendship that never wavers, powerful magic, cunning demons, and conniving politics, check it out!

Husband was better at math as I'm more of centimeters and meters gal.

If you think that solving math problems at school was a waste of time and not useful in real life, yesterday husband and I spent 10 minutes at the store, calculating how many 20ft. PVC pipes we need to buy to get 12 x 80" and 12 x 48" pipes for a project.

You can buy a one time license for MS Office, but it's equal to roughly 3 years of subscription. But StackSocial has a one-time license for much lower, and if you pick MS Office 2019 instead of MS 2021, not only you get it cheaper, but also without all the invasive AI stuff.

Author Joanna Maciejewska and her book, Memories of Sorcery and Sand.

It’s Friday, and it’s been a rough week, so here’s a picture of an old-ish author with her new-ish release. That’s it. That’s the marketing for today.

"Testing models" is a common theme in my 3D journey. I buy them, so I want to try them out and put them together in unexpected ways. A demon leading his army sounds like appropriately creepy render for a Halloween season, don't you think?

Demon Siege | Book Review by Paul G. Zareith An action-packed & well-rounded conclusion to the fantasy series - Pacts Arcane and Otherwise

paulgzareith.ink/book-reviews...

New book review: In Demon Siege - the fourth & last book of Pacts Arcane and Otherwise, by @authorjmac.bsky.social, we say a bittersweet goodbye to a highly competent trio who repeatedly rose up to challenges, demonic and otherwise, far beyond their wildest expectations. 🔗🧵

Hope you'll enjoy it! 💜

I'm reading By the Pact, and Kamira is such an interesting character. Check it out! 💙📚

The questionable quality of my brain's thoughts at 3am: "Sometimes you can't sleep because you're too awake."
I suppose it does explain, though, what am I doing up at instead of being in bed.

There’s nothing wrong with reading for pleasure AND wanting/hoping/trying to read more books. ;)

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 10009:
Beware of people who give writing advice for a living, rather than writing books for a living. And beware of people telling you about *the publishing business* who don't currently work in the publishing business.

But at least our struggle is more pleasant than shoveling snow :)

I feel like at my current rate (and the rate I add books to my TBR), I'll be done about the time the Sun starts burning out.

A roof covered in heavy snow with the text "to be read" over it and a tiny portion of it cleaned off snow with the text "books read this year."

How is your reading plan going this year? Because this picture sums up mine quite accurately... And it just keep snowing new books ;)

PSA: If you sign up for an author's newsletter to get the free book, don't be a jerk in return. Unsubscribe instead of marking the email _you signed up for_ as spam.
We're ok if you just want the book. But marking our email as spam is like saying thank you with a punch to the face.

Sounds like a good idea for people who like this kind of breakfast :)

If they were warm, I wouldn't have resisted, but they were yesterday's, so there was less incentive.
