A hand holds a copy of the book in a bookshop. On the cover a nun-like figure holds up a segment of a beehive honeycomb. The figure's face is replaced by three red-haired faces who look like they could be screaming, trapped inside the space the figure's face should have been.
A castle is under seige and running out of food when something seemingly miraculous happens...
An eerie, queer, medieval horror, with strange faith, cannibalism, madness and BEES, The Starving Saints by @caitlinstarling.com is out today!

I can't believe I actually had the word "sauce" in my draft. Well, "saucer", but close enough.

I'm not a #poet but I like #poetry. I've had the idea for this #poem stuck in my head for a long time, so I'm glad to have finally written it. β€οΈπ

The words βQuestion of the Dayβ are emblazoned in white serif font on a black background, surrounded by stylized white stars and butterflies.
β¨D&D / TTRPG Question of the Dayβ¨
What TTRPG was the game that first introduced you to the world of TTRPGs? Was it the game that made you stick with the hobby, or does that honor go to another game entirely? Do you have a TTRPG that you play more often than any other?
#dnd #ttrpg #ttrpgcommunity
Pathfinder was the first time anyone explained TTRPGs to me, but 5e was my first time playing. To this day, 5e feels like home. Though, I do love Call of Cthulhu, and I really want to try Monster of the Week. Though the real quest is finding a group where everyone's schedules align consistently.

#ComJunity 11. Rilian doesn't even have time to ask. Hogen is already digging the grave and explaining the best ways to keep it from being disturbed by scavangers.

#Writing with an outline held together by glue and hope is pretty cool because sometimes a detail comes up and you surprise yourself. It's like reading a book while it's being written and it has me like this

Another #WIPSnips from Bladesworn (Just hit 35k words woo!). The port town of Eventide isn't exactly what our intrepid hero was expecting. But what can you do?

June is my birthday month, which sounds like a great reason for you to treat yourself to some gory horror books and, I dunno, help me pay some bills. Grab some books, share this post, and enjoy: books2read.com/michaelpatrickhicks

A lot of "wait" to choose from when I hit ctrl+f. Will probably have to cut some of that during edits lol. Also, don't let the em dash fool you, I just know the alt code. Bladesworn is all hecho a mano, no AI involvement whatsoever.
