No worries, and I'm glad you're taking charge! It's so upsetting with the feed is just full of rubbish stuff. My threads feed has started showing me pictures of frogs this month and I'm not complaining 😂

Portrait of a man wearing a black shirt with embroidery detail on the collar and silver dotted circles by the shoulder. He has amber and green eyes and above the ears length dark brown curls with reddish tips.

Second but no less menacing or dangerous, is Skylar. And yes, he's Skye's (the LI) dad. Born on the streets of Magrath, he's murdered his way into the tarilla elite and is Thalia's only true oponent in the quest for supreme leadership over the city.

Villain time!

First up is Thalia. She's a bit of a megalomaniac. Everything she ever does and ever has done is driven by her desire for ultimate power and control. To her, people are objects.

Next skeet for the second villain ⏬

Threads post screenshot, @majaspang Just finished this lovely story by @nataliekelda 🩵 If you need to read something cozy and romantic, but also melancholic, go grab this book. It's about a chronically ill water nymph that falls in love with a human woman and must face a tough decision about her own life. Especially recommend if you struggle with a chronic illness and would like to see it reflected in a fantasy(ish) setting.

Had another wonderful review for Reflections of Lilje Damselfly 💙

Art for the past 3 days have been by Miriam Yvette!

Callum and Martha! My favourite ace couple and Balfour's Magrathian BFF's. They don't share much about their murderous first few months together but they long since decided they prefer a quiet life on the outskirts of society.

Be super ruthless clicking "not interested" and mute a bunch of words. Don't interact in any other way with those posts. I never see anything I don't want on Threads, the algorithm is quite good once you get it trained!
And will tag you in horror rec posts then!

Oof i feel that. A lot of people have been showing their true faces lately and when it's someone you thought you knew and could trust... The division we're seeing at the moment is terrifying.

I think the best thing we can do is keeping ourselves safe and sane, mostly by escaping into other worlds as much as possible(it's what I do to cope anyway, I can't deal with how this world is atm)

There are a lot of people asking for horror recs on threads, do you want me to tag you on some of those? You'll only get a sale every 20+ comments you leave but it's *something* I suppose.

Skye is both the warmest, kindest person you can ever meet and one of the absolute deadliest. She's working on some big revolutionary plans when she runs into Balfour and she knows their budding romance can jeopardise it all.

Elven by D.C. Hart (a dark scenic background with a green hued mirror in the foreground).

The itchio launch bundle has ended, but I’ve officially set up a Kofi goal to get Elven published in paperback! If we meet this goal (which covers formatting and print costs) by October 31st, then I’ll be able to offer Elven in paperback and list my first ever book boxes! 💙📚

I'm.sorry Erika, I wish I knew how to make it go away but truth is, I feel it creeping up as well 🫂

thank.thegods.for.smut Book Recommendation I'm going to need you guys to stop what you're doing and pick up Reflections of Lilje Damselfly by @nataliekelda immediately. I picked this up on a whim last night as I was cleaning my little library room. It was calling to me at the top of one of my stacks, because @foxandwit made this lovely edition in one of their last book boxes. I didn't know anything about this book going in, and I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY. This book is heartbreakingly beautiful. It packs the biggest punch in only 200 pages. This book is about what it means to lose yourself in chronic illness and how to find yourself on the other side. How to stand up for yourself and what you want. How to find and accept love, even when it's forbidden. And how to take the path less traveled, because it might lead to the most beautiful ending. My gods this was stunning. I didn't have crying before 8am on my bingo card, but I'm so glad I picked this up. And I kept thinking about the similarities and illness rep between this story and When the Tides Held the Moon, which is another of my absolute favorites of the year. This is a 5 star read, easy. And it's on Kindle Unlimited. Do yourself a favor and pick up this sapphic love story between a water nymph & a human as soon as possible. My goodness. I'm (almost) too stunned to speak.

I had an amazing review over on Instagram yesterday 🥰

If you haven't yet, you really ought to check out Reflections of Lilje Damselfly. Grab a paperback with merch on my site or read it on KU today!

Hooray! September was *rough* to say the least. I'm hoping it picks back up this month.

Thank you 🥰

Balfour is the most traumatised golden retriever sad boi. By the end of his trilogy he *is* finally figuring out who he wants to be but he's in dire need of life-long therapy after everything I put him through.

Preorder book 3 now!

Thank you so much! And it's on purpose, I wanted it to feel like Mucha's seasons. This one is spring and I'm writing the winter book atm(and planning the cover in my head)

Normally September is pretty lovely but it was like a switch between summer and autumn was hit on September 1st. We had a dry summer but after 2 record-wet years in 23-24 it's barely managed to dry everything and now we're back to the sort of dampness that makes the entire house grow mould 🥲

I'm very excited for this final one to be out 🥰

Reflections of Lilje Damselfly hardcover book on a wooden surface. The cover features two women at a tilted angle. They are looking at one another, the woman on the bottom left is under water and is reaching towards the woman above water. A pink water lily and newt is to the right of her hand.

This one also arrived yesterday! I need to wait for a dry day but then I'll have sprayed edge hardbacks on my shop 🤩

Paperbacks are already available. Both will come with merch even if you select drop shipping(drop shipping books don't have sprayed edges)

I adore this entire trilogy but this book is special because it goes to my favourite galaxy(Jungle Galaxy where blue fangs are from) 🥰

I've tried pet-safe slug pellets but it didn't do anything. The copper wire didn't work at all, next day I found slugs using it as scaffolding to get up higher 😂
In high summer, I go out most evenings and remove them and throw them away in a thicket away across a gravel parking lot.

The Emperor's Twin, by @benegotherit.bsky.social (pub by Talos Press) is a quite different proposal, a great dark space opera novel that uses its weirdness as a way to shine, delivering a worthy experience.

Meanwhile we've had max 12 since September 1st. Could we swap a bit, just so we have some warmer days before everything rots from the dampness 🙈

Technically, all my MC's are queer(it's not always clear though if there's zero romance in the story)
My June release is a cosy historical fantasy with a more prominent sapphic romance though!
