April 10. What does your MC miss?

My MC misses her parents, for sure. It's a big castle that can be very quiet when her twin isn't feeling very social. ~ Hayley-Jenifer, author of Kingdom of the Moon

Bon, ben j'ai repris les deux premiers tomes de avec les ajustements qui me paraissaient nécessaire suite à des retours. À voir à la relecture si c'est fluide.

Il reste le tome 3 👀
Le chantier que c'est, çui-ci. 👀
Ah c'est pas des petits ajustements, là

What's a good (urban) fantasy novel set in a Victorian/Belle epoque/Roaring 20s milieu?

Looking for a gift for my wife and feel somewhat uninspired.

@canneddirt so well in fact that she already has that one.

@kyonshi
I can't remember when it's set, but Sorcerer to the Crown, by Zen Cho was fun too.

If she hasn't read any Gail Carriger, her books are a hoot!

I was looking for a different one that I can't find. I went back about 4 years in my reading list. I should probably be working...

It's , again!

I'm Paul, and I mainly do fantasy character art and illustration, mixing the beautiful with the monstrous.

I have a gallery of my recent art here: https://baffledwizard.blogspot.com/p/gallery.html, with more in the archives of the site (including some much rougher work...)

I mostly draw for myself, but I'm open to freelancing opportunities. (Email: ravanon[at]outlook[dot]com)

A digital drawing of two horned individuals (either tieflings or some other demon-touched being) sharing an intimate embrace. To the right and in front: a woman with yellow irises and long purple hair, dressed in a brown leather bodice over a shoulder-less black dress. An ornate necklace hangs from her neck, and her tail peaks out near the bottom of the drawing. To the left and slightly behind his partner: a man with reddish skin and short brown hair, dressed in some kind of modest uniform, possibly that of a priest or official. The woman has turned back to kiss the man, both sets of hands clasped together over her midriff. The background is a splash of red directly behind the two lovers.
A digital drawing of a female angel and demon; the angel is whispering into the demon's ear. The demon has long red hair, yellow eyes and ram-like horns and is wearing a sleeveless black dress. She's looking directly at the viewer with little expression on her face. The angel has long blonde hair with a side-braid tied back behind her ear, cyan eyes, and is wearing a black corset and pale pink-and-green skirts. She's presented side-on to the viewer, though she's looking neither at the demon nor the viewer, instead glancing somewhere off-panel. Both characters have wings: the demon's leathery, the angel's feathery.
A digital drawing of a young woman with unfurled blue-grey feathery wings, standing with her arms back behind her head. She has curled horns, purple hair tied back behind her head, pointed ears and a greyish tail like a devil or reptile. She's looking coyly down and away from the viewer. She's wearing a burgundy bustier, dark leather corset, maroon shorts and a peach outer skirt, bunched around her hips and open at the front. She's wearing striped purple tights, a blue collar, a golden torc around her left arm, and a golden bracelet around her right waist. She's standing in the midst of some swirling morass of greenish tendrils opening up around her.

On a passé un bon moment avec la première moitié de la série Ronya fille de brigand ! De la avec une intrigue locale, des enjeux réduits, des paysages naturels nordiques que j'adore, et des acteurs fort sympathiques. Ça change un peu.

Ptites congés là, au cours desquelles je suis censé aider au potager.
Mais je vais essayer de récupérer un peu pour traiter les commentaires de beta-lecteurs, au moins placer dans le corps du texte les to do, parce qu'il y en a beaucoup

Diving into Inca mythology for a WIP.
Fascinating stuff turns up, all perfect for the genre.

(Some of the names seem hard to pronounce. Good thing I only write them down. 😂 )

April 1. Intro Post!

Hello! My name is Hayley-Jenifer Brennan and my WIP is called ‘Kingdom of the Moon: the Stroke of Midnight’! I'll be taking over the Asteria Press account this month to talk about my book.

@bookstodon

MoonlightFilmz,

@AsteriaPress @bookstodon hello Hayley I’m a writer too, & film maker. How are you? (I’m going offline in a minute, speak soon) 🌙

374 Antagonist POV: How do you feel about animals?

Armand junior:

They lack the intellect to serve their betters unless forced. Showing them kindness is nothing but a weakness parading around as a virtue. Each of them screams out for subjugation. The genuine cruelty is leaving these wretched souls stumbling around in the dark with no light to follow. And yes, this includes humanity. Aimless beast with half a brain cell and the arrogance to think themselves equal to me.

Work in progress of a Boromir piece I’m doing. Hoping to finish it by Friday.

Viel Spaß beim Lesen,!

One of the things we did "back in the day" (say early 2000's) was have author groups where maybe 5-10 authors were in a group, we had a website, a newsletter, I guess now there'd be social media presence, and we each agreed to promote the group in each others' newsletters .... I suppose that's out of fashion, but just thinking I'd love to get more 👀 on my books.

@Nichelle @bookstodon I was on bookfunnel a few years ago. Money is an issue at the moment so I can't afford the $15/mo. I lost all my book income, etc. by switching pen names and dealing with "the Burnout"(TM).

@Nichelle@wandering.shop avatar

@KitMuse @bookstodon I think there is a low cost tier that is something like $20/year.

I wanna point out that Alternative Armies has a lot of old from the 80s in their catalogue, and a lot of them look fucking fantastic.

@kyonshi I've been buying from Gavin for almost 15 years now and he's a joy to work with. The sculpts are great and the customer service is just as fantastic. Highly recommend!

Jeśli lubiliście "Trylogię Husycką", to tutaj też się odnajdziecie, bo choć tereny inne (Niemcy zamiast Śląska), to klimat i czasy podobne (reformacja, inkwizycja), a także trochę magii i humoru (aczkolwiek tego ostatniego mniej niż u Sapkowskiego). Zaskakująco kameralna książka jak na możliwości, które autorowi dał rys historyczny, ale może też dlatego czyta się to dobrze, choć lepiej pod koniec niż na początku. Warto sprawdzić.
