The sun in upstate NY is orange-red from the forest fire smog drifting south from Canada, and I have a giant headache from the air pollution. Tell me again why you think global warming isn't real?

The obvious antagonist is a rival lord trying to kill Kahyla and her siblings for their land. The real antagonist is revealed later: someone they trust who finds them more useful dead.

Indie Book Spotlight@bookspotlight.bsky.social · 4w ago

I hold the radical notion that writers and artists are people worthy of respect and support. Such a simple premise, but it ensures that if you believe in stealing from creatives, I think you are truly lowlife scum. This includes gen AI users and book piracy advocates.

Fellow authors: without any context, what's the first line of your current WIP? "Fashima's Escape was a flower-shaped alibi, floating in a deep blue sea of tough spots and bad choices."

Fellow authors: without any context, what's the first line of your current wip? "The plagues had changed everything. Nia could barely remember the before times, just the awfulness when the plague had rolled through their town, and the stinking choking stench of death it left behind."

Aud Connelly: finalizing #Dogwood1 😎@audconnelly.bsky.social · last mo.

I write d/t hormonal upheaval. Started in middle school (puberty) and picked it up again after my first pregnancy. I struggle with constant chatter in my head driving me insane (at 14 I ran away from home for a day); writing does not stop the chatter, but gives it focus/direction. #SummerOfStories

The entire internet is not immediately adoring Luigiix's art of my character, and so I must shove it in your faces. Look at it! LOOK AT IT! MARVEL AT ITS MAGNIFICENCE!

Luigiix (alt text has his links) did an amazing snap-shot moment for me from NICEF! Taegen's furious partial transformation when she knows Selene is in mortal danger, and the fool who caused that is who she's glaring toward. Get the book: pjccahill.carrd.co #characterart #writingcommunity

“They have branded me a demon from the moment I set foot on these lands. Let them say what they will. They do not care what or who we truly are. They never did.” Here's Count Alhamad, famous under the title of Rain, from #ChroniclesOfTheRealms 🌧️🌩️

Digital three-quarter artwork of Alhamad, from Chronicles of the Realms, by me. He has purple-ish skin of his race, the yin'anna, with half of his black hair tied into a bun and the other half left loose, part of it over his shoulder. He has blue eyes and wears a darker orange shirt-like garment below a purple robe.
