One is the loneliest number... That's why when you join my newsletter, you get two books! https://authorjm.com/newsletter
It's Wednesday (again?) and time for another piece of 3D art. This picture came to be because I actually had an idea for it rather than testing new models, but of course, what I got inspired me to create. Even cyberpunk future has angels... No AI.
Learned to drive only 11 years ago, when I came over to the US. It was manual transmission Toyota Tacoma 2000. This old lady has been through much (including hauling our belongings across half the States), but she's still spry and has a new heart (engine). I actually never drove an automatic.😅

25 hours (and 15 minutes ;) ) left to get a bundle of all my books via Itch. Own the file and binge read on two series, a standalone, and a short story collection. itch.io/s/212174/hal...
Joanna Maciejewska — SFF Author@authorjmac.bsky.social · 5d agoEnding soon! Don't miss out on a chance to get any of my books at 30% off or a bundle for $23.99.

It might not be a wedding (seeing as there's no romance in the story), but adventures aren't dull affairs either: you can expect camaraderie, tea, snacks, and a murder or several to spice things up. Preorders for Sanguine Scenario are up: confirm your participation now!
Demelza, a world-weary witch, and Uliana, an even more exhausted vampyre, work together to send wayward demons, ghosts and otherworldly creatures back to where they came from. But some jobs are more difficult than others. 🔖 story: mybook.to/RXIIkD 💌 itch.io: rebecca-crunden.itch.io/on-demon-wra...
If you missed any of my spooky renders last month or you simply want to prolong Halloween season, you can view all of them on my website (and browse old compilation posts as well). No AI. https://authorjm.com/archives/33427

We have very little space in our freezer left, so a decision had to be made. We could have gotten a bag of frozen broccoli. But we didn't. Instead, we got two tubs of ice cream. No moral to this story. Just ice cream.
So is it the best day in the year or not? Either way, Happy Halloween! Are you celebrating? Trick or treating? Dressing up or not? Or maybe you'll be home alone, summoning ghosts from the beyond? ;)
Today brain levels: - boil water for tea - get distracted by chores - check if the tea's ready - realize that you never poured the water - water's already cold, so boil it again - get distracted again - realize that you never poured the water - Water's now... No! POURING IT NOW!
It's rare that I discount all of my books, but what better time than Halloween? Get any of my books at 30% off or grab a bundle for $23.99. And don't forget to get By the Pact too, which is free. Buying on Itch means you own the file and can read on any device.
If you have no idea what to dress up as for Halloween, consider one of Sanguine Scenario characters? 4 costumes for you to choose from. Which one would you pick?
Editing Life Remains and Mabel is struggling with things "She had known for a while she didn’t much care about gender when it came to being attracted to people, but a vampire was a new low, even for her." Go back Queer Vampire Bonanza now #booksky #queersky www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s...

Just got back from my annual. My PCP already wants to put me on blood pressure and anxiety meds (because apparently, I worry a lot). And that's even before the blood work... Nothing says "getting older" louder than potential +200% increase in pills you're taking.
And to wrap up the season of spooky and creepy 3D art, here's a piece I created earlier this year. I think it's still one of my favorites, and I managed to get the cat's expression just right, don't you think? No AI.
This is becoming a problem.
I'm more of a dog person, so this is the only cat I own, but since it's Black Cat Day, let's share some love for cats. Which is your favorite fictional cat, black or otherwise? (I wonder if Princess Donut will make the list!)
If you'd like to have a taste of what my new fantasy adventure Sanguine Scenario is like, you can read the sample chapters on my website. Or... you can sign up to my newsletter and receive a 3 short stories featuring main characters of the book.
Since today is International Artist Day, I thought I'd share some of my favorite pieces of 3D art that I made over the years that aren't my covers (should I share the covers too?). I admit, it was tricky to pick just a few. Which one is your favorite? No AI.
