That feeling when you board a train, settle in, and begin to relax, and just as the train begins to move you remember you forgot to check you got on the right train...

"You write fantasy?" "I do." "So there’s dragons?" "No. There are draconids, but they’re more like dinosaurs." "Fae?" "Nope." "Then what?" “Can I interest you in a world where part of your soul is made up of an ethereal being called the kai?” (Photoshop image btw. Because F*ck AI) #booksky

#WeeknightWriters Q6 I released a book this week! The Witch of the Wood is a cozy horror MM romance novella! The perfect way to kick off your spooky season! Uni: books2read.com/u/bw6gwP Itch: applesncinnamon.itch.io/the-witch-of... Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/alexlarkspur... Cover by @isthiseva.bsky.social

The cover of The Witch of the Wood by Alex Larkspur. It features two men in a dark and gloomy forest. Milo stands in front, a man with tan skin and short, dark hair. He’s dressed in a cream tunic and a green cloak around his shoulders. He has a bow and arrows. He is clearly afraid as he stares at his left hand. His fingers are blackened due a curse that is spreading across his hand. Another man, Cam, is turned the other way and holding Milo’s right hand. He’s looking over his shoulder and looking at Milo with concern. His clothes are bright, colorful, and patchwork. The gloom of the forest mutes their color. The trees seem to close in around them.

I explore what a "regular" fantasy world might look like if it didn't get stuck in pseudo-medieval times but evolved into something like the real world of today. I explore what it might be like to live there, by focusing deeply on the characters that do.

Okay folks of the #WritersCommunity, I have an interesting indie marketing prompt challenge... Give us your elevator pitch, for yourself! What is your author brand? How would you sell yourself?

Nils O@nils.readindiefantasy.com · 2w ago

I read and reviewed some books. It's been a while, but I'm hoping to get back into it now that the moving and everything is done and over with. Also, Nils still thinks writing about himself in third person is slightly awkward, but maybe it'll get better with practice. Also(2), read these books.

It's review o'clock. We've heard that @benschenkman.bsky.social is about to release the fourth book in his The Devil You Know series. Nils previously read, enjoyed, and reviewed the first book, so here's a catch-up review of the entire series so far: www.readindiefantasy.com/series-revie...

Today has been oddly busy. That's good, I guess, except for the last two hours I was busily typing on the computer on the table in my room, where my posture is awful, so now I ache.

From: A Daughter of These Lands Well well well... I didn't check, but I'm sure I can't be the only one who did that. :P Anyway, here's one of the more playful snippets of this book, which includes more words said by Raoul in one go than in the entire previous book in total. #WIPSnips Text in alt

A snippet of text from A Daughter of These Lands. The text reads: "Oh..." Heat rose to her cheeks, and she was glad the darkness hid it. There wasn't much else to say about it, was there. She'd acted rashly, and without thinking, and, well, that was that. Raoul however, wasn't done. "By my count, that was less than forty five seconds into the mission, if we consider it a mission, which I do, and that means it's a new world record for the fastest time for a paladin to lose their gear. I was the only one present, so it can't be officially ratified, but I will still submit it as an unofficial entry for the Chroniclers' Society of Silly Statistics."

I used to think werewolves were cooler than vampires (still do), and I wanted to write about them. Little did I know that werewolf books are supposed to have alpha males, hot knobly sex, toxic pack dynamics, and feral violence. So I wrote Last Fight of the Old Hound: mybook.to/LostDogs1

Cover image for Last Fight of the Old Hound. It's intended to evoke feelings of introspection and internal conflict.
