Well that sobered me up, metaphorically speaking. My editor just emailed to tell me she's starting on book two's manuscript today. Eek!

I wasn't expecting this yesterday! @splashygirl.bsky.social messaged me yesterday to tell me there was a billboard with my book on it. Nah... Yup. Two of them, in fact. My local library is awesome!! Nereid Unbound launches tomorrow on all platforms! #books #WritingCommunity 📚💙

Shot this photo last night just after sunset. Digging the vibe. #sunset #photography

I did achieve my goal of sending book two's manuscript to my editor this morning. Glad to have that off my plate for the next month so I can get back to writing book three. When last I left off, I was at 30k words... 🩷🧙‍♂️⚔️ #writing #WritingCommunity

I'm RICH!!! I found $20 in the pocket of some shorts I shoved in a drawer last year!

One of my Supawvisors, Riley, out for a stroll near Choctawhatchee Beach, FL. He frequently reminds me to take breaks from #writing. On the bright side, book two goes to my editor this weekend! More time for walkies. #dogs #Florida

My all-time favorite photo of giant tadpoles in a #Florida Spring. #Nature #Photography

One of my favorite authors, circa 2006, used em dashes on almost every page. I curse AI for so many things, including co-opting writer's works, but I also curse those that see it as a sign of AI usage. Em dashes were here long before AI. Long live the em dash! It did nothing wrong!

@bannedcamp.bsky.social Enjoyed listening to Chapter 20 today, and I laughed at the good news re: Mom's of Liberty. I live in Florida and worry my books may potentially be banned one day. I'm playing the world's smallest violin for them. 🤣

The only proof I have of capturing a mesmerizing #sunset. The brand new SD card in the camera was bad. Life imitates art, so I made Nerissa Morgen, the main character in Nereid Unbound, a photographer with her own gallery. #photography #urbanfantasy

Good morning everyone. Thought I would drop another of my photos in to showcase how diverse #Florida is. This is a heard of wild horses at Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park. #nature #wildlife

Still one of my favorite Florida photos. Sure, we've got gators, but a surprised deer brings a chuckle. #nature #photography #wildlife

Nine days until the official launch of Nereid Unbound! 💙📚 #urbanfantasy #writerslift

Nereid Unbound — an urban fantasy of hidden magic, mythology, and secrets beneath the waters of Florida's Gulf Coast. #books #fantasy Available for pre-order now.

I received the second proof copy today. Quality-wise, they are nearly identical with the exception of the cover colors. This is a temporary cover until my artist completes the covers for the series. There were so many setbacks, I just pushed forward. Preference? #books #writing

@bannedcamp.bsky.social Chapter 19 got a WTF! from me today.

If you’re at Hindman Settlement School for the Appalachian Writers Workshop, I’d love to see you at this generative writing workshop! #writing #writingcraft #appalachianwritersworkshop

Just a few words of encouragement for our #writing community. #WritingCommunity #amwriting

You never know who you're going to bump into in a #Florida swamp. There's a scene in Nereid Unbound where Nerissa is trapped in a swamp overnight. When she encounters the Gloom Shadows, alligators are the least of her worries. #wildlife #urbanfantasy

Another of Florida's natural wonders that provided inspiration for Nereid Unbound. #Florida #Nature #Kayaking E-book available for pre-order on all major platforms.

This stone is know by many names: hag stone, witch's stone, fairy stone, etc. In Nereid Unbound, it is an amulet called a "watai." This one was discovered on a Florida beach. Just another example of #nature doing the heavy lifting when it comes to plot devices. #writing #magic

Nereid Unbound is a mystery-driven urban fantasy where mythology, hidden magic, and family secrets take center stage, with a slow-burn romance that grows naturally along the way. E-book available for pre-order now on all platforms. #books #fantasy #BookSky www.sagebyrne.com/nereidunbound

One of my supawvisors, Callie, giving feedback on how book three is progressing. Fun fact: I wasn't even thinking about the similarity when I named the antagonist in my series "Calixtra." Her family often calls her "Cali." #writing #dogs #books

Today I'm going to proof the dust jacket for the hardcover edition of Nereid Unbound, and then I'm going to give book two one last editing pass before I send it to the editor next month. A writer's work is never done.

*THIS* is the Florida spring that inspired a location in Nereid Unbound. Every time I visit it takes my breath away. Nature is amazing! This series is a Southern Gothic urban fantasy blending Choctaw and Greek mythology, mystery, and a secret that wont' stay buried. #books #fantasy #folklore
