And my 4/5 review for "Weasel Under the Sun" by @kyellgold.com is up. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
Scappo has been posting several images from "Mortal Deceptions," the story I wrote in his Waykeepers universe. If you'd like to read the full story (and see all the alt images), you can find it here: cubebrush.co/scappo/produ...
This is an occasional "Buy my book" reminder that I have done more than just novels. I've also edited a number of anthologies.
Started in on Strixhaven: Omens of Chaos by @seananmcguire.bsky.social. Already loving these characters.
One thing I've been having fun with is making sure the various locales we visit are all very very different. Compared to the glitz and glamor of Venesia, Mahe is a very different beast.
Been sick and getting back into writing with a fun action scene of Zas just bodying some chumps. #amwriting
I am sure someone will be happy to know that the world of Blue Zenith does have taurs in it. #amwriting
Everyone is talking about stories about schools for magic. There is a reason I put this line in near the end of The Modern Pleasuremage.
And it's time for the cover reveal! Once again cover art was done by the wonderful @kalahari.bsky.social
Also, because this is absolutely a topic which will get me, as the kids say, back on my bullshit, here are some depictions of Citizen Chauvelin.
The Holly and Ivy club, a setting for a very important scene in the book, was modeled after settings from various film adaptations of The Scarlet Pimpernel, especially the 1934 version.
There are some bits of character lore that never show up in the book. I actually figured out exactly what town I wanted Faiza Njeri to have grown up in. It's Naivasha, Kenya.
Everyone is asking who the worst actor to play Bond would be, and this has already been answered by Casino Royale 1967. In fact, it gave us two!
Since it hasn't yet been revealed elsewhere, this is the dedication in The Modern Pleasuremage.
Pleased to see some good representation of IDW characters in the TMNT magic set, even if Alopex isn't actually named for some reason.
Okay, now I really want to know what furry is doing art for The Bazaar.
Continuing my gimmick of having chapter titles be something connected to the themes or ideas of the book, now for Blue Zenith. #amwriting
I am extremely pleased that someone in the making of Knives Out decided to just ignore this direction regarding Benoit Blanc's accent.
I had a character who used sign language, but the viewpoint character could only read letters, so I punctuated it as I would if they were saying letters aloud one at a time. I think it worked for this but I might have changed things if there was a lot more ASL involved.
Also, because this thread is getting a little bit of traction. Hello, I'm Dark End, and I recently published my first novel, which has a whole lot of sex in it. furplanet.com/shop/item.as...
Woke up this morning and immediately sat down to finish the Wizard of Earthsea graphic novel. Damn, that was good. Well paced, knew when to be slow and when to be fast, knew when to just bring in narration from the novel.
Also, if you're wondering why I chose to make my young and adventurous, flirtatious, and debonair space smuggler character be a ringtail, well... I would hope the answer is obvious.
As I have begun writing Blue Zenith in earnest, here's a little look at our main character to whet your appetite. #amwriting
