Just a reminder that I have a newsletter, and my subscriber get all the news first! I also share things that don't make it to social media. Sign up, get a short story collection, and be in the know of what's coming next without relying on being on social media at the right time to see it.

Yesterday, the Kickstarter for Sanguine Scenario has ended, and the special edition is funded. Thank you all for backing, sharing, liking, and everything else before and during the campaign. I'm humbled by the support I received and excited to start working on delivering the rewards. Thank you!

A calm morning before the busy day starts. (Yes, there’s coffee in that milk… but it’s decaf 😜)

If you're tired of me talking about the Kickstarter, here's good news: it's ending soon. If it's the first time you see me talking about it, here's bad news: there's very little time left to jump in and get Sanguine Scenario in your preferred format! 🔗👇

Sanguine Scenario's Kickstarter is coming to an end, but there's still time to join in (and help the project get to additional illustrations stretch goal). www.kickstarter.com/projects/aut...

The world of Sanguine Scenario isn't a safe place. One turn in a wrong alley, and…

More illustrations!

Less than a week to get Sanguine Scenario on Kickstarter in your chosen format (e-book, paperback, jacketed hardcover, or special edition). All of them will feature these illustrations! Check reply for more pictures and back here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/aut...

Only 7 days left! Get Sanguine Scenario with 5 interior illustrations (more if we hit the stretch goal), a hand-drawn map, and custom chapter header. Don't miss out on the special edition or pick another format and be the first to read this cozy dark fantasy adventure!

All the characters in Sanguine Scenario have thoughts on adventures. What are yours? The Kickstarter has only 8 days to go, so if you want an illustrated cozy dark fantasy adventure with custom chapter headers, pick your format (e-book, pb, jacketed hc, or special edition) and join other backers!

It's somewhat a bad luck that I can't be much online this week, but I do pop in when I can, and as of time of this post, we're less than $200 away from the next stretch goal: two new interior illustrations in all the formats! Here's a sneak peak of one of them.

Tuesday is here, and we have to face it… Hopefully with enough tea (or coffee, if you prefer) to help you make it through the day. Nyraleth definitely needs her daily dose to survive traveling.

I always liked the old-style recruitment posters, so I couldn't resist making my own. Four of them, as depending on which character you ask, the recruiting message should be different. Join them all on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/aut...

First stretch goal of the campaign reached! This adorable (but also very dangerous) pup joins three other character cards already available in the campaign. Next goal: two more illustrations in all the formats of the book.

I launched the Kickstarter for Sanguine Scenario yesterday, and I can't keep up! I'm humbled by the support for the book and delighted that there are readers out there who want their darker stories still have hope and friendships, and who prefer competent characters. Thank you!

The Kickstarter for Sanguine Scenario is officially live now! There's an e-book and selection of signed and unsigned print: paperback, jacketed hardcover, and a special edition of course! And some extras, printed and digital. Check it out and take your pick!

Have you seen the character art for Sanguine Scenario yet? Those three character cards for Nyraleth, Delaressa, and Vythren will be part of Kickstarter rewards. The project's launching tomorrow, so if you don't want to miss it, click that Notify at launch button! www.kickstarter.com/projects/aut...

As human nature would have it, with centuries, a new word is slowly replacing an old word. But Vythren knows why the old word is important and the values it reflects. Sanguine Scenario is coming to Kickstarter THIS WEEK!

Humanborn has made it to the Top 100 of free books on Amazon! Thank you for making it happen! You can still get your copy, and if you prefer to shop elsewhere, it's free everywhere. (Or hop over to my direct store to actually own the file rather than a license.)

If you're an urban fantasy fan, you can't miss this event! Only today you can get dozens of book free! (And if you haven't grabbed Humanborn yet, now's your chance!) urbanfantasyaddict.com/

Did you know that you can already read chapter 1 of Sanguine Scenario? If you'd like to meet Nyraleth (who is already getting in trouble despite doing her best to avoid it), hop over to my website and enjoy! authorjm.com/books/sangui...

It seems that for some people, traps might be just another kind of an adventure, and thus something to look forward to... I'm not pointing at anyone in particular, of course. 😉

Today is an International Faerie Day, and I have related art! This one came to be the usual way: by trying to test all the things I got. And speaking of faeries... What's your favorite faerie lore or story?

Sanguine Scenario has another great review, and Alexandra highlights the aspect that is always very important in my stories: characters being competent and confident in their skills, making what they think are best decisions based on what they know.

Summer is here, and some people are already making vacation plans. If lack of paid time off, money, or other obligations keep you from your dream vacation, remember that you could still travel and experience the thrill of adventure! Explore Kaighal today with Kamira and Veelk!

A week ago, I asked you to help me choose a new color palette for the website. Seeing all 4 of them together made me realize some issues they had, and the most voted one wasn't perfect either. But your feedback prompted me to refine it more, and here it is!

Sometimes, when you wake up after camping in the forest hearing sounds of something big and dangerous approaching… your companion does not react as you'd expect her to…

Summer is nearly here (and judging by temperatures in my area, it has already arrived), so today's 3D art is on the theme. I love naps, especially in the afternoon sun… Just don't get them often.

Morning tea on the patio, before it gets hot (101F/39C forecasted for today)

If Monday makes you groan, why not start it with some character art? And if you're smiling, why not add some character art to your day anyway? Hop over to Kickstarter for the exclusive character art reveal for Sanguine Scenario! www.kickstarter.com/projects/aut...
