For folks looking to help those affected by the storm that blew through NC, Triangle Mutual Aid is doing great work. Their Venmo and Cashap are both TriangleMutualAid. If you want to Venmo me at nicole-barnard-5, I'll give anything I get to local businesses in need.

Any shares would be wonderful❤️

It’s release day!

Happy A Sky So Hollow day to all who celebrate! It’s now available in Kindle Unlimited and paperback through online retailers. The audiobook is finished and waiting to be processed by Audible. It should be available soon!
The paperback of A Sky So Hollow and confetti graphics are shown. Text reads “Out Now! Available in Kindle Unlimited and paperback. Audiobook is coming!” The paperback of a Sky So Hollow is pictured against a starry sky. Text reads “Really stuck the landing. Heartfelt, intense, full of love, monsters, and very human characters.” White text is against a blue starry background. The text reads “what early readers are saying: Montgomery’s writing style continues to be sharp and emotionally moving” — Emily on Storygraph “For all my annotators out there, get your highlighters ready. There are so many gems you'll want to keep coming back to.” — Adrienne on Goodreads “Montgomery does a wonderful job further carving out the facets of his well-developed characters, while gripping the reader's attention with high stakes, intense action sequences, and high concept magic system.” — Taylor on Goodreads” Craig, a white man with dark hair, is in a green shirt and is holding a copy of A Sky So Hollow

How about some SFF Book Recommendations for Mental Health Awareness Month because Mental Health representation matters, and sometimes it is within the most fantastical of pages that we feel the most understood! What are some of your favorite books with MH rep?

Surprise!

I feel dizzy.

The book cover for A Sky So Hollow by Craig Montgomery. The figures of two men and a woman are shrouded in stardust and shadows over a gleaming pyramid with the image of an eye in its center. The text of the title is gold and the background colors of the cover are teal and purple. A header tag line reads “There is a monster in us all.”

I don’t think I’ve ever struggled with doom scrolling the way I have the past couple of weeks. Maybe during the traumatic breakup of my early twenties? I do not like the way this feels!

ACTUAL MAGIC:
Caspian is as far from a magical chosen one as you can get, which makes rooming with the ACTUAL Chosen One impossible. When romance blooms, can Arik's prophetic fate keep him and Caspian apart, or will the two discover that some magic is stronger than others?

An image collage. Two hands clasped in a rainbow. A castle in the mountains. One short pair of sneakers on tip toe standing toe to toe with a pair flat-footed, implying a kiss. A dark academia picture of someone studying with tea, and a book about moths. A blond, muscled young man in black and white. A soft-featured young man with dark shaggy hair. A library packed with old books. Blue sparkles and hands holding golden light. Text in the center says: ACTUAL MAGIC. Rivals to lovers. Opposites attract. Magical school. LGBTQ+. It quotes the book in an excerpt: "You know what the worst thing ever is? When you're having a crappy day and the weather is perfect. I'm talking blue sky, sun shining, just enough of a breeze to keep the temperature right where you want it - only everything else is awful. Like now."

Just kneaded my first homemade pasta dough. 🤞🏻 Hope I did it ok.

I also learned, if anyone has made you homemade pasta, you were not appreciative enough.

Go thank them. Now.

Just spent a good seven minutes crawling around the bathroom on my hands and knees trying to find the source of what sounded like dripping water.

We have an old home and the previous owners DIY’d the bathroom, so I’m wary.

After my thirteenth lap, I think hmm. Is that actually a clock ticking?

An hour of revision work feels like running a marathon to my brain. So frustrating that this part of the writing process overwhelms me. How do I swap sides to writer who doesn’t like drafting but excels at revisions? 😂

Spending 4.5 hours this morning prepping tax paperwork for author stuff, knowing that I’m gonna have a multi-thousand dollar tax bill for last year, sure is a lot of fun.

When does the withholding of funds kind of protesting begin?

I haven’t exactly kept track, because I don’t hate myself, but I’ve eaten approximately half a tray of brownies over the last few days. Everything is fine, though. 👌🏻👍🏻 A-OK.
