WELL IN FACT if you are a member of @sfwa.bsky.social, they have some health insurance options available, based on the same concept of pooling groups together (in this case other lit-focused orgs). This itself is a compelling reason for qualified writers to join SFWA.

Void Spheres is the second of my Aether Spheres space fantasy novels.
Our trio of mages are entering spheres dead for centuries.
Their mission means they must pass - but there are no good reasons for a sphere to die.

If you're posting to social media and find alt text challenging, try using AI to write the description - it's quite good. A prompt like "Write a brief alt-text description of this image appropriate for social media" or "Write a 144 character or less description of this image" tends to work well.

It's always fun to get into my shop and to make something - in this case, a wand for a staff member's daughter who is a big Harry Potter fan.
The wand is Bocote, with a rare earth magnet hidden under the tip so the wielder can work minor magic...if objects near the tip are magnetic.
