Neverborn is taking shape! The front cover art by Julisa Basak is finished and looks amazing. The worlds keep getting bigger, and Ewan O'Meara is pressed harder than ever to keep them from treating each other apart.

I have a dream where a bunch of local fantasy authors get together to play a DnD campaign, and we ALL write a book inspired by the campaign, told by our characters' POVs and we release them all together with matching cover art.

So... who's down?

One of my favorite books of all time. The worldbuilding, the languages, the sense of huge events and light in the darkness. A world created by music. I read this countless times as a kid.

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.

#books #reading #booksky #poetry
A poem by Langston Hughes titled "Tired". It reads as the following: "I am so tired of waiting, Aren't you, For the world to become good And beautiful and kind? Let us take a knife And cut the world in two -- And see what worms are eating At the rind."
