It's February, has been for some time.

I've known this but today that extra little TING went off in my brain and I realised ITS FREAKIN FEBRUARY!!!!

Also, picture of some pretty books that I have words inside of. I'm so proud of them, and how much I still love them.

Ahhh escapism, how I am needing you at this moment.

There's no wonder I write fantasy and adore reading it as well.

Here are some of my books as they came with me to find a way to breathe a little better out on the farm.

Christmas was rather unexpectedly more muted than expected.

Sickness has bounced around our family for almost a week now.

But we've all been together, played Cluedo, made Lego, had dance breaks, let the evil kitty out for grassy fun, snuggled with the other pets, and laughed lots.

Not all bad.

One of the things I'm most proud of on my Patreon this year was starting my Aussie Author collections.

The first collection is accessible to read from my Witch Tier, or you can buy the collection on it's own.

But hopefully this idiotic embarrassing Neen moment will give ya'll a chuckle. Gaia knows we need some chuckles right now lol

I’m not a huge fantasy reader, but I have to say, I’m intrigued by the idea of sapphic mermaids. That’s why I’m so excited for this preorder from Adrian J. Smith and @neencohen.bsky.social
I have a feeling Deep Sounding Chaos will be an unforgettable adventure. 🌈📚
