From Sunfall, which is available at last! This completes the Ethereal Cycle. It began as a pandemic project, a way to write down the stories my daughter and I told walking in the woods.

Now it's a finished trilogy. Wild.

From Carpathians 2. For those who read the first one, yes, Dr. Herecic is a POV character in book two. You have been warned...

From Carpathians 2. New POV character: commander of the Accipiter. She's... kinda awesome.

I think I've shared part of this before, but it's kinda peak Feyis and one of my favorites. This is from Carpathians 2. I might just write a whole series about him someday. "Contractors in Space", or some such.

Tentacle? Really? I mean, a giant kraken fight is basically the plot of Moonfall, so... here's just one example I guess?

This is from An Occurrence at Owlskirk, a short story that was in some ways a precursor to Carpathians. Not the same universe, but kind of similar vibes in its own way.

From Carpathians 2. This is Herecic about to be called to the carpet by his boss, for those who read the first one.
