From Ninth Door: Old lovers reunited after 2 years . . . will Qaree fall for him again? 😄

It's Kella and Qaree, two of my POV characters in The Ninth Door! They're both Spell Crafters, mages who specialize in designing new ways to use magic.

Some line art I worked on this morning. I like the carefree vibe of this piece. It's Vienna and Pen from my book, The Kissing Moon. #indieauthor #fairytale #lineart

Jiji is making sure I don’t stop tying my chapters. He is a stern manager.

Another ghostly picture for the season - this is Evanna and Zare from Bound by Briar, my Beauty and the Beast retelling where the unseen servants are ghosts . . . and one of them gets the girl!

It's October, so I must post pictures of my favorite ghost, Zare, the unassuming phantom cook of my Beauty and the Beast Retelling, Bound by Briar. This ballroom scene was inspired by "Once Upon a December" in the movie Anastasia.

Concept art for mage component belts in The Ninth Door - all spells need material components in this world, so the mages carry them in special belts to be ready at any time.

From The Ninth Door, Monk Daysu un'Tell and his adorable pet, Urtee. She's a co'elldah pup, and will someday grow into a serpentine, feathered dragonlike creature. Right now she's just freaking cute 😍 #booksky #writer #fantasy #writesky 📚📚

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.
