An illustration of a blond elf holding a lantern. He has a scar on his cheek and is looking suspiciously over his shoulder; in the background looms a dark cityscape. Bright text on the image says: "Fractured Magic, a queer fantasy webserial by em rowene. queerenigma.com" A red square with white text. It says: (@emrowene)j A penny dreadful for the modern reader! A thrilling tale for the masses! Read about a fallen hero's hunt for revenge and a bitter prince's quest to rescue his kidnapped king.

US friends, please go vote today in local elections (I voted early by mail already). Fewer people turnout in smaller elections so your engagement really matters.

I know a lot of people (cough Millennials) feel like they need to START a thing, START a food bank, build a little free food pantry.

My friends, my loves, my dears.

Don't start.

JOIN.

These exist. They have community ties! They have some funding! Accountability! Regulations!

All these people talking about how writing is dead, books are dead. Bullshit.

Corporations are attempting to exploit writers and turn them into marketers precisely because writing/books are NOT dead, because writers are good at what they do and people are hungry — will always be hungry—for stories.

All I have is Georgie, who will most definitely be appearing in future Case Files mysteries!

(She actually has a very short cameo in Confessions of a Medium)

COVER REVEAL sneak preview!

This Thursday, exactly 2 weeks before the story starts serializing on my website, I'll reveal the cover for the new Sheridan Bell mystery.

If you like fantasy mysteries and Irish mythology, keep an eye out for more info about Confession of a Medium!
The book cover for Sheridan Bell and the Vanishing Beast, mystery #1 of the Case Files of Sheridan Bell, except it's been modified--the original cover featured an illustration of Sheridan Bell, but a strip has been erased across his eyes to reveal a different character's eyes beneath: this character is pale with silver hair and his eyes are red. The title has also been erased to hint at a new title beneath: Confession of a Medium.
