I did a 1 year trial of PWA last year because Grammerly kept failing me

I’d copy/paste into PWA, let the spell check / gramar check go, then yank it out

Hearing this, I’m glad I never left my stuff in longer than a few hours

I Wont be renewing that subscription

If a book isn’t doing it for you? Nope out early and often. Even (maybe especially) if it’s something you’re writing.

This is my latest free Patreon feature.

It's ~2,000 words about one of my all-time favorite anime and how I learned to stop looking at it with rose-tinted glasses.

Morty's diet is turning to long pork. Can a nerdy bookseller stop a cannibal curse, or is succumbing to the endless hunger actually useful for culling the world of bigots? Horror comedy with gore & snark: WENDIGOGO! books2read.com/u/mv5BzX & graythornpub.com
Cover for WENDIGOGO by KA Silva, illustration by Sally Jackson. Morty, an average young white guy wearing a blue sweatshirt & jeans, looks warily over his shoulder at thr monster looming behind him. Its elk skull has huge sharp antlers, fangs dripping ichor, and glowing red eyesockets. Its long arms end in wicked claws, and ribs show through its patchy pelt. A blizzard swirls in the night behind them. The E in the title is formed by red claw slashes.

Here’s the pitch for my novel I am #querying

The Night of Fallen Gods

To integrate a sect of worshippers of the “One True God” further into society, the First Daughter of the Alliance must travel to their Holy City, which no outsider has set foot in for two hundred years.
Map of the Alliance of the Nine from The Night of Fallen Gods Imagine you live in a world where war does not exist, and war knocks on your door. For thousands of years the Alliance of the Nine has stood without conflict. All of its peoples, be they Dragon, Elf, Dwarf, Wyldkin, or Human, are able to live the lives they desire with their needs met. None are considered greater than another, and no path in life is considered beneath respect. Until 200 years ago, when another wave of Humans suddenly arrive in this world from another. These people bring with them their One True God, their Savior, along with a fear and rejection of the peoples of the Alliance, their Gods, and all that they stand for. After a city is built for them, they lock the gates and send out only a few of their number every seven years to convert any they can to their ways. Now the Sovereign of the Alliance, in a bid to draw these Faithful into greater society, has finally managed to secure their participation in the All Gods Festival. In exchange however he must send his only daughter as an envoy to the Faithful's Holy City. And so Roderika, First Daughter of the Alliance, will travel with her childhood friend Arlo in the company of a Sister of the Church to Megiddo, Bastion of the Faithful. Her partner Tala and magic tutor Henet remain behind in the Alliance Capital, suspicious of the Faithful's sudden cooperation and determined to learn more. But all is not as it seems. Hidden machinations march the world ever closer to an event that will shatter a millennia old peace. Towards... The Night of Fallen Gods.

A trope/theme map. Blurred pink, blue, and purple background that has a number of arrows pointing towards a book cover featuring a backdrop of skyscrapers in dark blue and pink.

Rebel broadcast. Cyberpunk retelling of Snow White. Sapphic, Ace romance. Comfort playlist. Cozy 2nd-hand shopping trip. Jailbreak? Absolutely, yes. Little people rep that isn't stereotypical. Found family.
