I'm Zed Prospero, Bi/Demi ADHD writer of satirical fantasy and the occasional queer smut as Zeke Caliban.
I've published two novellas and my main WIP is "Hell Is Work" about Hell's Consultant, Virgil Mora, and Lucifer, the angel he's fallen for.
If that's interesting, say hi!

Virgil needs Laz to break into a funeral home. There's just one problem: they need to be invited.
Virgil finds this caveat irksome.

I have a small piece of publishing news coming soon. I’m not very good at these vague posts, but I wrote some dragons stories - my particular obsession - & they’re coming out later this year. I’m just checking if I can share the cover - ‘cause there’s a cover. Bear with…

FOUR OF SHADOWS - Virgil
Upright: His face an empty vessel with a painted smile. His old life. His old job.
Reversed: Stern non-plussed face, bags under his eyes, but a genuine smirk of pride on his face.
Choosing happiness is hard. It shows.

Usually, it's a quip. My favorite, especially out of context, is:
"Debt weighs on us all. You can't afford trousers that can handle the strain."
There are poignant ones too, but the good puns stick in my head better. 😅

The spell did work, sort of, as it destroyed the Reavers and while the Duke, a lich, was not destroyed he only sustains himself by draining what little life tries to heal the land, effectively imprisoning him in the Peak of Despair.
The cost of that victory was incredibly high, though.

Death is a natural part of the lifecycle of all things. Decay feeds life. Therefore, as magic is very literal, if nothing once dead should rise, no life may come from it.
So, as it should not exist, everything died. It was only the Varlins and the Tring itself that stopped it from spreading.

Let's talk about the worst backfire: the spell that ended The Reaving and defeated the first Necromancer at the Peak of Despair
A spell to ensure that nothing once dead could rise again, seventy-seven pages long, and that almost destroyed all Ezra.

Vespidarians do not concern themselves with such questions. They are driven by basic needs to strengthen their hives.
Most believe they would be a largely harmless species without the Synacrans "guiding" them to conquer more systems.

Quetzal arrived at the Big Bang, ironically, through their old religion. It was their belief that the universe began as an egg.
The discovery and theory of the Big Bang only made sense to them, and eventually science became their religion.
They had a few millennia headstart on humans there.

Causality past The Bleed is more of a plaything than a constant rule of the universe. It is possible it was created at the end of time, or the beginning, or it is older than our reality.
Angels do not bow to a god or gods. They are more like a sentient black hole, disrupting all who come near.

The universe is generally accepted to have been created through the Big Bang. The existence of the Mycelials and the Quetzal deflated most human religion.

No. There is no afterlife in “Regenesis” only various forms of undeath.
Synacrans believe only humans have souls, while ISC humans vary in belief. Quetzals have no such concept.
Mycelials have a “That’s nice, dear” attitude towards it all.

#FebruaryWorldbuilders. Are souls real in your world? Does anything happen to them after a person dies? Or, whether or not they know the truth, do your characters have any beliefs about that? Does your world's religion preach anything about souls?

Sorry for the late post! Scheduler got mixed up.
Honestly, it sounds bad, but Azrael, Angel of Death, would be on this card. The reasons why are quite spoilery though.
It's not about "the sweet release of Death." It's very much about waking up... 👀

hey, this might sound a little freaky, maybe even a little radical, but I think the focus should be making sure writers/artists are properly compensated, supported, and have a secure way of living/creating instead of trying to replace us with robots, and/or having us train them.
