The Turquoise Spider is the first #Novella of the Elizabeth Hunter-Payne #Series by Mikala Ash. It's a #Steamy read that's easily consumed in a single sitting. Recommended for fans of #Steampunk and #Mystery, as long as you don't mind the heat!

A ‘card shark’ was originally a ‘card sharp.’
Since ‘shark’ was already associated with a crafty person who takes advantage of others, the ‘sharp’ transitioned to ‘shark.’

Our small, indy tea companies bring so much love to this beverage 💖 earlier this month, we lost a deeply beloved tea purveyor, and I would be distraught indeed to lose Friday Teas as well. Not only do they provide delightful tea, but Friday herself is such a beacon of kindness.
Thank you for the love this summer as we continue our tea house pledge drive! We've made it over halfway to our goal to defeat the survival debt cost that's bleeding our small community space dry.
Once we hit goal, we can keep all our revs and be back to breaking even! (1/4)

Preorders are still open for the Cat Royalty medals, and also for the campaign exclusive medals for the Exorcism Engines and Entertainment in Londinium releases. I've also listed a few leftover items from earlier campaigns, but they're going fast!

Things have been iffy for a while but suddenly got dire. We’ll surely be ok but currently need a bit of help. Thank you to everyone who has donated, it’s such a relief and we’re shocked at the response. Thank you!
#girlgenius Hated to do it, but we started a GoFundMe. These are chaotic times, and no mistake, and all of a sudden we realized they were chaosing all over us. (www.gofundme.com/f/help-the-f...) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I plan to place the order for the new medals at the end of the month. I'd like to give it longer, but I took SO LONG to get the BackerKit stuff up and running that I have to move fast now. I'll only do one run of the limited book medals, so grab one now if you want it!
Here's one of the things that's been keeping me busy! In addition to the new cat medals, we have the limited-run collectible medals from the latest Girl Genius issues and some leftover medals and patches from earlier campaigns!
