Tomb of Heart and Shadow had a cat in it (as is tradition). As I was writing the book, including her felt increasingly clunky, to the point where I was wondering if Taleysin would even *have* a cat.
In the end, Rosie was cut from the story. She'll be adopted into another book eventually though!

What's something you wanted to include in your last book that just didn't make the cut for one reason or another? #WritingPrompt

Fellow indie authors, give me your books! More specifically, your Kindle Unlimited books, because it's Black Friday, KU was comically cheap again, and I wanna read some cool indie stuff.
Fantasy, sci-fi, horror, romance, or any combination of these.

Why the HELL are we allowing the US to act as if they own the entire goddamn world? Why are we letting them run rampant and do nothing about it? Why do we bow to the whims of the American Empire in this day and age?

In a normal world, this should be an immense scandal in Europe.
Le Monde has a long article describing the hellish life of Nicolas Guillou, a French judge at the ICC in The Hague, due to U.S. sanctions punishing him for authorizing arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant for war crimes in Gaza.
Guillou's daily existence has been transformed into a Kafkaesque nightmare. He cannot: open or maintain accounts with Google, Amazon, Apple, or any US company; make hotel reservations (Expedia canceled his booking in France hours after he made it); conduct online commerce, since he can't know if the packaging is American; use any major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex are all American); access normal banking services, even with non-American banks, as banks worldwide close sanctioned accounts; conduct virtually any financial transaction.
He describes it as being "economically banned across most of the planet," including in his own country, France, and where he works, the Netherlands.
That's the real shocking aspect of this: the Americans are:
- punishing a European citizen
- for doing his job in Europe
- applying laws Europe officially supports
- at an institution based in Europe
- that Europe helped create and fund
and Europe is not only doing essentially nothing to protect him, they're actively enforcing America's sanctions against their own citizen - European banks closing his accounts, European companies refusing him service, European institutions standing by while Washington destroys a European judge's life on European soil.
Again, in a normal world, European leaders and citizens should be absolutely outraged about this. But we've so normalized the hollowing out of European sovereignty that the sight of a European citizen being economically executed on European soil for upholding European law is treated, at best, as an unfortunate technical complication in transatlantic

Yeah, so I actually write books for people who want to read those books, not for people who go "I don't like reading, lemme ask the plagiarism robot for a summary".
Also, if you're even thinking about feeding my work into an AI for any reason? Kindly fuck off and never return.

Saw a post today that advised writers to stop writing as if a human will read it and start writing for an LLM that will be summarising.
As someone who really enjoyed trying to develop a peculiar but readable authorial voice, I find this incredibly depressing.

In the year 2025, it should not be this difficult to find sticker labels that are off-white instead of pure white.
And yet. There is one (1) option, and it is comically expensive for what it is.

I don't write many male leads, but Henry in Dark Heart of Ilmoure has a key role in the story. He's a teacher, idealistic to a fault, and his students mean everything to him. Even if he knows he's in deep shit, he'll stay and fight if it means helping just one more child.
