Not traditionally powerful but finding reasons to smile anyway? This still from the music video for 'Don't Punish My Love' by Delta Heavy feels very apt.

It's Indie Bookstore Day, so you could use something literary, funny and slightly smutty that can be purchased in indie book stores.
Someone literary, funny & slightly smutty approves this message.

A trade paperback copy of the novel MAGIC FLASK by Fennel Steuert on a very cool, stone-like surface. Novel's cover is black with title in light blue and author's name below in light gray. Above title there's a gradient image of a flask with a young woman of color shifting out of it as a shadow being caresses her and a smaller flask in her hands

Text from novella 'Late Night Partners' by Fennel Steuert, including: Roger had gone out on plenty of errands since his moved with his great uncle - he read Simon's letter of complaint to a manager at the bank, then per Simon's request, he read that same letter aloud over at the branch of Simon's health insurance company, replacing various nouns ... before being escorted off the premises ...

Grayscale image of a Black woman vampire in the foreground, sitting on the ledging of something in an old timey shirt with ruffles and a long skirt and knee-high boots with laces. Her eyes are glowing red. Behind her there's a red-headed man who's also a vampire. The woman's red eyes and the man's orange-red hair are the only color elements in the image. This is a promotional image for the novella THE HOWLING TWENTIES by Fennel Steuert, available on Kindle. Art is by the great artist Catatune.

Evie's been back from a respite in a pocket dimension for a while. Her P.I. father dying during the time away totally helps her forget how much she enjoyed the escape - and the hooking up with that dimension's spirit king. Now trapped in a flask in her basement, the spirit king plots its own escape.
Image shows the cover of the novel MAGIC FLASK by Fennel Steuert on a tablet, a smartphone, and the back cover of its trade paperback edition. Cover features a checkered dark and light gray/green gradient with a light blue flask in the center. A brown-skinned woman is phasing through the flask as a shadowy silhouette wraps its arms around her. She's holding a small flask.

I like the company here so who cares if it goes any higher.

mage from Amazon's book rankings which features Magic Flask by Fennel Steuert on the left and An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon on the right. Magic Flask has a black cover with a blue flask and a sorta punk-dressed young woman of color phasing out of the flask with a shadow being holding her. She's holding a smaller flask. The cover on the right features a stern face the same blue-grayish color as the rest of the cover.

I’d met Jack at a coffee shop. I’d been sitting there long enough for him to wander over after he got shot down by some statuesque blonde.
... It just made me want him to call into public radio all the more.

If you see this, post a vampire and pass it on.
Pictured here is illustration of Doris from LATE NIGHT PARTNERS and THE HOWLING TWENTIES novellas by myself. Art by @catatune.bsky.social.
Black and white inked illustration features Doris, a twentysomething-appearing vampire with dredlocs. Here she tiredly rests her head on table, as her fangs protrude. A yellow flower (the only color element beyond black and white) rests at the crown of her head. Character is from the The Doris Cycle novellas available on Kindle. Art is by @catatune.bsky.social.

TBR: 'Evie MacColl is quite the lead character. She’s simultaneously compelling and off-putting in a way that makes it clear she’s doing it purposefully. I immediately fell in love with her confidence.'

A black and white-inked illustration of a young mixed-race Black woman (in her late 20s) laying on her bed in an oversized shirt. She's looking away from her smartphone. In the bottom right of the image is the title of a book, MAGIC FLASK, in which she's the main character. Text notes the book is available on Amazon and from brick and mortar booksellers through Ingram. In the top right corner, it says 18+ to let people know it's for mature readers.

The main character in MAGIC FLASK would roll her eyes at Drynuary, but mostly the name - not the concept.

#Drynuary #magicflask #books
Cover of MAGIC FLASK trade paperback novel by Fennel Steuert on someone's very cool rock-like surface table. MAGIC FLASK title is just under illustration of a young brown-skinned woman who is holding a flask as a shadow-like being pulls her into a bigger version of the one she's holding.

Your charisma is so hard-won, you know flaunting it only seems winsome..till you hurt someone who only seems like less for the lack of a pedestal, a stage, a light.
Everyone's always looking up so much, you're beginning to think looking eye to eye-level's futile.

Since there's no need for hashtags on this beautiful, almost utopian Blue Sky, let me just write books and, um, NPR (gotta read the book) and grief and magic flasks are better than real ones for you (in the long run).
