Did you know?
Dirt You Shall Become is available in paperback as well. It’s pretty and not too expensive.

Wanna read some creepy stories from the garden? Where the weeds are as obsessed with you as you are with them?

I am a poet as well. Yes, the two are complements and I try to do some of each every week.
Prose writers of #pretendpanel (since that's most of you who respond to these prompts)...

19th July: Are any of you poets as well? Or have you not touched the stuff since school? Does it inform your prose at all?

Life has interrupted my writing. But I wrote a poem last night! Looking for a great, productive summer!

#fantasyindiesapril 16 and 17. Fun fact Inigo spends the entire story being alternately surprised and scared. Improve? Definitely my consistency.

#fantasyindiesapril 14. Castle Walls by Styx. Inigo is "far beyond the castle walls"
April 14, 2025 at 7:15 PM
#fantasyindiesapril 13. Inigo had a childhood at court. Well-educated and privileged he has no business being in the Endless Swamp - except that to go back would mean prison, or worse.

#fantasyindiesapril 12. "You've been bit by a kuju fly," she saud, hands reaching to gently touch my face.
"Is it bad? Am I going to die!"
She laughed. "By the gods your are one for the dramatic! No, you won't die."
From the Adventures of Inigo Lampon. Inigo has been bitten.

Day 11: My early stories

I wrote lots of short stories in primary and high school, many were contemporary and set in South Africa. In college: a graphic novel called The Lunar Born, and Norse Myth retellings.
#FantasyIndiesMarch @chesneyinfalt.bsky.social @lvrussell.bsky.social
Day 3: Reading Genres

Sci-fi, fantasy (from epic to contemporary), mystery, historical fiction. I can handle gratuitous violence or steamy scenes in moderation, but I don't actively look for them.

#fantasyindiesapril 11. I started writing stories almost as soon as I could form the letters. By 9 or 10 I had my own newspaper - with two subscribers, my mom and my dad.
April 11, 2025 at 6:26 PM
#fantasyindiesapril 10. Exploration. The entire Inigo saga is one of exploration. Think of Inigo as a kind of inept Marco Polo who is fortunate and funny and terrified by turns.
April 9, 2025 at 1:03 PM
#fantasyindiesapril 9 Inigo takes for granted that things will always work out. He never articulates this. Pira, Fark, and Lammon all think they are in control. (Spoiler - they're not).
April 8, 2025 at 1:22 PM
#fantasyindiesapril 8. Rarely. But sometimes forvthose books I really enjoyed a long time ago.
April 7, 2025 at 3:01 PM
#fantasyindiesapril 7. In the Adventures of Inigo Lampon there are vicious animals called niks which hunt in packs and have "a body resembling a big rat but the head and neck resemblibg a snake."
