Re-introduction for new followers!

Hey there, I'm Heiner de Wendt and I write high fantasy stories. Currently working on my debut novel! My characters face monsters and magic as much as themselves.

My stories are set in Braythe, a universe that I also published as a TTRPG setting.

A thief who survived the apocalypse. His greatest enemy: His cruel brother who has recently reappeared.

Wanna learn more about Arkan & his “harmonious“ family? I plan to release my novel in October or November, but I’m already spilling some tea in my newsletter! (Mostly spoiler-free, of course.)

This Trans Day of Visibility, what I want most of all is for trans people to be allowed to be self-centred in the best possible meaning of that term:

- To centre our survival
- To centre our material needs
- To centre our emotional needs
- To centre our souls, our dreams, our reasons for living

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility!

You are seen. You are heard. You are loved. Everyone should continue to fight for the freedom to be who we are.

I recently shared the artwork of all my three protagonists in my newsletter as an exclusive sneak-peak.

So I figured, I can at least show the main character’s art to the general public now! *drumroll*

Meet Arkan, the ashfolk thief!

Book release in late 2025 😁

It's so easy to lose hope when you read news headlines and hear combative commentary. That is why books are so important. They are windows to worlds unseen and realities yet to be created.

And people are READING. They're reading a lot. A very very hopeful sign. #librarysky #booksky

You know how in some wars, there's the side who says, "War has rules, we line up with our horses, point our guns, and fire at the same time," and then there's the other side that runs out of the trees with rusty knives and they start stabbing the fucking horses? The Democrats are the first group.

A team of archivists has recreated the pre-Trump CDC website as a live, easy-to-navigate website that should be indexed by Google. The team is hosting it in Europe. Cool project that is sadly necessary:

The team used a Reddit-made archive of the CDC website to create a new live mirror of the site before it was purged.

Democrats should have either skipped the shitshow entirely or gone and heckled the fuck out of this parade of lies and insults.

This? Kinda pathetic.
