Found a millipede at the bowling alley this morning. These cuties are what a certain critter in The Vessel's Blood was based upon. Just a lil bit bigger...

Finished Wyrd Sisters yesterday. Absolutely loved it. The witches are all so endearing, Granny especially! Next up, it's volume 3 of Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation. We're going one volume a year it looks like lol

Cleaning up my desk this morning. Trying to conquer the cat fuzz. I might be losing that battle, but at least I found my Hygogg's missing thumb.

This sour-faced shot of Vulfrey in black and silver has been part of my promo art for Belarythm’s Branches since well before book 1 released, but the scene itself is actually from book 2, Vivisection of Faith! What deeper meaning does it have? Where is he? Well, you’ll have to read it to find out😉

I do lots of artsy fartsy stuff outside of writing (and drawing). One of my favorites being making random junk with plastic canvas. Little picture frames, boxes, and the like. I buy yarn like I buy books, way more than I’ll ever need 😅

I never did post a picture of this finished. Lego Rivendell. I underestimated how big this girl is, I was hoping to keep it in one section of my bookshelf, but had to split it up. Still looks good though 💚

That's two books for 2025, gonna dive into one of the Pratchett books I got recently next. Witches! Maybe if I keep at it, I can fix these terrible numbers 😄

The cast of my Belarythm’s Branches on artist trading cards. There’s profiles for everyone up on my website if you’re keen to see ‘em with a dab of color(and also a couple extra). Though I still need to get off the ass and do the new folk from book 2…

One of the side projects I’ve been working on is an expanded version of Old Toadie’s Magical Trinkets and Curiosities! The original is a comedic/erotic mm fantasy novelette, but I wanted to expand it into a more novel-length cozy fantasy(albeit no less spicy).

Late last year I started collecting Terry Pratchett's books, just picking up a hardback here and there when I came across them in thrift stores. Anyhow, yesterday I found a motherlode lol. Thank you whoever traded all these in.

Oh, lemme share these too. Little artist card portraits I drew of Owen and Colt when I started the series last year.

Finally finished reading A Legend of Shadow and Light by Jordan Lee. My first read of the year(what can I say, video games 😅), and a great end to a lovely series. Highly recommended. If you've enjoyed Belarythm's Branches, or just mm fantasy in general, you'll probably like this too.
