So the car's charger went up in smoke, tripped the breaker, and my desktop clicked off-- which was odd because it was plugged into a backup battery. That ended up toasted.

Better the battery, than the desktop.

Congratulations to Justin Crosby (D) on his election victory in Mississippi CD22 — he flipped the newly redrawn seat by defeating the incumbent with approximately 53 % of the vote.

This win is part of a broader shift after court-ordered map revisions aimed at increasing majority-Black districts.

Dragons
Dragons are sentient, four-legged winged predators of immense size and power. Driven by a deep territorial instinct and a lost sense of purpose, they amass vast hoards and fiercely defend their domain...

Huge news: Beyond The Mark is FREE on Amazon Dec 1-5. 🎄

I write because I love the world and the characters, not the money. If you claim a free copy, spreading the word so others can too would help more than you know.

#Booksky #Freebooks #Kindle
#Fantasy
A stylized cover art for the book titled "Beyond the Mark: Ashes of the Hero," featuring a silhouette of a cloaked figure in a dark, magical forest. The figure, shrouded in shadow, is holding a glowing sword with a vibrant red hue. Intricate patterns adorn the figure's cloak, evoking a sense of mystery and fantasy. The background showcases an eerie forest with bare, twisted trees and ethereal lights, creating a mystical and foreboding atmosphere. In the distance, a castle with spires looms against a pale, glowing sky, adding a sense of adventure and danger to the scene. The title is prominently displayed at the top in bold, stylized lettering, with a vivid gradient effect that contrasts with the darker tones of the artwork. The overall composition conveys themes of heroism, darkness, and a journey into the unknown.

this month I also cooked up a brand new cover image for my million-word science fantasy worldbuilding project, the Yonderverse! super happy with this and I think I'm finally settling with this cover image, i've gone through many iterations but this one is *chef's kiss* 🥰 #art #worldbuilding
A landscape drawing of a black hole, with all the colours of the rainbow around it. In the background are magical patterns and squiggles, fading out closer to the black hole. Around the edge are purple and blue star clusters. Drawn for a worldbuilding project, the Yonderverse. 🔗https://www.worldanvil.com/w/yonderverse
