This week's Saturday snippet is from Snowspelled, my frothy feminist romantasy novella. ❄️❤️❄️

Snap up the ebook or paperback here: books2read.com/snowspelled
With his annoyingly long legs, Wrexham had no difficulty keeping up, but at least he couldn’t grasp my elbow to stop me with both of his arms full of thickly piled coat. “Harwood—!” he began, in a near-snarl.
“Ah, there you are!” Someone far more frightening stood before us: my sweet, smiling sister-in-law, waiting for me in the open archway between me and the rest of the house. Her bright gaze moved from me to my ex-fiancé. Her eyebrows rose. Her mouth dropped open to form an “O” of delight that filled me with instant and overwhelming dread.
“No!” I said hastily. “No, we haven’t reconciled. And we’re certainly not going to! In point of fact, I can’t even speak to anyone at all anymore. I’m—I’m terribly, terribly tired. From my exertions. I think I need a nap.”
“Cowardly, Harwood,” Wrexham muttered. “An unworthy move.”

Ahhhh I really love this (by @ginnydi.bsky.social ):
A tiny dragon stands on a horde of gold, looking into a mirror. The text reads: Smaug's Daily Affirmations. The dragon says to himself: "I am fire. I am death!"

So, I'd kinda like to use Bluesky instead of Twitter, but I've got 37,000 followers over there, and after a year here I've got 802 followers...

Any of my readers on this platform?

MAPLECROFT is only $1.99 on Kindle this week! High pitch: an feminist epistolary about Lizzie Borden inspired by DRACULA. Low pitch: Lizzie Borden fights Cthulhu with an axe. This one's a personal favorite of mine; I'm very proud of it, and hope you'll enjoy it: www.amazon.com/Maplecroft-B...

And a quick reminder that for one more day, you can snap up my frothy feminist romantasy novella Snowspelled (full of elves, trolls, interfering family members, and an infuriatingly attractive ex-fiancé) for just 99c/99p as part of this group sale: books.bookfunnel.com/FightthePatr...
The cover of Snowspelled, by Stephanie Burgis, shows a young woman in Regency-style clothing under a long and gorgeous coat holding a lantern amidst swirling, magical snow.
