Now that I've become a published author myself, I want to shout out one of my literary hero's.
@garthnix.bsky.social is a legend and Lireal remains one of my all time favorite novels. He was so inspiring and kind in person when I was able to do a work shop with him.

Went to the markets today with Bub and dog. We had a wonderful time even though Bub kept trying to steal toys from the vendors and dog kept trying to steal food.
I’m raising a couple of thieves.

THE HONORABLE CON out September 3rd 2025.
Ailyanna was one good con away from her ticket East and escape from the looming war, and instead she’s locked in the palace dungeon staring at a lifetime sentence. You scam one prince and suddenly you’re the captain of the constable’s personal obsession.

Working in my first character design for Art Fight.
My skills aren’t were I’d like them to be, all my time goes into writing these days, but hopefully July will be a good chance to improve.

The physical copies from Ingram arrived today, I still want to tweak the map to make it more readable in black and white but I love it. Such an improvement over the accidental textbook vibes of the Amazon print.
