I had the pleasure of winning a signed copy of this book last year. It's still on my TBR (had to read Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn first...not to mention some other books...) but I expect to sink my teeth into the entirety of "Last King of Osten Ard" in the new year. Can't wait. <3

FWIW, people are always going to make comments but, in my experience, it's not so much about you or your writing rather than projection on the part of the commentor. From my experience with RP communities, jealousy often plays a part on it. Try not to let those comments get you down!

Pretty indeed!

Those are the last things I'd want to delete!

Oh wow, yeah that makes it tough. I've never had to deal with that, so I don't have any good advice to offer. I hope it goes well. And worse comes to worse, pizza slices freeze well, so thst could be an option if you end up with too much food because ppl commit and then don't show.

I've always kept my kid's birthday parties to a small handful of friends and have had some good success with attendance!

Ridcully is perfect!

Truth! My smart ring tells me my heart rate is as high now as it was during my HIIT workout earlier.

I can't wait for it - instant preorder for me as soon as it's available on Amazon Canada. <3

Your elf addiction gives me life! <3 Thank you for sharing your characters and creativity with us all these years. As for who I would want drawn if I am lucky enough to win...my viera, Achlys:

I have yet to figure out how to reach a human there. And like you, I've repeated multiple posts for clear use of slurs and their automated system just tells me no rules were broken. :/

My god yeah, same. I have to catch myself all the time - I sometimes refer to my youngest employee as a "good kid", but he's like 25 lol

@esmeweatherwax8.bsky.social Holy hell, I'm out in my gazebo right now and just saw a hummingbird visit my feeder!
