Apropos of nothing, there's a brutal tyrant with dark magic in my book who insists his methods are going to make Arcania great, and who wants to expand his empire into our world. He turns children into birds to terrify the population and keep the people in line. #booksky

Women’s illness/pain has historically been brushed off, ridiculed & vilified (in art/literature think of the monstrous bent hags with gnarly fingers). Still often invisible, we manage chronic illness under a heavy history of that misogyny. My novel, Sycorax, is dedicated to unwell women. #Sycorax
