I recently finished book 2 of the Winternight Trilogy. There may be spoilers, but if you've read book 1, you should be fine. #booksky miksasworld.wordpress.com/2025/03/30/m...
My Review of The Girl in the Tower, Book Two of the Winternight Trilogy
There may be spoilers – We first met Vasya as a child of 14 in The Bear and the Nightingale, but in The Girl in the Tower, she has grown into a young woman of 17. I’ve been surprised by the n…

How is it that I'm just hearing about "Cozy Fantasy" now? What a revelation! I've been trying to "shoe horn" my novelette into "Low Fantasy" and it's a perfect fit for 'Cozy'. Nothing even on Wikipedia! #booksky #cozyfantasy #stilllearning

In the writing world, A.I. sometimes stands for "Argument Imminent" So let's take a breather and sing the praises of the human eyes of an editor! #booksky #authors #writing

Essential Editing Tools: Why You Need a Human Editor

Through ghostly reflections of the hospital window, a solitary figure waits as the last bit of release paperwork is completed. Though, this time, he would leave without ringing the bell.

This may seem obvious to some, but here's a tip based on recent conversations I've had with people who love to read. You do NOT need a Kindle to read "ebooks", there is an app for phone and computer. Nook has an app as well.

The apps are free.

If we released a list of all the companies that supported Trump and Project 2025 during the election, would you consider boycotting them all?

Follow us and repost if you would. 💪

What a treat to block a right wing troll. It's snowing in the Midwest, but I'm enjoying the Bluesky. 💙🦋

This is Chewey. He is in a food coma from epic scrap snarffing activities. The squirrels and opossums are safe for the next 45 minutes. #dogpics

This is Chewey. He has been banished from the kitchen during Thanksgiving food prep. He is not grateful. Not grateful at all. #dogpics

This is Chewey getting his Kong treat with Dentix at 5:06pm. 6 FULL MINUTES LATE. He just opened an account on X. I may be in trouble.

This is Chewey. He just had lunch. He's mad because I just put the ham for Thanksgiving on the stove and not on the floor. Please don't call Sara McLachlan or the A.S.P.C.A.

This is Chewey. He followed me all day while I smoked a turkey. He hasn't had a bite of it. He ate his dinner and got his Kong treat with his favorite dentix. He has asked three other families to adopt him away from the hell he is living.
