SFF books for overthinkers & romantics.
"Surprisingly tense?"
Well, thank you very much :)
Well, thank you very much :)
Not my usual genre, but I enjoyed @rebeccamzornow.bsky.social's new romantasy novella "Landsome Roads" a lot! It's meta, it's funny, it's surprisingly tense, and it includes great moments like the heroine explaining cosmology in a magical, medieval setting.

It's been so long since I've logged into Bluesky that I saw this story and thought, OMG, the exact same thing happened to me!
...it's my own post, folks 🫠

I bought a book from my library for $1. I took it home, thinking I'd read it soon. It's only 200 pages.
THREE YEARS later, I finally cracked it open and read it in an afternoon. It was a lovely sci-fi story.

The week between Christmas and New Years is for laying on the couch eating leftover sugar cookies, mulling over every decision you've ever made.

I built the outline for my newest novel using a workbook Nicole and I designed over at Conquer Books.
We shared how we created the Building a Story workbook here: www.conquerbooks.com/behind-the-s...

I started sealing my letters with wax and now each one feels as if it contains the gossip of the court, a negotiation for peace, or a plea to my wealthy aunt who is all I have left in the world and who really must advance me my allowance so I can afford a steamship to the Americas.

I'm still new here, so taking some time to introduce myself.
My debut was a classic first contact story: Aliens invade. We lose. Solder flees to the Rocky Mountains where she finds an isolated group of people who don't even know we've been invaded, but are harboring a dark secret.

I'm following The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron and this week's chapter discusses using work to avoid creativity. "I'm working" can be an excuse for so much. We can pretend we're busy, give ourselves a reason to avoid the fear that comes with creating art and exploring new self-expression.

Here's my office on a perfect, clean day.
The desk was a hotel leftover, the tapestry came from a thrift store outlet, and the stained glass lamp was in a Facebook buy nothing group. I think there's a certain beauty in seeing what joins you along the way.

New to Bluesky 👻
I write science fiction and book coach with Conquer Books. I just finished rereading Lore Olympus and am debating whether to dive into a 1977 edition of The Shining I got for two bucks.
