I make a living writing science fiction and fantasy. Mostly fantasy. It's been said I've never met a trope I didn't skewer. I'm good with that. Also, there's cats. And knitting. she/her

Today's word is JAM. Today's #BookQW from INTO THE BROKEN LANDS, a created world fantasy were, given themes of power dynamics & what it means to be human, you wouldn't expect fruity/sugary goodness to occur. But JAM is also a verb.

HC, pb, digital, & audio at usual suspects. Shop indie if you can.
Broken Lands digital cover on the upper left, original DAW cover on the upper right. There are tentacles. These days, there's always tentacles. It's become a thing. The damp cloth over his elbows provided traction against the polished wooden floor. He rammed the toes of his boots against the wall beneath the lowest carvings, and pushed himself forward. Almost ... Then he cracked his head on the ceiling. The walls moved in closer. Rocking from side to side to free himself, he jammed himself in tighter. His breath misted against the floor and he wasted a moment wondering who'd been polishing the wood for the last hundred and sixty-three years.

Honestly, Ontario banning speed cameras and most bike lanes is a pretty big blow to urbanist optimism in Canada.

The province is 40% of Canada’s population!

The good news is that the recent rain has saturated the soil and the water level in our well is rising. The bad news is knowing this because we've hit the first sulphur pocket.

The trick is making the tea strong enough you can't taste the sulphur.

Book Quote Wednesday's word is 'girl' #BookQW
Dan Mackmain's a strong and silent bloke most of the time so he's learned to be very grateful that women talk to each other.
The Green Man's Holiday is now available from your preferred retailer. Contemporary fantasy rooted in British myths and folklore.
Cover art by Ben Baldwin shows a creature crouching in a low tunnel entrance lined with grey stones and partly hidden by green undergrowth and white flowers. The creature has pale skin covered in sparse black hair and it looks a bit like an ape, a bit like a bear, and completely unlike either of those. Book extract reads: ‘Do you know if the pub does food?’ She pointed across the village green. ‘The George and Dragon?’ One of the other two replied, ‘I don’t think the dining room will be open, not this evening. The police are using it.’ ‘Really?’ Fin managed to sound suitably startled. ‘Why?’ The first girl looked disappointed. ‘You haven’t heard?’ ‘We’re on holiday,’ Fin apologised. ‘We only arrived this afternoon.’ ‘Someone snatched a baby from a house at the other end of the village.’ The second girl jerked her head, indicating the main road behind us. ‘It’s all right though,’ the third girl said quickly. ‘They’ve found her. She’s back home with her mum and dad.’ The local social networks were impressively quick if they already had that news. How soon would word spread that Fin and I were somehow involved? Other people in Pigeon Lane must have seen the police cars arrive, and the coppers talking to us. They’d have seen the screaming baby being carried out of the cottage. How long before someone shared what we looked like or posted a photo? We’d be instantly recognisable in a place this small.

Today's word is GIRL. Today's #BookQW from Direct Descendant (@dawbooks.bsky.social 2025) a cozy horror set in Northern Ontario, where the baked goods are French and the eldritch horrors are cuddly. Well, some of the baked goods. Actually, now I think of it, only some of the eldritch horrors...
Cover of Direct Descendant with bakery, birches, and tentacles in the lower left. "Your words have no power over me, Cassidy Prewitt." The other woman had positioned Melanie in front of her like a shield. I could see her hand and the knife and little else. "If you try to breach my mystical defenses, I will slit this girl's throat." "Mystical defenses? Seriously?" asked Amanda behind me. "Girl?" asked the teen with the drone. "Rude. She's like thirty.'

Today's word is COLOR. Today's quote from the new ebook edition of SUMMON THE KEEPER, a 1998 contemporary fantasy about people who close the holes between worlds and the cats who have to keep reminding them that the food bowl is empty. There's no point in saving the world if the cat is starving.
The cover of the new ebook edition is the background, the tower and tentacles and Austin, a black and white cat, the two clearly visible pieces. The DAW cover for the COMPLETE KEEPER CHRONICLES, all three books in trade paperback and sometimes still available, is in the middle right. The new cover wrapped with caution tape is on the lower right. When Austin refused to answer, Claire decided she'd won, tossed off her clothes, and got into a pair of cream-colored silk pajamas- standard operating procedure suggested night clothes suitable for appearing on the six o'clock news. Just in case.

Nameless Land cover. It does give a bit of "Oz" vibes, doesn't it?

This series needs to get a lot more attention. I loved it. Krista even made the politics enthralling, and usually, I run screaming from politics. At least two of the characters have been living rent-free in my head for the last three years.

It's the last day of the 99p Kindle ebook deal for The Green Man's War. Don't miss out - especially if you want to catch up with Dan's adventures before embarking on The Green Man's Holiday which keen readers are already enjoying. You could get both for under six quid, just saying 😁

I just got my first "I love your book, let me help you market it" email. If I can just get "your grandchild was in an accident" I'll have bingo.

No grandchild because that would have required a child, but bingo.
