I published my second book! It's the sequel to "The Hole Story", and follows Miro and Zarando as they, once again, make less-than-ideal decisions. Contains exactly one scene where a cat goes "Mrow"! Find out more at linktr.ee/wietskewrites

In the middle is a non-binary person with a white tuft in their hair. They are labeled 'Miro'. Below them is the text "Creator of Miro's notebook" and "Gives out their address to strangers". On the right is a dark-haired man with a beard. He is labeled Queros. The text below him says "Will insult you while saving you" and "Tired of everyone's crap". In the bottom right corner is a book labeled 'prequel'. Text 'The Banished God" floats above a purple lizard with a book on its head.

I'm so proud of this one. Look at it! Look at him! He's so precious
Queros sits cross-legged in front of a window. He is clutching a mug of hot cocoa. The view through the window is snowy. The background consists of snowflakes.

If anyone knows what I meant by this, please hit me up, I'm stumped

Text that reads: "Miro only looked at him, a look laden with salt and exhaustion and fear. And Queros shook his head, turning the corner to Jicin's house." The word 'salt' is underlined and highlighted.

💜If you see this, post your purple art💜

Apparently purple means Taeri. I love that.

A man with short brown hair and a man with ginger braids sit closely together on a tower, their backs towards the viewer. They are watching a night sky, swirling with blue, pink, and purple. A man with short brown hair and freckles turns his head towards the viewer, smiling. He is wearing a purple sweater.

Ordered the first hardcover proofcopy of 'the banished god', so excited! I've adjusted the cover like a million times so I hope I'll love it once I'm seeing it in print

Markí - born to be a poet, stuck as bartender at the town's inn. Their favourite place to write poetry is at Tsuka's old temple, or what remains of it - the temple has fallen to ruin since the God Regnant outlawed 'false' gods. Markí doesn't mind - there's a kind of beauty in the ruins, isn't there?

It's Queros! He's a squad leader in Bavinko, and loves ranting about friends and teamwork. In his free time, he can be found stargazing on top of the city walls, or drinking in the Heartsbrook inn.
His favourite colour is purple.
