Happy winter solstice ✨
A large tree covered in snow, at the beginning of magic hour when the light is just turning pink and gold A snowy bank where a Japanese maple tree is covered in snow, each branch coated like the snow is icing; in the background, more snowy trees and the beginnings of a sunset in the sky

My very first book ever (🥺) is now out in the world.

Get it from your favorite digital store here: books2read.com/u/bxlNjP
A dark blue book cover floating on top of a smoky blue background; the book title, "To Break Such a Bond", is written in large letters in pale blue, and the author's name "Mallory Wilde" is in the same color in smaller letters at the bottom; a hand is reaching across the cover, and a shimmering white ribbon is looped around the wrist, with the rest of the ribbon falling down to wind through the letters of "Bond", and the end of the ribbon is stained with and dripping a drop of blood Glowing white text on a smoky dark read background: "1980s, London Val has spent decades carefully controlling his desires – the desire for blood, and for human connection. The past has taught him that indulging in one will lead to losing control over the other, and he can’t let himself hurt anyone else. So he stays in the shadows, the world slipping by as he watches – until the day Margot strikes up a conversation with him. He becomes attached to her before he can stop himself, and in a moment of weakness he invokes magic that binds them together – the supposedly eternal, unbreakable kind of bond. Finding a way to release Margot from the bond means reestablishing ties with vampire society that he’d long ago severed and risking the solitude he’s come to see as his salvation – not to mention trying to explain all of this to a human who thought she was just engaging in a little flirtatious banter. But Val won’t let his own foolishness ruin Margot’s life, even if that means he has to do the one thing he fears the most – letting someone else into his world." Glowing white text on a smoky dark read background: "Vampires can be very persuasive. If they want something, they usually get it, one way or another.” “And you?” He frowned. “What about me?” “What do you want, Val?” It felt like a test. He desperately wanted to pass, but he had no idea what the right answer was. So he settled for the safest true thing he could say. “I want to get rid of this bond, so we both can move on.” She sat back in her chair, arms crossed again. She seemed to do that almost subconsciously when she was contemplating something. Finally she nodded, stood up, and put the lid on the ice cream carton. “Okay,” she said. “Let’s take a vampire road trip.”

Val is lonely and having a very bad day.
A screenshot of the following text: He slumped against the wall and slid down to sit on the floor, giving himself up to his morose mood. Tomorrow he would figure this out; tonight, he wasn’t prepared to do more than regret his entire existence. Somewhere not far away, thunder clapped. The sky had been threatening a storm on his way home earlier, and now in the depths of night it made good on the threat. Rain followed soon after the thunder, sheets of it breaking against the house, pummeling the window in waves. The force of it felt like a relief, like his life and all his stupid choices and their consequences could be swallowed up by the storm. He pushed himself up and went to the window, watching for a long time as the sky repeatedly cracked open and then returned to itself, and the rain threatened to flood the garden. It finally began to abate, and he shook himself from his trance, wondering how long he’d stood there. He often lost time in moments like that. He preferred it, honestly - to come untethered from the world. To let time slip past with no consequences, because he had no ties to anything that time could take. Except now you do, a voice in his head whispered, and all the calm he’d found in the storm deserted him once again. He sighed, and felt a spike of hunger. He wasn’t in the mood, but it would be bad to ignore it. This was part of how he kept things under control – careful, measured care of his needs. No chance for anything inside him to get desperate.

Today's fight against the darkness is sponsored by Frog and ORC

(my skyline did this all on its own)
A screenshot of two BlueSky posts; the first one is by Orcspiration, which says "HANG UP YOUR GREATSWORD, TODAY YOU WILL BATTLE LOW SELF-ESTEEM. AND YOU WILL WIN."; the second one is by Frog and Toad Bot, which says "I saw the sun coming out, said Frog. I saw birds sitting and singing in a tree. I saw my mother and father working in their garden. I saw flowers in the garden."
