He’s ancient. Cursed. And long past caring.
But she isn’t.

And that might be his undoing.

Book marketing image.

On the left, a dark spooky scene with a brown wash over the colours of barren trees and the moon shining through a misty sky. The Blood Runner book cover appears on a paperback book, a tablet, and a smartphone over top of it. On the right, a quote from the book:

"I continued to let her have the soft voice in the dark. It was the only soft thing about me and all I could offer. 'You're not afraid of me.'

'No, Richard.' Her hand moved to splay her fingers over my lips, to feel the voice she couldn't see.

'Like a wolf with a sheep, girl. You should be.'"

Growing old(er) has its moments . . . Like when swimming no longer comes as naturally as, say, riding a bike! #humanlife #writing

Like riding a bike - a reflection on swimming and age - Anna Belfrage

I grew up with a mother who loved to swim. As a young girl she’d swum competitively, and like most good Swedish swimmers, she had a collection of swim badges. Some of those badges merely required swim...

I have really enjoyed the Embervein series by @cozyote.bsky.social. Just finished the Ember Bones duology, and loved the characters, esp. MC Grim who’s shy interiority and strange magic is totally endearing. I find that I love ‘cozy village monster’ fantasy genre, with a gothic vibe imho.
