I have recently read an ARC of this book and enjoyed it immensely! #BookSky #fantasy

If you love expansive fantasy worlds that feel like classic fantasy but are unique and fresh, and loveable characters fighting with loyalty and love against the gathering darkness, you will love this! 💜

In just 1 week my debut novel will be officially out in the world 🫨 It’s so hard to believe I wrote a book that people can actually read.

The paperback for Songs of Broken bells with a backdrop of a brick wall. There are bells on ribbons hanging next to the book.
Glowing text says Releases in 1 week!
To the right of the book there it’s text that says

"This is an easy recommend for folks looking for rich, queer-normative worlds with lots of diversity and world building, cozy-but-not-cozy fantasy, and lighter romance/friendship subplots that aren't the central focus."
-ARC reader

Today's song was a fun challenge for me. I had to actually stop, think, and come up with the idea. What you see here is a story that required interpretation but became something fascinating, at least to me. Please enjoy...Ruby With the Sharpest Lies.

A box of paperbacks arrived at my house yesterday. If I get to 20 preorders (the halfway point to what I got with A Necromancer Called Gam Gam), then I'll do a giveaway!

I remember it, but it's also only been like 2.5 years for me 😅 I haven't done anything to celebrate it though, might have commented one year later on how it did, but I don't think I did anything this year to celebrate the two year anniversary.

Watch this space.

In the coming months a few things will be happening, including the release of my second Twisted Retelling: Death Like Sleep at the beginning of 2026.

Something exciting is coming for ReBirth.

Carissa Broadbent has traveled from indie darling to romantasy superstar. With nine books across multiple series, you may be wondering where to start (and which books are right for you). Here's our comprehensive reading guide:

Today's song hits differently, I think. Sometimes you want something thought-provoking or gross. Sometimes, though, something unrelentingly bleak is fun. This is the latter. Please enjoy, if you can...Run Runaway.

I referred to the kitchen as *my* room and Sarah tried to argue, but I told her that I do most of the cooking, and I organize everything. She just comes in and destroys it.

She refuted, but less than 12 hours later, I've found an air fryer basket in the lids drawer and her arguments crumbled away.
