In a *completely* different universe I'd have the skills and time to make a 2D game based on my first Bone Mask book, 'City of Masks' :D
I can no longer locate the artist who created this and other sprites for me, which sucks

When even the ties of blood become shackles, the only way to break free may cost everything. Vasushena was marked for death from the moment he was born, for reasons he doesn't know. Being saved as a baby by a Suta couple who raised him as their own, he longed to be a warrior instead of a charioteer. But in the rigidly casteist society of Aryavarta, a Suta seeking to rise above his station was a challenge to orthodoxy that could never be tolerated.

The nothing-ness of Netflix and what the latest acquisition will likely do to film and tv has one silver lining for me - it will make it easier for me to catch up on the history of cinema from so many different countries/languages :)

Often, when I think about how I need to write better books, it's almost an *angry* need. Just bristling with impatience over here, lol.

Here's all six PNW fern watercolors I did for the sticker set. I'm really happy with how they all came out, and I think they make really cute little pieces!
The originals are painted all around 2.25 to 4.25 inches give or take a half inch. I have 3 of the originals left

Since I started working as Ureterocele, I’ve just had my first interview. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to @poolplants.bsky.social for kindly changing it to a text-based interview for me because I can’t speak English. Thank you so much!:) If you’re interested, please check it out!
Out now, an interview with @ureterocele.bsky.social ! I've enjoyed both the music and the posts for a while now and it was really great to talk to him and learn more about his musical background and recording process.

November has been another 'worst month in a while' for sales when I look at regular channels.
HOWEVER if I count the Backerkit campaign (and I will XD), it was a great month.
Clearly, me switching my focus away from my regular promo stuff is one factor in this result. Equally, being

Too many folks to thank - I think I'd better do that tomorrow :D
Now, I gotta get some sleep. While I'm sleeping, if you see this, check out the campaign link below for:

* found family
* lost dragons
* harrowing adventure
Perfect for fans of D&D, I reckon :D

So, why pledge before the deadine?
Well:
1: Get exclusive campaign rewards;
2: Get paperbacks cheaper than retail; and
3: Get Dark Fang (Book 3) before everyone else (as in, before non-backers and before retailers :D)

This is on my mind. I have seen projects fund in 16 hours. This has dragged for 9 months, which boggles my mind. And it's only 5k?
What? Sorry, I can't math. This doesn't make sense. It should have been funded in 9 hours.
