Since we're having a spell of a winter weather over here, today I'm sharing a themed image. It's a mix of non-realistic 3d render and 2d postwork, and it was my first foray into those techniques.

Now until the end of my days I'll be able to say, "I was the chosen one," of course conveniently omitting that it was the random wheel of fate that chose me, and I didn't save the world... Hmm... a story idea?

Hey #weaintbuyingit folks: My books are available worldwide through other stores (and libraries) besides Amazon, but Amazon has made up 95% of my sales (and the runner up is @queerliblib.bsky.social 💙)
When boycott waves happen, I haven't seen uptick in Kobo or B&N - I just see drops in all sales.

There are hundreds of reasons why I married my husband, but the fact that in the last weeks he'd made phone calls for me so that I don't have to would be a reason to marry him again.
He does all the things that I don't enjoy doing. Except for working out. That's still on me. :)

Never forget you can get all of my books through a Kobo Plus subscription! And there's a -lot- of them, too, if you're the type of reader who loves to dig into a series all in a row.

I actually had to go to a dictionary today, because it's the second time I've seen someone from indie publishing use the word "detrimental" as if it meant something positive ("crucial," "important," etc.), and I was starting to doubt myself.
But no, the dictionary sides with me.

I did not have my chair breaking in my bingo card for this week.
Given, it's some 7 years old, with some 14h/day use, and it survived at least 3 apartment moves, but... I just don't want to be shopping for a new chair right now. Or, really, ever. Everything seems expensive but cheaply made.

Today, I'm sharing an image that became an illustration for Memories of Sorcery and Sand. While this standalone fantasy isn't a romance, one of its themes is falling in love at possibly the worst time and with the wrong person, with a relationship built on lies and deception.

When two archers who fought in the opposing sides of the war meet, it might not be the best idea for that meeting to take place in your home...
It's like stepping on eggshells times two for Kaja.
