I am stupidly obsessed with my cat's markings. Not only is she a lucky one-eyed beauty, she's got this skull-lookin' pattern on the back of her neck! She's my little pirate wench and I love her. ❤️ Now if she'd sit on my notebooks less often, we'd be golden...

There's an easter egg in this picture, and his name is Reginald....

WDYM jalokivi doesn't actually exist?? What's this then??? Bestie and the dad unit have helped a lot to explore different rock types to figure out the most interesting and accurate book related props!

#aetherscall #bookprops #rawk

"Super secret" merch drop! Bestie and the dad unit have helped make this - a natural rock with jalokivi accents added. It sits in a little jar, just like the book cover to Aether's Call. Jalokivi is the floating rock on the story, filled with veins of the mystic 5th element of the world, aether.

My writing friend @piinkavocados.bsky.social gifted me with a wonderful rendition of my mystical fifth element, jalokivi! We jokingly call it rawk. This is inspired by the wonderful cover art for the book!

The front cover of the book! At the top, the title reads Aether's Call, By: M.J. Baerman. A glass mason-style jar sits alone in a dark space, and inside there floats a jagged looking rock. The rock is dark - nearly black, with veins of glowing yellow-green energy running through it. It casts a glow on the surface upon which the jar sits. Underneath, the subtitle reads "Book One of the Ember Bloods Series".

Guys, what the heck... I told a client at work today that my book is getting published soon, and she went and got me flowers?!?! Why are some people so nice?? 😭

#flowers #brighterday #gifts

A large jar with a flower arrangement hazardously placed in it - but with glee and awe at the sweet gesture. Hydrandgea, roses, carnations daisies, and more, in shades ranging from blue to purple to bright pink. They sure do a lot to brighten up the white desktop!
