A grieving professor went to the Arctic to forget, but the Nordlyset had other plans—it made him remember.

This atmospheric short story by @tammykomoff.bsky.social blends grief, wonder & the supernatural in a breathtaking tale of loss and transcendence.

The strongest part of your book description should be the first 150 words. But what can you do to pack a bigger punch into such a small space?

Book 3 of 2026 is was recommended by actor/author Graham McTavish (he’s a book guy!) on Instagram. I loved his review and purchased it right away. I started it this morning. All of its rave reviews are accurate. Raising Hare by Chloe Dalton is an exquisite memoir, not to be missed by nature lovers!

As Martin Luther King Jr. said in his last speech:

"I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we as a people, will get to the promised land."

From your first draft onward, show vs tell #writingtips matter more than you might think. Writers everywhere hear “show, don’t tell,” but few stop to ask what that really means. Worse, many feel shame when they don’t do it perfectly. We won’t let that happen. 👇

Have you ever wondered about the mystical world of the Rider-Waite Tarot? Dive into the symbolism and secrets behind the beloved deck with my book 'Decoding the Wisdom of Rider-Waite Tarot'. Uncover the hidden meanings and stories behind each card, and learn how to tap into the wisdom of this iconic deck. Get ready to unlock the mysteries of the universe, one card at a time. I discuss all 78 cards of the Rider-Waite Tarot in detail in my book. Further articles provide valuable tips on how to use the Tarot and alternative perspectives on the metaphysical. The original German edition is already considered 'one of the most modern Tarot books around'. Readers are particularly fascinated by the sensitive presentation of the dual nature of each card, which demonstrates that they can have both negative and positive connotations, in line with the idea that everything has two sides. Eleonore Radtberger offers a positive and encouraging perspective. Her interpretations are characterised by great intuitive clarity.
