Happy US publication week to @finnlongman.com 's Wolf and His King!! It's been 6 months since I read it, and I'm still in love with it
medieval manuscript style illustration that reads "the wolf and his king." inside the "w" there are 2 scenes: Bisclavret and the King sparring and the King knighting Bisclavret. Inside the "K", Bisclavret's wolf form sleeps while his wife steals his clothes.

Introducing the US edition! I could've done a better video than this probably but you don't want to see my face, my jaw is swollen and I haven't slept. So. You get to see how messy this corner of my living room is instead 😅

I know this is now about 5 years old and was for a different fandom but every time I'm reminded of its existence I get forced into a state of shock like. How did I do this. What kind of mystery stimulants was I taking in order to achieve this and how can I do it again
Image is a digital painting of the characters wei wuxian and lan wangji from the Chinese xianxia novel series "Mo Dao Zu Shi" in the style of American artist John Koch, specifically his 1964 work "The Sculptor" with Wei Wuxian as the sculptor and Lan Wangji as the muse or model. Wei Wuxian is wearing a red shirt and a grey smock and is sat at an angle in an art studio on a bench with his feet pointed to the bottom right of the piece. In his right hand he holds a pair of calipers and in his left hand is a unlit cigarette. Lan Wangji is stood in front of him, completely nude, with his back to the viewer. He has his right arm up and leaning on a large floor easel, one leg leisurely crossed in front of the other, and his left positioned downwards towards Wei Wuxian's face in order to place a cigarette lighter under Wei Wuxian's cigarette. Behind the two is a large sculpture in progress on top of a large cart holding various sculpting supplies that depicts one figure atop a donkey reaching out to a small child who is riding on the shoulders of another figure walking alongside them. Their hands almost reach. In the lower right corner of the piece there is a small framed painting of two rabbits, one white and one black, positioned so that their noses are almost touching. Overall the piece is colored in warm tones and lit softly from behind and to the left. End ID.

Not to be dramatic, but I would die for her
(Large Francis from Daggerbound by @tkingfisher.com )
sketch page of Large Francis from Daggerbound. She is a 7ft tall isopod. Sketch 1: Large Francis skitters, wearing her pack. Sketch 2: Large Francis excitedly chases a snowflake, her antennae vibrating. Sketch 3: Large Francis proudly displays a banner that reads "I do not eat human meat". Sketch 4: Large Francis holds her interpretive gramaphone and feelingly says, "Your skeleton is so small and on the inside". Her upper legs are curled sympathetically towards her face. A small bundle of moss floats in the middle of the page, and cattails dot the bottom.

I feel like the way publishing treats debuts is literally the opposite of what a debut is supposed to be.

Debuts should be "Hi, hello, I'm new here but I'm looking forward to getting to know you all! Here's what I have so far!"

But publishing treats it like the final performance in Camp Rock.

Please enjoy this snippet from THE REANIMATOR'S FATE (TRM #4). As you can see, poor Felipe is once again going through it.
You can preorder it at all major retailers, and the paperback will be out closer to release day!
books2read.com/trm4
The Reanimator's Fate, preorder now, Out January 29th, 2026 Even injured, Oliver had never seen Felipe completely without his usual bravado, but that had been stripped away. In his place was a man Oliver wasn’t sure he had ever met. He had glimpsed him in wary glances at marigolds or behind Felipe’s eyes when he mentioned Señor Quintero. Somewhere inside him was a Felipe who had never been allowed to grow.

On that note:

Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"
