I've posted this before, but here's my artwork for the Droid & Dragon Cantina podcast.

The show is now up to 15 episodes, with each one a chance to hear from an indie sci fi or fantasy author, all about their books and their craft. Well worth a listen.

A robot hand holds a glass. Inside the glass, a small dragon swims in the blue-green drink, its fiery breath igniting the vapour on top of the glass.

You know how most vampire stories take place in the past? When she wrote her book, @vehuntleyauthor.bsky.social didn’t do that.
She set it 500 years in the future after vampires took over the world.
