My darlings, I'm mostly here to promote books, engage in cheeky nonsense, and share my shop cats. But I come from a family of artists. My dearest auntie makes the most glorious cards. Perfect for the holidays. She's not on here so I can be extravagant in my praise

Since I've been running a quirky little steampunk and historical fantasy book club for almost 15 years combined, naturally I have opinions and recommendations about books for new readers

Now seems like a perfect time to share.

My darlings, this is my occasional reminder that I run a quirky little, virtual book club with my dear chums @b1llz1lla.bsky.social. we do our utmost to celebrate the authors and shatter the idea that steampunk is a sepia toned, European monolith.

I posted a buy link here to "A Magical Inheritance" a few days ago, and 24 of you immediately went to Anna's Archives and fucking stole it from me.

Yes, stole it.

I do not get paid for your download there because YOU ARE STEALING FROM ME.

This flash fiction short story holds so many memories, from my first invitation to write in an anthology edited by @j_r_blackwell to my first vacation to explore Seattle with Matthew J. Drake to a quirky interaction with two random soldiers who walked into a romance book signing to find PJ Schnyder.
