Once upon a time I watched someone with a huge social media following sic their followers on a friend of mine because they hadn't bothered to understand the complexities of a situation and just bleated about it anyway.

My latest (and best) novel, Silversong, officially released today. I'm VERY pleased with this one. Not just for what it is but also for what it feels like the start of.

If you like (melancholy) fantasy with heart you might just like it too.

I have a some print books left at the house, so I can personalize and mail someone a box of books for you.
I can probably even drive over to @rhondaparrish.bsky.social house and get a few things from her, too. Oh! I also have like six @skyladawn.ca books leftover from events.
WE ARE READY.

When I left Twitter because, as a friend of mine frequently says, “I don’t drink at Nazi bars.” I wasn’t sure if I had the spoons to start over at a new platform. Still, I did want to save my name here, just in case.

But I didn’t want to just be a blank account sitting here so I decided to start posting a story, one paragraph(ish) a day, beginning at the end and working my way forward. That way it could be read in the correct order by anyone who stumbled across my page.

So, without further ado, allow me to introduce The Tangle. It’s an icy Faerie nighttime homage to Labyrinth, which includes one of my favourite recurring characters, Aleria.

Aleria was soft and warm in my arms, and the clouds of our breath intermingled as we kissed, then parted, only to kiss again. Twilight painted the sky the same shade of lilac as her eyes and the snow which bedecked the surrounding trees caught that light and held it. Glowing like faerie fire.

As she pulled from my embrace, her colourful hair streamed out behind her, a rainbow that wrapped around the trunk of a tree as she disappeared behind it. Her challenging laughter rang in the cold air and I ducked as a snowball flew over me–right where my face had
been moments before–and splatted on the trunk of a spruce. I gathered a handful of snow, formed it into a tight snowball and danced around to the far side of the tree Aleria had gone behind. With a victorious battle cry I loosed the snowball, only to have it smash ineffectively into a nearby shrub.

“Where are–?” I began, and then she was there–a flash of colour, a cheeky grin. She winked at me, pelted me with a snowball that exploded into flakes against my shoulder, and then vanished once more.

flaky waterfall. I rolled to a stop and packed another snowball. The next time she appeared beside me I was ready, and my snowball exploded across her spring green jacket. Even as her giggly gasp of surprise clouded the air, I circled around the tree and readied myself for her counter attack.

She laughed, a sound like cracking ice, “No. It’s not a snowball,” she said. “Let’s declare a truce.”
