My son told me he saw my book, The Stars Forgot Us, at the school library, and I didn't believe him until he finally snapped a picture!

The beauty of spilled ink

C. Signy Maraine 🛹🐢 @csignymaraine.bsky.social · 3d

libertine indulged imprecations
full-throated
through the lips of prayer warriors
while mandating
for the mouth of the non acolyte
only ever
the straight - the strait -

for the narrow

tossing coins
into the sky-well-wishing
wishful thinking
until the elastic gravity
of reality
hurls them back again

Amazing what a few words strung together can do.

C. Signy Maraine 🛹🐢 @csignymaraine.bsky.social · 29d

each articulation an article covering
an applied designer label layering
styling after fashioned ideas
defining what must be worn, until,
all else disappears

Scarecrow: The storms are laying waste to my garden patch. I fear for its survival.

Magpie: There is always hope - the cycle of potential remains: seed. time. harvest. We can scatter new seeds.

Scarecrow, looking at the sky darkening yet again: But what if we run out of time?

QUIT
telling me stories
of your place
in a sapphire heaven
when the outpouring
of your heart
on this earth
has brought hell

It's not political to think people shouldn't be starved to death.

Who needs AC when you’ve got books that can send a chill down your spine?

If you’re looking for something to keep you up at night just in time for Summerween, you’re going to want to check out The Stars Forgot Us by RJ Garcia. #booksky

Post card graphic featuring:
- "Hey we're off to small town USA"
- "with a hell dimension or two"
- "Come for the scenery stay because you can't escape"
- Postcard of small town main street
- "there's evil and then there's whatever mother is"
- Polaroid of a small town
- "just a romantic walk through a haunted house?"

Cover art for The Stars Forgot Us by RJ Garcia surrounding a trope list that reads "good vs. evil", "love at first sight", "just a small town with a hell dimension", "there's evil and then there's whatever the heck mother is", "oh hey, haunted house!"

Mockup of The Stars Forgot Us by RJ Garcia with the words "he must journey to a real haunted house to save his first love and fight for his life."
