Meanwhile, one of the concepts for Book 2 (Hazy Sky) cover. However, the half-naked character here gives the wrong signal and looks a bit... seducing?
Ordered a change of pose.

BTW, when did we take the turn to calling fantasy books by the stupid template “A [Thing] of [Something] and [Something Else]”? There are some exceptions, but the majority is "A Saga of Fuckery and Treachery" anyway.

Was sorting my teabag shelf. Some aren’t identifiable anymore, so I tossed them in a Lucky Strike jar - grab a bag and drink it if you're feeling lucky. No poison or hallucinogens, so in the worst case it just tastes bad.

Writing is emotional taxidermy. You kill the feeling, stitch it with words, and hope it looks real.

I'm doing an audience swap with A. D. Rider, author of The Dragon Eye Gem Affair, a charming gaslamp fantasy romantic comedy. A missing gem, a failed guardian, and the person who can find it.

"Tie two birds together. They will not be able to fly, even though they now have four wings." – Rumi
Pretty much sums up me and my editor. Except we're more like a duck and a beaver - we can't quack, can't chew trees, and definitely not birthing a platypus.

Was working on scenes that might mess with the narrator, thinking of that @stephenfry.bsky.social Harry Potter story. Fixed a lot and then as a joke wrote a line that could get me killed:
"He put Hertzig's dossier for Voss's assessment: asset's missing."
