Hey everybody! Time to check back in.

I'm K Arsenault Rivera.

I write original work, like my sapphic Eros and Psyche book OATH OF FIRE and my debut THE TIGER'S DAUGHTER, as well as IP stuff. I've written for Magic, DC, Star Wars, and Pathfinder.

Bisexual and Biracial.
🇵🇷🏳️‍🌈

People on r/fantasy keep asking “Why is modern fantasy all so UNORIGINAL and BORING,” and I immediately assume they must not be reading, say, N.K. Jemisin or Vajra Chandrasekera or Simon Jimenez or Premee Mohamed or anything published by Neon Hemlock, and frankly that sounds like a them problem.

Since the article itself is paywalled... my new novel is called THIS IS WHERE THE FUTURE BLEEDS, which @losbennett.bsky.social sold to @titanbooks.bsky.social earlier this year. It's a fantasy adventure in a queer-normative world featuring fractured futures, sapphic romance, and giant wasps.

A stack of hardcover copies of The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern in front of a silver tabby cat with an expression on her face that seems to say "why do you have so many copies of the same book?"

...oops?

All Of Us Murderers flyer with book cover. tex says: Readers Say, followed by quotes: All Of Us Murderers is why I am sleep deprived at work today.

Kept me up until 2am on a
work night!

I read this in one sitting and stayed up until 3am because
I couldn't put it down.

I was only going to read a chapter before bed and then I blinked and it was 8am.

end tagline reads: Out Now. sorry about that.

The Hades franchise has been everything I could’ve wished for since 2020.

I always wanted to thank Supergiant Games with a fanart, but I was always short on… time?

Maybe now, time won’t be such a troublesome thing for me anymore.

Death to Chronos!

charlie is just starting to watch star wars now, and they're doing so chronologically. which means they're starting with the acolyte.

this show is so much better than people give it credit for and it's a shame we only got one season.

at the same time--it's gonna be interesting to start this way.

A fun thing about writing so many different genres is that sometimes you don’t even know what you’re going to sound like when you start a project until you do. I feel like a whole different writer sometimes.

GM meant to have an NPC call my character—an absolutely huge jacked FBI agent—a wretched bitch. Slipped up and called her a wretched butch instead.

I’m never calling her anything else

A warrior ceremony in ancient Crete

We know so little about religious rituals in Minoan culture that I can't tell you what is happening here. But we can assume that war also played a role in them. Here my task was to imagine what it could've looked like if you were there.

Client: Board & Dice

Ancient Minoan warrior kneeling in front of a woman whose face we don't see. He's bowing his head and ceremoniously handing her a gilded battle axe. She is dressed like royalty and wears jewelry, he's decked out in his battle armor. In the background, soldiers with leather shields and spears stand in a row.
