Behold The Scribble Witch and one of her 'Inklings'-a familiar conjured from her magical inks. The mascot of Glitter & Gloom

An anime style witch woman in mostly purple clothing, wearing a feather boa and witch hat. She has magic inks flowing from her hands as she steps out of a portal with a small octopus holding a paintbrush. There's a large magic circle that has the Procreate art program icon, a tablet with an apple core on it, and a stylus.

What happens when two intelligent, witty, charismatic, politically inclined people with a deep friendship and desire for justice have nothing left to lose?

We're about to find out.

I'd be lying if I said I was not very concerned about my book signing tomorrow and all upcoming appearances I have. Now more than ever, though, it is important for those of us who can be public with our identities, are. I won't back down. We deserve to live unafraid, and I intend to do just that.

I have a lore question.
In Cars, Lightning walks in on the sheriff getting an oil change. Doc is under him, not helping. They chastise Lightning for seeing the sheriff's undercarriage, but???
Doc was staring like it was his last sunset???
WHAT WAS GOING ON THERE?
This is my new favorite ship, btw.

Courtney Floyd may be debuting with Higher Magic, but mark my words, she is going to be one of those names that permeate the writing world. I can't wait to see what she does next, and I know it's going to be special. Tell the stars I said hello, Courtney, because your place is among them. 🫶🏻

Author Salem T. Lynn (Donkey Ōte) @author-salem.bsky.social · Sep 2

I have been feeling so out of place, clawing my way through this whole "being an author" thing. Begging people for chances that never come. But... I needed the messaging of Higher Magic. I needed the reminder, that I do belong. This is who I am, and I don't need to ask permission for that.
