Fantasy/sci-fi author of the DRAGON BONES TRILOGY out now!! Also a freelance illustrator, full stack developer, and language enthusiast. I also just freaking love dragons.
SOMEBODY FINALLY SAID IT

No lie, I was beginning to think I hallucinated 5 years of my life before white people started saying it.
Woke was about the self-protection of Black communities and the awareness of plots to hurt us. The enemy co-opted it but that makes the definition even more stark - they coming to get you. Act accordingly.

I live in Europe. I cannot physically hold the book I contributed to yet. BUT LET’S PRETEND

I’m so happy to (spiritually) be able to hold my own story in my hands. But not just mine, the stories of everyone that contributed! Happy #blackhistorymonth

Magic in the Melanin is a book you need. Period.

I specifically told my family they weren’t allowed to get sick. I was VERY specific 😩🤧

Hey y’all! I’m just now figuring out how BlueSky works 😂

I’m Celeste Harte, I’m a fantasy and sci fi author. I write all-Black casts into fantastical worlds of my own making.

I’m currently working on a DnD-inspired standalone called When the Hero Dies.

Come say hi! 👋🏾

We’re coming to the end of 2024 and I don’t know about you all, but I already have my goals for next year! Among them:

- build my community on new social media platforms
- being published in the Magic in the Melanin Anthology
- publishing my DnD-inspired standalone novel

What are your plans?

So, attempt #2 to get used to BlueSky as the bird app somehow manages to get *even worse*.

So! How are you all? #writers

I'm putting together my roadmap for 2024 and I'm excited.

I've been delving into non-fiction writing and writing articles, and I can't wait to show you guts what I've learned after getting some experience writing professionally for different clients.

2024 is going to have a lot in store for me!!

I wrote words! And after working on the story all day I kept 300 of them 🫠

New idea for a dark fantasy novella now has an elevator pitch!

Using the Christmas vacation time to start a new short project. My first in a while 😅. But I like what I'm cooking up so far.

"Your future is a horror story written by your crimes," is such an absolute A+ literary line that you'd be forgiven for forgetting it comes from the Muppets.

Merry Christmas Eve to all that celebrate! My absolute favorite part of the holiday is getting to eat my favorite cake -- red velvet 🍰.

What's yours?

For the first time in so long I actually feel like writing and you know what I did, fam? I spent all day procrastinating making a spreadsheet to track my wordcount.

For a story I haven't even started writing 🥴

You guys should be proud of me, I've been busy in all the best ways, and I'm excited for the final chapter of Dragon Bones to be released!

You are *not* prepared for all I have planned 👀

Writers, where are we in terms of forms of consuming media? This may be a very on-the-nose question, but approptiate considering the death of the bird app.

Like, are we reading blogs? Watching TikTok? Following bsky-ers? How are you keeping up with your favorite writers/authors?

I've gotten a lot of work done this week. Aaaand I still have commissions to work on this weekend 😂.

How are you guys planning on spending the weekend?
