A Covenant of Ice is out today in North Am! It wasn’t written by AI in any way. The cover art is human made. My publisher & editor are cool beans. @solarisbooks.bsky.social
If you want to support art being made by humans, for humans, give my anti-colonial, queer+ dragon book a go geni.us/ishia

Thank you so much for this fun and thoughtful review! Your drinks are PERFECT matches to the books 😄🐉❄️ @solarisbooks.bsky.social
NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talking about A COVENANT OF ICE by Karin Lowachee. The final book in the Crowns of Ishia novella trilogy, this has even more dragons, even more madness, and even more magic than before. A queer fever dream that inspired the Suon, a perfect digestif!

So, um, if anyone has any pennies in the couch cushions they could send my way, my neighbor just found these in his shed. He knows I “help kittens” and well, here we are.
They’re underweight and filthy, and the smallest one worries me, but we’ll get him bathed and fed and figure things out. /1

Time to update the thread. I don't remember who, but I saw the cover of The Mountain Crown by Karin Lowachee posted here a few times, I'm into novellas, and who doesn't like dragons so now I have the whole trilogy. They're great! (34/?)

This is GORGEOUS. Can we normalize literature in the genre world that can be esoteric and difficult because Odin forbid the prose doesn’t hit you over the head with easy answers or doesn’t need to be understood on literal levels all the time.
A page from a dark fantasy book I’ve been working on with @danieldwyer.bsky.social.
Consensus so far is it’s too esoteric and puzzling for most publishers. We will try to find a way to bring this to life one way or another. It’s a story world we know is odd but begs to live and to be read.

While this federal administration has been busy empowering ICE to become, essentially, an extrajudicial militia allowed to disappear people from our streets, the Bay has been organizing. We will not be beaten down.

ICE is in the Bay Area. And yes, we can all do something about it.
