Y'all. y'all. have I ever shown you the Diagram I made for the magic stuff in Untwined 😭😭🫠🫠

Redacted some stuff because spoilers, also, small spoilers for Imbued's world, and also not everything is Perfectly correct anymore, because.........logic (😭😭) but

isn't it beautiful
Oh goodness, please don't ask me to ALT text this.

Okay I'll try. It's a hand-drawn diagram of sorts about the "magic system" in my books Imbued and Untwined. The basic setup is that on the top there are orange swirling lines depicting the Ae, which is from where all magical potential (=life energy) comes into the material world. The Ae is labeled as "pure energy", "movement", "potential", "action but static in itself? potential for action". There are vertical orange lines coming from the swirly Ae towards the middle of the page. On their ends, there are little spheres. These symbolize every living thing's magical source and their connection to the Ae. There's a label that says "a mage is able to manipulate life energy and the world with it". And also that the connections have "determined width and capacity, but can be extended with imbuing to a point". The lines of connections are at the same time also arrows pointing down towards the bottom of the page where there is a dark blue "sea" of sorts". The arrows are labelled with "constant pull" and "passive". One little sphere is depcted to fall down into this sea, leaving a little sploosh after it, the sea protruding like when you drop a stone into water. It's labeled as "when someone dies, their material returns [REDACTED], consciousness survives (sometimes) with life energy that returns to the Ae. death = stops resisting, bunch of energy frees". The sploosh is important. There's also a section where a bunch of spheres are depicted as falling down and it's labeled as "corrupted zones, lots of people dying (or imbued)" and that makes a huge sploosh from that sea. There's a big sphere on the right which has a name that's reducted. It's depicted in the process of falling down and the sploosh continually coming up. It's labelled as "letting go of the Ae, controlled fall, "potential" gain, can use immense energy until death". And also "negative action, magic & its antithesis both".

I promise, it's all very cool.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Just sent it! And yeah I wouldn't be surprised, it's probably a year ago now since I last reviewed for you 😅
quillandcrib.bsky.social
Oh thank you!! I'll add in the next update 😄

Made a big update on the Filipino book list tonight! Now with sections on bookstores as well as Kickstarter campaigns and Patreon or Ko-Fi accounts.

I know most of the links lead to the Big River, I haven't had the time to look for alternatives as updating the list already takes time 😅 #BookSky 📚💙
quillandcrib.bsky.social
For the Filipino readers overseas who are looking to support Filipino authors, I started compiling a list of titles that can be purchased internationally, and I'm always open to more recs! ☺️

Also looking for bookclubs and bookstores, as well as authors w/ Patreon, Ko-fi or Kickstarter. 💙📚 #BookSky
quillandcrib.bsky.social
Or indie author websites and online shops. I have my books on my Ko-fi 🥺
bookshop.org
Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Heeey, did you know that there's free shipping on Bookshop.org right now? And that you can order all my paperbacks on there as well? AND that they're no more expensive than anywhere else? So you could, if you wanted, support your local shop AND an indie author at once! Pretty cool, huh? 😎

Happy release day to Echoes of the EtherStone, my low fantasy gothic horror book!

I started writing this book in 2022 after reading Hallie Rubenhold’s The Five (about the women killed by Jack the Ripper). From there to here feels both forever ago yet like it’s passed in the blink of an eye.

👀 If you don't mind me being slower than I used to (my baby says hello 😂) I'd love these! They're right up my alley 🤍

I miss reading @northodoxpress.bsky.social books! Will have to get some one of these days 🥰

The best thing about events like Sheffield last Saturday is that we get to put books and writers that you wouldn't necessarily normally see together! Huge thanks to all those who have picked up our Sheffield authors' books recently 🙏

As a Filipino who had to go overseas to work, I can't wait to read this!
quillandcrib.bsky.social
Thank you so much! This is very encouraging 🥹
quillandcrib.bsky.social
This resonated with me so much 🥺 For years I struggled with how I should write, since I felt there's an expectation to be very Filipino about everything, but if I also don't get everything right my own countrymen will cancel me 😅🙈

Anyway this isn't actually about me, I'm here to support this! 🫶🏻

Filipino writer here, pitching my first novel at #DVPit!

One of my challenges I encountered while writing my first book, Love Suicides at Crane Hill–was confronting my identity–who am I to write this story? I’m not sure about other Filipino writers, but I struggled with how I should write— 1/3

Thank you po Ms. Mina! Same in my case - too low outside of Amazon so I just used an aggregator instead of setting up per retailer - and that's what I told the author who asked, but they really want to set up with B&N directly.
