My client Brian published his first collection of punk rock poetry this month and I'm very proud of him. His "pocket book" at a mighty 4x6 inches in size is stylized like those beatnik poetry collections from the 1950's. Super charming! #booksky

You're very correct. Silk Rhode Books has several titles that would be on a banned book list, lol. A trans main character in Across the Sun... how dare we?? Lol (by the way, Kliyd is such a badass character too!)

The siblings were leaving for the tikus camp in the morning. The rain had arrived overnight, creating pattering and dripping noises above them. In a hammock, Ruccharieu listened to the rain, thinking about his bed back home. He would listen to the rain and imagine puddles outside growing larger. He’d loved the idea that the rainwater might rise up to the loft, in through the windows, and carry him away on a floating bed. His sensibilities reminded him such an occurrence would endanger his family. Then he thought about the flooding rain he created earlier, which did endanger everyone. He watched Mitra across the room, tending to her pups with Xulphy then trying to rest. Preparing to meditate, Ruccharieu had an idea. “Oxbow, can you hear my thoughts? I feel like you are all around me in this rain. I’d like to speak with you.” Ruccharieu meditated. “I am always close to you,” Oxbow said. The voice, but not the image of the djinni, presented in Ruccharieu’s mind. Portrait of Rook Portrait of Oxbow

Despite his gaunt frame, he had a large, distended stomach that nearly touched the ground. His head was down, and under his matted hair she could see sores on his rotten skin and a deep gash covered in dried blood. All at once, the man uncurled and lunged at Niwa, his palm open. The spring attack hit her with incredible force just below her shoulder. The sound of breaking bones came from her clavicle but also from the man’s hand. Her assailant didn’t react to his gnarled fingers folded backwards, now dangling like sausage links held together by casing. The blow knocked Niwa flat on her back, taking her wind away and causing her to drop the burning branch. Her chest burned as she tried to cough, and she nearly choked as her first gasps reclaimed her airway. With some arcane words, Ruccharieu pressed his hand forward, directing a torrent spell at their agile foe. A hydraulic push of water shot forward like a cannonball. Portrait of Niwa Portrait of Rook

Warning: violence
One hobgoblin was foolish enough to charge into the water at Ruccharieu, his dagger extended forward like a poor man’s lance. As the hobgoblin awkwardly thrust his crude weapon, Ruccharieu drove his knee into the hobgoblin’s sternum. Everyone heard the sound of cracking bone as the hobgoblin buckled in on himself, choking. As he sunk, his outstretched hand pulled down, driving the dagger into the elf’s thigh. Ruccharieu grabbed the hobgoblin by the base of his skull, holding his submerged head firmly. The hobgoblin struggled, pushing desperately, and fighting to pull himself above the water, but there was no salvation. Then the mage covered the hobgoblin’s mouth. Focusing his arcana, he altered the minor spell create flame, and within seconds ice began forming inside and around the struggling hobgoblin’s mouth, obstructing his airway. The flesh around his mouth rimed and darkened from a mossy gray to a necrotic black. Portrait of Rook
