I’ve got a few others of yours to read still too, so I’ll be kept busy! Looking forward very much to Breath and Bone.

Haha makes sense, and I think that kind of thing happens all the time. I guess now you have some lore inspiration if you end up needing it!
Having no context for your story, is it set in the Orkney Islands or is that just coincidence? 😆
THE WOLF AND THE WILD KING is a cold, grim, beautiful, snarky, high fantasy & the conclusion of the duology is just finished so you should read WWK to be ready for book ii, which sees the year around to the summer solstice and is also grim but ends well. www.kvj.ca/wolf.html Buy links here! #fantasy
Currently reading this and absolutely loving it, as expected. I think you do atmosphere better than just about anybody in the genre. Is there a pub date for book two at all yet?
I’m pleased to announce my story “Songshadow” in the forthcoming Tales of the Black Piper anthology. This is a dark, mournful, spooky, snow-clad story about a woman named Helene, her attempts to flee her past, and the faint flickering lights of hope waiting at the end of a forbidden hollow.
Happy release day to the latest Garden Knight tale! Come wander the high hills with us and enjoy the magic for yourself…
Happy Monday, friends & enemies of #booksky!

Happy birthday to The Servant! This is a story of magic and wonder, of light and darkness, of monsters and mayhem and myth, of betrayal and hope and sacrifice and love. Early reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, and I’m so pleased the book is out in the world today. Enjoy!

Totally understandable, and I appreciate the candor and the reply at all! And yeah, that was my thinking as well, in addition to not wanting to spam your timeline (especially during a writing retreat?). Would love to chat more via DM but that might require an okay on your end?
Haha you have accurately guessed half the reason. And that’s a completely expected and most reasonable answer, of course. The other half was just to tell you how much I love your writing and your particular approach to fantasy and myth. I’m hugely impressed and wanted to be able to convey that more
@kvjohansen.bsky.social hey KV! I’m a huge fan of your work; I was wondering if I could DM you?
