Put up a new blog post showcasing some art. βΊοΈ The art itself could be considered spoilers for THE RILL LORD, so consider yourself warned if you want to avoid those.

How I arrived on Bluesky:
Those are beautiful,. though
Two loaves of sourdough bread with lines around them, and bursting crusts
Stress level: at least two loaves.
I got too excited and didn't give the most important info! This book will be 2.99 internationally after this 99 cent wide sale, so if you want a deal, check it out now π.
This is kind of informal, so I'm thinking, 2 weeks? Maybe longer.
I kinda think everything I write is for the love of the game? Like, I try to make my stories entertaining and meaningful to others, but only because they're entertaining and meaningful to me first. Might be why I'm releasing a revised version of a portal/epic/paranormal/urban fantasy...thing soon π
That one's not bad, I enjoyed it.
Front and back paperback mockup of The Re-Emergence on the left with SFINCS finalist badge in the bottom left corner of the book, on a space background of a reddish/orange nebula. A blueish light shines around the book. On the right are selected review extracts. The text reads: βA sci-fi made by, and for, sci-fi geeksβ, βA well-written, imaginative and original space sci-fiβ, and βDellβs world-building talent really makes everything come to lifeβ. Underneath the book, the text reads: βAvailable widely. Read free on Kobo Plusβ.
After warning its makers of the return of a long-forgotten foe, an ancient satellite consciousness embarks on a galactic adventure when it is downloaded by the plucky crew of the imperial flagship.

Wishes, A Rai Ascendant Story by Angela Boord: A black cover featuring a drawing of an amber-eyed wolf looking out at the reader
1982. Magic is a thing of fairytales and fantasy, but for Tresa, it's a dangerous reality. In constant fear of the destruction even her best wishes can cause, she's been forced to live a solitary, silent life, keeping everyone at a distance to protect them. When the mysterious stranger sheβs been dreaming about for years walks into the bookstore where she works, Tresa is torn between her desire to stay safe and the temptation to speak to him. He's about to turn her carefully guarded world upside down. But if she breaks through her shell, what havoc will her wishing unleash?
Just sent a 30k Rai Ascendant novella off to my copy editor and now I have to figure out what to do with myself until tomorrow?
If you're curious, the prequel short story "Wishes" is free with my newsletter!

Happy Birthday to @bookspotlight.bsky.social!
Buy a book! Support cats, dark conspiracies, and spaceships!
Thanks! Unfortunately, I don't have any art of them (and I'm terrible at character casting using photos of real people.)
He was very weary; the day had been long, and full of dragons.
Publishing & book distribution is geared towards the success spiral. Nobody wants to be stuck w/books that don't sell so wholesalers & retailers are reluctant to bet on stocking unknowns.
.: if you love an indie gem, spread the word. The more people who read it, the more likely it'll be discovered.
I'm running a little behind on social media lately, but-- #SFINCS has finalists, check them out here if you haven't yet!! πππ

I'm almost done with revising after getting beta feedback! It's hopefully off to my copy editor by next week π€π€, knock on wood!
Since it's just a novella (approaching 30k right now) it actually only has 2 characters. Any more than that and I am tempted to write chonks π
#SFINCS finalist Sisters of Mercy is on sale for $0.99 on all retailers in all countries.
"A devastating, emotional, violent, complex experience.β
"Mech battles and post-apocalyptic science fiction wrapped up in a deeply emotional, character-driven narrative."

It's *a* scene in my book, in the middle. Just the one that had the best use of the word of the day. The novella is 1.5 in a portal fantasy series.
Easing back into #WIPSnips with this Rai Ascendant novella featuring Kolya, whose brother is the MC of To Dream a Darker Realm (book 1). Technically it's also a sequel to "Wishes", the novelette you can get for free by subscribing to my newsletter π
