Stone and Bone is out now on Amazon and Audible! Can't wait to hear what you all think of Book 2 in my Broken Knife series! The deeper you go, the darker it gets - and Kaz is about to learn just how dark the depths can be. (Artist Luciano Fleitas)

The cover of Book two of The broken Knife Series: Stone and Bone, by SilverSidhe. Shows a blue-furred kobold in a throne-like chair, howling, with a dragon spreading her wings above him as red light strikes them. An injured human female stands to the side, looking worried.

I will never stop advocating for libraries. I only ask that my books are there, for the people like me, for whom that is their safe space, their quiet refuge, their home when the world outside is raging. Tell your library you need The Broken Knife! #library #author

Fixed it for you! (But also, please leave reviews 😅) #litrpg #author

Original text read: "forget leaving reviews, the single kindest thing you can do for an author is never, ever doing the math on how old the characters are and when year it's supposed to be." Everything after 'how old the characters are' has been crossed out and replaced with "how much experience the characters got and what level they're supposed to be"

There are already so many wonderful reviews for The Broken Knife, and I want to share a few with you! Let's start with this one 🥰 Thank you to whoever wrote it! www.amazon.com/dp/B0H5KM56XP #litrpg

5-star review from Amazon

Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2026

This book is fantastic. A charming furry kobold main character and an adorable baby dragon are just the start, it also has really interesting world building and the culture of the kobolds and how they relate to and view the outside world is really well drawn. If the premise appeals to you even a little bit you should just buy it now.

Okay, hands up, who has a copy of The Broken Knife? Am I the only one who doesn't? Why does it take so long to get author copies? 😂 #litrpg #author

This guy. I made a terrible dog bed out of an old sheet and some foam scraps, and now that I've replaced it with a proper dog bed, he still prefers the old one. So now I have one dog under my desk, and one next to me. I am so loved. #dogs #writingbuddy

I think we may need to check the assembly manual for this dog.

For the past month or so, I've been helping a relative who went through a horrible medical situation. She's recovering, but still needs a lot of support. I go every day and spend at least a few hours at her house, and one thing I really appreciate is the way she has surrounded herself with beauty.

Apparently, in order to raise reader engagement, I'm supposed to post something every day. But what do people post? That assumes I have social skills, which, I hate to break it to you, is a BIG leap to make.

Being half Beagle, Blue loves to find any little critter he can track down. For several days, we kept 'losing' him, and started to panic. He always turned up again, but we finally saw the old swimming pool moving. There's always the possibility #ItWasAMimic, but yeah...

This is Blue. Blue is half blue heeler and half beagle. We adopted him when he was six months old and our daughter LOVED Blue's Clues. Blue is a goober who did not want to get out of bed, and now he's on the internet like this. Same, Blue, same.

Sometimes when I need a laugh (so a lot lately) I just browse Amazon using the weirdest word combinations I can think of. Today I found a doozy. I was just searching for chickens...

I actually ran out of books on Libby today, and my brain sort of locked up for a minutes. Good news, there were more books available at the library. For now, anyway.
