HAPPY COVER REVEAL DAY to @willoglenn.bsky.social's THE SERPENT AND THE DAUGHTER!!! I cannot express how hype I am to delve into the origins of one of my favorite characters from Tempered in Ash! The book releases on 12/28 and you can pre-order and add it on Goodreads right now! So do it, losers.🔗👇

A stack of books (all the serpent and the daughter) with a trope map around it against a red background. The trope map contains the following tropes:

D&d style shenanigans, first time puppy love, repeating cycles of care, "i am kind even though the world is not," coming out and coming of age, and "i gnash my teeth because my mother held her tongue."

Hate to ask, but an October bill processed early and now I have only a 1$ until I get paid on the 1st and the cats need food. 20$ should cover it for the small bag of science diet that they're on for medical reasons. ko-fi.com/pilsberyjoeboy

#LateNightWrite Thanks for the chat! If you like books about fear, check out The Witch of the Wood and watch Milo face his fears! 🖤Out October 6th!🖤 Uni: books2read.com/u/bw6gwP Itch: applesncinnamon.itch.io/the-witch-of...

The cover of The Witch of the Wood by Alex Larkspur. It features two men in a dark and gloomy forest. Milo stands in front, a man with tan skin and short, dark hair. He’s dressed in a cream tunic and a green cloak around his shoulders. He has a bow and arrows. He is clearly afraid as he stares at his left hand. His fingers are blackened due a curse that is spreading across his hand. Another man, Cam, is turned the other way and holding Milo’s right hand. He’s looking over his shoulder and looking at Milo with concern. His clothes are bright, colorful, and patchwork. The gloom of the forest mutes their color. The trees seem to close in around them.

#LateNightWrite In Chosen? I don't know yet. I haven't thought up any. Shadows Rise when it was active had a few Halloween chapters where one of the characters would tell one said story. They were really really fun to write and maybe we'll get a couple more of them in once we go back to posting.

Illustration of a ghost, trying on a black cape with a small bat shaped closure. The ghost is also wearing vampire fangs and standing beside an open coffin, from where a black cat and a mysterious creature of just two eyes are watching them approvingly.

I'm at the point where I won't go to the hospital, knowing I probably should, because we're still trapped under the bills from my relapse and The Kid's gender affirming care after being cut off by insurance. I stopped asking for help because of guilt and shame, but...the need is still there.

Why is it awesome? It's the start of an epic series of interconnected stories that follow different MCs every time, but feature the same rotating important characters (think Exandria/Critical Role). The Terrain is a queer normative world, and every novel in the series features a sapphic couple 🩷

Two women kissing against a purple background. One has long, straight brown hair and is a human. The other is an elf with curly red hair and a scar on her cheek. Characters are Ilde Torrun and Madris Madrigal from TEMPERED IN ASH by Willo Glenn

Two women teasing each other against a brown background. One is a short tiefling with short brown hair and curling horns in a red coat. The other is a burly human woman, who is very muscular and has her dark hair up in a bun. Characters are Trystan Tivalde and Joyanna Brightblade from TEMPERED IN ASH by Willo Glenn

Two young girls sitting on a dead tree in the middle of the desert. One is a drow elf with lilac skin and black hair in pigtail braids, the other is a muscular human woman with warm brown skin and a black braid. The two of them are flirting. Characters are Heylas and Joyanna Gerassi from THE SERPENT AND THE DAUGHTER by Willo Glenn (a prequel to TEMPERED IN ASH)
