For #AceWeek, I’m highlighting my fellow aspec #2026debut authors! Today is @artemiswhelan.bsky.social with their adult cozy fantasy, The Education of Imryn Dyre. #booksky #readingsky #lgbtqiap #cozyfantasy

Artemis Whelan
The Educalion of Imryn
Wizard's Apprentice
Adult Cozy Fantasy (2026)

"I've only known him for a few months," I said, and suddenly I felt very small, as if I were admitting something I oughtn't. "I'm not sure I understand what I feel. Or what I want."
- Imi (THE EDUCATION OF IMRYN DYRE, WIZARD'S APPRENTICE)

Rep: -
Asexual flag; nonbinary flag (Imi)
Bisexual flag (Elim)

Quiet, half-goblin Imi becomes the live-in healer for handsome and jovial wizard Elim. Their budding romance grinds to a halt when Imi discovers the curse he was hired to cure is incurable-and it's killing the man he's falling in love with.
Imi is non-binary and demisexual...
His journey is one of self-acceptance, as he recovers from a previous bad relationship and slowly opens his heart to friendship-and, for the first time in his life, love.

How does one go about starting an itch book bundle? 📦📚 I'm not really sure of how to find some to join in the first place so I'm wondering about starting one of my own, but I don't know what goes into it - do I need a large audience and that sort of thing?

New trans girl Claire just found out the members of her fav Portland band are magical girls - and she's one, too! Now she’s out of the closet as the newest member of Magica Riot! Check out the book Strange Horizons called "brilliant trans joy," in print, ebook, and audio. magicariot.com/magicariot

Artwork of the cover art of "Magica Riot," featuring protagonist Claire in her purple magical girl costuming posing in front of the St. Johns Bridge in Portland, Oregon. Across the top, artwork of her and the other four main characters in a park is placed. Around the book art are placed several blocks of text: "trans protagonist," "entirely queer cast," "found family energy," "thrilling action," "music-based magic," "goopy monsters," "useless lesbians," "modern-day Portland." A quote from Strange Horizons Magazine calling the book "Brilliant trans joy" comes next. Finally, text at the bottom reads: "Recommended if you like Sailor Moon, Symphogear, Pretty Cure, Power Rangers"

Obvi we all know that AI "art" is BS. But just in case: Unlike AI "artists," indie authors don't need a computer to write for them. Much like how artists don't need a computer to make art for them. This person has been using #cozyfantasy to peddle their plagiarism. Block 'em if you see 'em.

i know promoting your own book is super hard--making graphics and writing copy, trying to condense a novel into a legible pitch--but as a reader it really helps me make decisions!! for example if you use AI to promote your book, I decide that you're my enemy 😃

Y'know sometimes I worry that someone bigoted will read Coffee, Milk & Spider Silk and assume that I'm also bigoted because there's no trans characters in there. So just to be clear: Gwen says trans rights. Jax says trans rights. Mellie says trans rights (and fuck JK). Olympia says trans rights.

Wednesday's bird expedition in Iowa afforded me the perfect #Flyday #Birds photo. We went chasing after seeing repeated reports of White-Faced Ibis in a few places in Iowa. We found about 13-15 in Runnells Bottom, and made several jokes about the location name. Zoom in to see the colors.

Zoom in on the wings of these flying birds, and the photo that starts out looking like silhouettes against the sky shows the greens and blues of iridescence on their wings, a reddish hue around their heads and necks, and the white around the eye that differentiates them from Glossy Ibis.

There are 8 midsized wading birds flying against a cloudy backdrop, all going from the left to the right. Their distinctive long curved beaks help further the identification.

NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talking about THE IRON BELOW REMEMBERS by Sharang Biswas. The novella is a charmingly ribald celebration of queer masculinity, archeology, superscience, and strange magic; I was captivated. Our drink, Lochal, is midway between a gimlet and a lassi.
