Six days until Radio Silence, a 1940s historical m/m romance, releases. Two radio stars with dark secrets, longing to revive their show after five years apart, longing to make America laugh, longing to kiss each other despite how bloody the first kiss got. www.kobo.com/ca/en/ebook/...

cover for Chace Verity's Radio Silence done in black and white typography with blood splatter along the title. At top, it reads: How far will they go to protect each other?

I’ll try to find time/energy to do my publication notes post for Karrom in the Behemoth (published @ Cozy in the Apocalypse next week) this weekend. It’s a Bunian Empire short story further along the continuum from Vengeance As Sweet As My Love; fully in the post-apocalyptic era.

"When I got engaged to Demetrius, I didn't know he was an enchanted Prince who turned into a bird every night. It's not the sort of question you think to ask." Perfect for anyone who's ever sympathized with a fairy tale villain and/or belted along to an Original Broadway Cast Recording!

Think I asked this a while back but it anyone has any reading on auctioning the goods of the dead in 16th- and 17th-century London, and/or the role of bellmen and criers around deaths and auctions, I'd be very grateful for recommendations!

Claudie - Buy Nerezia While I Vacation ;) @clh2oars.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

It's time to reintroduce The Chronicles of Nerezia as a whole <3 With FRAGMENTED releasing on October 9 and concluding Disc One, I thought we could go back to some basics. Always feels weird to try to encompass so much in so little words 💚 DISCOUNTED ON ITCH: itch.io/s/200863/fra...

The Chronicles of Nerezia. Displays nine covers in a row that form a continuous canva with text below.
An ever-failing apprentice, an anxious artificer lizard, and an amnesiac elf with strange powers travel within a sentient self-propelling wagon, seeking the forest haunting the elf’s dreams. In their quest for answers, they will need to traverse a world haunted by Fragments, dangerous shards that can possess travellers--and will slowly unravel the mystery behind those, too.

Oh hey Bluesky recommend me a detective story/procedural with an unusual insider's point of view and a bunch of twists? I just read the Secret Barrister's Cut Throat Trial (law) before that it was Bodies of Magic (medicine) (The insider pov doesn't have to be police or justice, could be anything)

I was just saying to a friend that we used to do #GFM for medical, and now we do GFM for medical plus everything else, when we've done EVERYTHING we can and our back is against the wall. Boosts help, and GFMs often run a while, so keep folks in mind if you can. Siobhán is real, and in real need.
