I just received my author’s copy of the Taiwanese translation of Counterfeit Viscount & it’s so lovely!

Looking so happy, despite all the rain.

Small, cream-colored mushrooms with a water drop on the edge of it.

With rivers rising and rain falling, I thought I’d revisit this illustration from earlier floods & remember all the people who helped each other through high waters. ( keep safe!)

Painting of a water drop in a gold frame floating over a flooded field. Text reads: The rain came as a blessing. It stayed as a curse.

I’m so glad that you are still here.

I was lucky enough to have a story included in this excellent collection!

I love revisiting this feral tree, to see how it’s faring and all the little creatures that it supports.

For anyone who’s interested, I posted an extra little story, set in the World of Lord of the White Hell. It’s on my Patreon this week and available to free members— so there’s no cost. I just wanted to share.

Out seeing what’s about. Thought this amanita looked so vivid in the rain and gloom that I wanted to share it with you all! (I feel like it reminds me to stay bright… and also maybe poison anyone who tries to devour me…?)

Amanita muscaria mushroom growing in the woods. The mushrooms is orange in the center and yellow at the edges.

On my way to the bookstore I noticed this vivid collection scattered in the gutter and I was struck by how these leaves seemed to bring beauty to any place they fell.

Mound of fallen autumn leaves. Most are red and yellow. Many are maple leaves.

I'm building my own world🍂 A midwest vast, and vaster. QRP with your world

Cover image: an elaborate landscape illustration of the Midwestern prairie. Papercut scrollwork frames the title of the book.

An image of a water naiad leaning onto a reedy river bank, resting her cheek on one webbed hand. Long dark hair trails into the river behind her as she pouts at a spread of cards in the grassy riverbank. Scattered around the riverbank are fine crystal glasses holding forks and spoons, a portable radio, and soda and wine bottles.

Image: an abstract truncated view of the American Midwest as seen from above; centering around the Great Lakes in shades of evening blue and gold. In glowing white text is the names of the many native tribes alongside bright flowing dotted lines indicating perhaps ley lines or other flowing unearthly forces.
The sky curves in perspective with the earth and dark clouds part to reveal constellations unknown.

An image of four small figures with large ears, horns, and reflective-eyes lounging on an abandoned car in an overgrown field. The cars bumper is bent and the windshield is broken. Some of the figures wear clothes of woven grass, and they all have long prehensile tails. Ivy grows over part of the car.

The way ahead may not be clear but I still know what path I’ll follow.

If you need to take a moment and stand in the breeze, looking up through the autumn branches of a young tree— this is as close as I can bring you.

I really like that research for a story can motivate me to try new things and appreciate the experiences!

I know, I’ve been quiet for a while, but I promise, I’ve been working! First drafts of Volume 3 & 4 are complete & I’m editing now.(They should be released May/June).

My favorite blueberry bush this season is this spicy bluecrop that took residence in the rows of jersey bushes and is absolutely thriving. I love coming across her every time I go picking.

Ginn Hale @ginnhale.bsky.social · 18/07/2025

Came across them in broad daylight & decided that I ought to stand guard to ward off the fascinated jays and crows. Normally I’m not an absolute sucker for every snail I meet— but it’s Pride month and I can’t help but want to protect love in all its diversity.

Cherries this week. Blueberries next week— it’s tiring work right now, but when winter comes, I’ll be glad I did it.

Just over the rise, there’s a small stone bench beneath the feral apple tree. It’s a peaceful place & you are very welcome to rest there with me.

I like to imagine that I’ve just caught this “tree” in the midst of a swim & it’s frozen in place to fool me into thinking it’s a common botanical being and not some sort of nixie. 😉

Ginn Hale @ginnhale.bsky.social · 03/05/2025

It’s a quiet place, where the frogs are singing and you can rest for a while.

A tiny bit of world building for Price of a Thousand Blessings series— I laughed at myself for including fictional coins for size reference, which kind of defeats the whole point. 😂😂
