This week I'm moving my website host, registrar, & newsletter. I think I have all my ducks in a row, so the transition should be smooth and quick. But, should any duck escape the line, there might be some downtime for my website. Hopefully not. I like to think me and the ducks are friends.

it's bi visibility day! there are 237 days until BLOOD OF QUEENS hits the shelves! is it bi? is it queer? is it both of those and more? look, all I'm gonna say: Dani's no Lady, Matherin sure is a Prince, and Zivriel? well, Zivriel has two hands >:D

A graphic introducing the cover mockup of the book Blood of Queens by Macey Levington (a dark grey fake cover with white title text), surrounded by lighter grey tropes. These include: historical fantasy, disaster OT3, is it murder if they only die a little?, alt hist with a twist, be gay do crime, accidental death god Henry VIIIth, and stealing from necromancers is a deathly affair. There is a friendly waving skeleton. The novel is comped as 'Lies of Locke Lamora meets Gideon the Ninth by way of Pride & Prejudice & Zombies.'
