Finished reading THE BURIAL TIDE. The first half is a bit slow, but the back half is phenomenal. I will definitely be rereading this one. 💙📚

Happy Banned Books Week AND Anti-Prime Day! We've spent this week fighting with Amazon, who blocked Issue 3... because a stylized illustration of a statue = porn, at least if you're a queer publication. The best way to support us is directly.

My short story for Oct is here! WORKING DOGS is a queer spec fic western with ghosts. A stranger arrives at Case's ranch with a bullet wound and three vengeance-driven hunters on his tail as winter settles in 🍂❄️ Part 1/2 www.patreon.com/ArdenPowell/... Part 2/2 www.patreon.com/ArdenPowell/...

Story excerpt:
Bears dozed in their dens; a wolf pack streaked across the plains, their cries cutting through the frozen air like silver wires; bison and aurochs ploughed through the snow to paw up the vegetation underneath, their breath steaming from huge nostrils like a bellows, icicles clinging to their beards; painted mustangs thundered through the hills on their way to thinner snows; mammoths came down from the far north tundra; they looked like moving mountains against the horizon, their shaggy domed heads and sloping backs crusted in snow. The days passed in a blink and the nights stretched out in spans of cold galaxies as the wind howled in the chimney. Jack cut firewood as Case hauled feed and hay to the stable to keep the horses fit despite the pastures’ scarcity. When blizzards stormed in, they passed the time in bed by the firelight, breathing against each other like animals in their burrow as the snow stuck to the windows and barricaded the door.

The ironic thing, of course, is that "Woke 1" was the exact opposite of the Witch Trials. There were no actual witches. That's why the Witch Trials were bad.

One does not simply carve a pumpkin. Hand-painted Eye of Sauron on a real pumpkin 👁️🔥No airbrushing, just brushes and blending. #LOTR #Halloween #Art #BookSky

Pumpkin painting of the Eye of Sauron from The Lord of the Rings book trilogy. A near black coloring with a gradual gradient of deep reddish orange from the bottom of the pumpkin, prominently highlighting the glowing eye. The pumpkin sits on a wooden bench in front of plants and a mini rock waterfall in the background. Traditional art and brush techniques were used to create the effects.

Oh: I really can’t emphasize enough how useful it is to check — literally right now, do it. Likely, it’s peace of mind in a couple of minutes. At worst, you still have time (barely) to remedy it.

October is for country walks to watch the colors change.

The curve of a country road under a deep blue sky of whispy clouds. Tall trees tower over the left side of the road. A field of golden tall grass sits off to the right. Evergreens disappear back into the horizon line.

A green field with bushes just starting to show their autumn colors with tall evergreens behind them, all under a blue sky with gauzy ribbon clouds.
