in case you missed it, i had a novelette published in @kaleidotrope.bsky.social yesterday, go check it out! “The Beasts of Altain” is dear to my heart. as the product of multiple cultures, there’s a sense of displacement, but also divided loyalty. this story is about that and also a cool beastie 🐅

The news comes to Asahar on the wings of bees first. They’ve always been the quickest to bring him information from across Altain, transmitting it to each other through their dances in exponentially growing spirals.

Alright, trying this again! The cover reveal for Trollbreath Magazine issue #8, Summer 2026! Original artwork by Vassilios Bayiokos which is entitled "Silent Night in Neverland." Available on June 1st. Subscribers can download it the ebook version. magazine.trollbreath.com/membership-a...

The cover for the upcoming summer 2026 issue of Trollbreath Magazine. The background art is by Vassilios Bayiokos and called "Silent Night in Neverland." It's a splashing swirl of lots of dark colors, mainly blues and some reds, specs of other shades. Towards the center, the dark splashes give way to lighter colors, orange and yellow. In the brighter part is the silhouette of a tousle haired child. An arms length away at the height of his head is a bright pale yellow, almost white, star. At the lower right are the names: Mar Vincent, Devan Barlow, Louis Inglish Hall, and J. Peri, who are featured in this issue.

Cover for issue 7, Spring 2026, of Trollbreath Magazine. The background art by Aimee Cozza shows a slim figure in a white astronaut suit. They are floating, but the are dramatically arched back as though some violent force has taken them. From the back of their helmet, a black swirl of planets and nebulae spews out and spreads wide.
