For all the sapphics who would like to have Scary Dog Privileges (even if she's a little crazy) #femininerage #folkhorror senkaheksum.carrd.co#pub

Color, illustrated book cover. The title is "The Price of Peace" by Senka Heksum. The illustration depicts two women beside a fireplace, one is shorter with wavy black hair and white eyes, being hugged by a taller woman with blonde, braided hair and scars on her face. The shorter woman's expression is serene, while the taller woman's is intense. A shadow cast by the taller woman has the shape of a wolf's head

A lot of writers, readers, booksellers, etc. on the website are talking about how book bans have a disproportionate impact on living BIPOC/queer/trans authors, and it's true. But a lot of people don't know where to find those books. That's why, this year, I'm going to make a thread for you!

I'd like to once again remind you for #BannedBooksWeek that Huckleberry Finn and Animal Farm don't need you to go out of your way to read them. Instead, support a book, and author, who a ban can actually hurt.

A collection of frogs for you in these trying times.

Five digital drawings of "frogs". One is inspired by an Ouroboros, another seems to have a carved turnip for a head, one is a somewhat scrungly witch, another wears a flowery shirt while drinking from a coconut, and finally one of them is "Bimble". Bimble looks like if a rock tried very hard to be a frog and almost succeeded.

So far this month, I've sold the equivalent of a book a day (woo!), so thinking that if I sell 31 books in October, I'll write a short story set in the world of TETK! I've seen a few friends doing this and it's a cool idea that also may help get me writing. D :

An Abyssinian roller that is also a little book. It begins: “Why is a roller like a writing desk? The need for fire and acacia, both. One for blood - the other, ink.” Written in India ink. - #SciArtSeptember Day 30: Carbon

A painted, cut-out paper bird in the shape of an Abyssinian roller. The bird has one wing folded back, which reveals a small booklet of pages under the wing. The underwing is brown and has uneven letters painted on it in another shade of brown reading, “Some small words about the medium of carbon.” The booklet pages are bright blue, like the bird, and the words inside are unclear. The bird rests on a wooden table top.

SURPRISE! My new story, THE LINDWORM'S WIFE, drops 10/1! 💙📚 An erotic folktale retelling! When Runa is chosen to marry the monstrous crown prince, she'll do anything it takes to survive her wedding night... even bare her body & soul to a wild, ravenous beast. elizamares.itch.io/the-lindworm...

Background is Cadmus and Harmonia (detail), 1877, by Evelyn De Morgan. The painting depicts a brown-scaled serpent curling up a pale woman's body. Her face is cut off just above the mouth, but we can see her pale-red hair spilling down one naked shoulder. Her hand sits atop the snake's coiled body in a tender, stroking gesure.

Behind and to the right of her, an older man with grey hair and a beard dressed in black gambeson with a white trim and a black cloak while he holds a raven. The background is a greyish blue with a paler circle haloing them. A watermark reads NushDeco.

Lukewarm genre take: the desire for precision when tonally sorting or categorizing books has led to a trend in avoiding categorizing something as part of a broad genre (e.g. "fantasy"). Sometimes a book is best categorized as just "fantasy" vs. grimdark or cozy. I think a discomfort
