Happy Print Book Day to Clang! The forge is open! My debut novel is live to the world. I hope y'all enjoy it. I describe it as a cozy fantasy novel with teeth. Also full of satire, snark, and trauma informed goodness. a.co/d/07XtdQSc #cozyfantasy #fantasybooks #foundfamily

Promo graphic on a black crumpled-paper background. White handwritten text at top reads "Available now in Kindle and paperback on Amazon." Below it, the cover of CLANG! by Ember Ashworth: a red-haired blacksmith in a leather apron raises a hammer in one hand and holds a glowing blade in the other, framed by a ring of fire, with a massive dragon's head looming behind her. Title "CLANG!" in gold at the bottom, with the tagline "A Phoenix Forge Novel."

It's here. CLANG! is live. 🔥 Cozy fantasy about a forge, a found family, and a master smith who refuses to be priced. There's a cat, and he has opinions. Magic swords come from somewhere, and this is the somewhere. Kindle now, paperback next week. The forge is open. emberashworth.com

The cover of CLANG! A red-haired dwarven smith in a leather apron stands at a glowing anvil, one arm raised mid-swing with a hammer, the other holding tongs that grip a red-hot blade. Fire curls around her in a ring. Behind her in the smoke and flame, the huge shadowed head of a dragon looms, one eye glowing orange. The title CLANG! runs across the bottom in large gold letters.

All those enchanted blades and legendary weapons? Someone's gotta make them. She's snarky, brutally honest, and secretly the kindest person in the room. CLANG! A Phoenix Forge Novel. Coming this summer.

I have a strong framework for her but for the most part they are not rules

Style: painterly digital, warm forge lighting (oranges/magentas/deep purples), detailed cluttered workshop environments. NOT photorealistic—illustrated but with weight and texture. Muscular femme protagonist energy.

Not surprising at all. The theological frameworks that try to integrate platonic and Neoplatonic concepts all need cognitive dissonance inorder to hold them together.

Howdy! I’ve got a new @slate.com story, about some really fascinating work researcher @cantonwiner.bsky.social is doing around asexuality and a concept he coined called “gender detachment”

slate.com

A Researcher Was Studying How to Classify Gender—and Found a Startling New Answer

Turns out there’s more to the gender spectrum than we’d imagined.
