Had a handful of homophobic/transphobic messages here today because I’ve created a Starter Pack supporting LGBTQIA+ writers. Please follow and share this pack to help keep Bluesky the positive place it promises to be. go.bsky.app/UD2Hf7W

There are, as always, wonderful things that happen as part of our Xmas Appeal every year so can I say a *HUGE* thank you to Gofundme for donating €1,500 to this year's appeal in aid of the DSPCA and UNICEF Ireland's Gaza and Lebanon appeal! Next stop is five grand. www.gofundme.com/f/therickosh...

I'm working on a map for a book at the moment, but I can't show it yet. In the meantime, for #PortfolioDay, here are some other maps I've done for books, three of mine, one for @julietemckenna.bsky.social. If you'd like something like this done for your story or game, get in touch. #Fantasy #Maps
A black and white map of the route taken by Alcock and Brown in their flight across the Atlantic, from Newfoundland to Ireland. The drawing also includes the five biplanes featured in the story.A piece of land extends from the left ending at the Esh, a sea of gas, on the right. The top of the land is labelled Noran, ruled by a city state centred around three huge trees, and the bottom is split between the Myunan Territories and Braskhia on the coast. The very middle is the Gulf of Braskhia. There is a drawing of a three-hulled sailing ship on the Esh. There's a compass in the top right-hand corner.A black and white illustration from my book, Under Fragile Stone, showing a mountain region called the Rudstone Mountains on the left and a forest on the right, marked the Reisenick Territories. There is a swamp in the top right-hand corner. The more open space at the bottom is marked the Myunan Territories. There's a compass in the top right-hand corner.A map from Juliet McKenna's series set in the Aldabreshin Archipelago, which is labelled at the top below a compass, along side an ancient Roman style ship with oars along the side. There's a similar ship at the bottom and a whale's tail rising up in the bottom left-hand corner. The archipelago is made up of dozens of islands with their territorial waters outlined in grey.
