3. Heliotrope, Palmer Pickering. I met and spoke with Palmer after her excellently moderated panel. She gave me a copy of her epic sword and sorcery fantasy to review and introduced me to many others in the community. My gratitude cannot be overstated. Thank you @palmerpickering.bsky.social !

Dark Town review: "Author Palmer Pickering has a clear enthusiasm for the fantasy RPG world that comes through in the warmth and energy of the narrative. Dark Town is a highly recommended read for fans of the LitRPG genre and is an exemplary work of how it should be done." -K.C. Finn

I just finished the first draft of "Anaximenes," Book 3 of the Star Children Saga. Whew. Book 3 of a trilogy is hard!!! But I'm pretty pleased with the end result. I was able to add lots of new stuff while tying up the various threads. Now begins the long process of editing, polishing, etc.

My husband is an artist who makes orreries (clockwork planetary models) out of metal and glass. When I was struggling to finish my novel, he made me a deal: if I finished the book, he'd make me an orrery based on the world of my novel. It's freaking BEAUTIFUL.
