It's been a while since I've done serialized fiction...and since I've done an October spooky-season freebie. This year, I'm doing both, with a free long gothic novella for October, e-serialized here: www.kelleyarmstrong.com/ravens-moor/

Well, well, well. P. made quite a find on the sidewalk when he was on his way to work this morning. (I've masked and painted the back with PVA as a precaution in case of asbestos, we can strip it later.)

Once again, I had the immense pleasure of painting a character for Liza Grimm. This is Pulta, a strong character who perfectly complements Liza's breathtaking world-building. I highly recommend checking out her marvellous books!

LRT I absolutely despise the combo of "content" and "consuming" when it comes to creative things - that just sound so corporate and dehumanizing. You're an artist, not a brand. You're a viewer, not pigs at a trough. But more importantly, you're human beings who deserve to be treated like such.

Impressed by the fact that I'm still here against all the odds, but thoroughly disappointed at the lack of success that I expected to have by the time I reached middle age (and you know when I was 20 I would have thought that that was like, 40). So, sorry younger self. It wasn't from lack of effort.

Artists, show how you paint stars!

Digital painting of a male elf paladin. He is kneeling, a glowing sword in one hand and shield in the other. His hair is black with some white strands in the front. His armor is dark blue and looks like the night sky, details are golden, some glowing stones in it. Behind him is a stained glass with moon motifs and dark-blue walls with golden stars.

It's been a long time since I treated WoW like a second job, and I never thought I'd play another Blizzard game, but I'm seriously getting nostalgic with the World of Warcraft: Forever announcement. I seriously should not be considering a sub right now, but I am so tempted. :D

Rather than naming a single book, I'd have to say that Scholastic Book Fairs had the biggest effect on me becoming a lifelong reader. I'd read early, always loved books, but the book fair at school was exciting. This was aeons ago and they may have changed, but back in the day they were wonderful.

Look what just arrived! I'm so excited! My first real actual able-to-be-held copy of Quartz Storm! Available for purchase in October! If you can't wait that long, my ARC sign-up is available now: forms.gle/Z2BsiaypZETV... #booksky #readingcommunity #writingcommunity #fantasy #sff

Proof copy of Quartz Storm by me, LE Draig. It's a black, turquoise and gold ornate cover featuring stylised tree, daggers, campfire and fungi encased in a golden border.

The back of Quartz Storm, almost as ornate as the front.
Blurb: Safiya knows that this is no natural storm. Her sister's magic is unmistakeable. And this time she is too late to save her. Caught by the guards, Tasha is condemned to a fate worse than death: to produce powerful children in a marriage with the realm's deadliest assassin. Out of options, and desperate for help, Safiya is drawn deep into a web of coercion and betrayal. She must navigate a realm of dragons and elves, goblins and spies, and take down the rolling Mage Council...or she'll lose her sister forever.
