I'm slowly chewing through my WIP, but page 12 is my favorite section so far. From Flowers & Entomology, my dryads are unfortunately disturbing Whispers' human neighbor with science. #SnippetShare #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #SFF

Snippet from Flowers and Entomology:

"Sexual cannibalism?" Zinnian made a face. Expressions were a good way to decipher a human's feelings, and this human was uncomfortable.

Whispers said, "The females don't eat the whole male. Just the head."

"Uhhh…" Zinnian almost spilled his cup of tea.
Whispers explained, "We're going to put a collar on the male."

"Kinky," remarked the human.

Kinky was a concept that dryads didn't share with animals. Despite rumors to the contrary, sharing pollen was better for the plants a dryad's seed stone had bonded to. To procreate, Whispers kind actually...

Whispers' inner monologue was interrupted when Sylvia asked Zinnian, "Who made your camera?"

Zinnian frowned, but he found a smile before answering. "I should admit now that I broke up with Olivia. My boss. Well, former boss I suppose. I don't think she'll want me wandering the tunnels now."

"I'm sorry to hear that," Sylvia softly said. "Does anyone else make cameras? A watchmaker perhaps?"

"I'm not sure," Zinnian replied.

Whispers had already gone to the kitchen to grab crackers and bright red jelly. He then scuttled back into the living room and set the treats down. "Eat," Whispers demanded.

Scooping up some jelly, Zinnian had to ask, "Is this prickly pear?"

"Of course not! I won't bear fruit for another sixty days. It's strawberry," Whispers declared. "I'll deliver some next door when they're ripe."

Sylvia happily tried some.

Zinnian sighed and took a bite. After swallowing, he said, "It's a little weird you feed people your body parts."

"I must feed the pears to something! Otherwise, they simply fall off. I can't eat them all."

Something he said unnerved his human guest again. At least Sylvia was happily munching away at crackers.

I sometimes wonder how many deaths were caused by Andrew Wakefield. It's less common since leaving Florida, but I'm still anxious about bringing up my autism or vaccines in public. It's still not uncommon to find folks who repeat what someone they respect said down social media's game of telephone.

Ahem, I believe my first self published books turned 10 years today. And, well, I didn’t have anythihg special planned. Yes, I had the new cover for book 1 and only 3 people have seen it (and loved it). Unsure if a reveal would be worthwhile when I'd like to improve the text a bit. 😅

Being neurodivergent is noticing the tiny problem nobody else sees, mentioning it three times, getting told you're overthinking, and then watching the exact problem become everyone's emergency six weeks later. Suddenly everyone has noticed it. Somehow nobody remembers you noticed it first.

#AwesomeCharacters I'm fade to black on sex. Thalia would think that's not fair and write it out in vivid, if not corny, detail. At this point, it may not be with her current LIs or perhaps even both of them. Depends on her mood. Either way, it will be full of embellishment.

So a local Flock camera caught fire today. Turns out they're just like fancy phones on a stick, but left out in the hot desert and, now rainy, elements. There was a woman at Acacia Park's Sunday market trying to get signatures to ban Flock's from here. Glad I met her. #ColoradoSprings

What? Me, jump on a fuckin' bandwagon to market a book? Never! Don't ask me how long this took to make in Krita, along with looking up actual 1910's broadsheets in the Library of Congress. 💙 My store: ko-fi.com/rebeccaevita... 📚 Universal Link: books2read.com/u/mvw8Pe #BookSky #SFF #Fantasy #Book

A broadsheet I made for the hell of it in Krita to market my silly book. It says:

Shadowfront
(artful designs)
Missing
Sorcerers, Arcanafauna
In the Imperial Capital of Grace, blue dust and silver vines were discovered at the scenes of every disappearance! Money, valuables were not stolen.

Emil Bronze - Heart of Oak @tangurple.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Count me in. I can’t do it well, but I like trying build off of it with my attempt at a newspaper clipping #BackerKit: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e... #BookBazaar26 #BookSky #Bookish #Books #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

A newspaper-styled promotional for the book Heart of Oak. The art feature’s a reference sheet for Oakengrove by @Artcher, and the book cover by @Caranraug

VOLUME 12 | ISSUE 27
* @TANGURPLE.BSKY.SOCIAL
GELWOOD INQUIRER
Beyond the walls of our cities. outside the imaginary borders of our kingdoms, lies an entity with the power to usurp everything.
What can be done to stop it from irreversibly changing everything we've ever known? Who has the power to prevent it?
Support the Adventurer's Guild efforts to depose this false god

* THE FIRST OF MANY *
SOMETHING NEW
Estimated to be 400 pages large, Heart of Oak is the first iteration of Oakengrove's heroic story against the forces of evil and idle corruption. When everything looks bleak and the gods abandon their world, who else is there to look to? Certainly another god isn't the answer. Perhaps our kings, chieftains, emperors, but their focus isn't on making life better, it's on their legacies, their artificial borders and maps painted with the blood of the poors.
But what if this god was different? What if this one cared?

The visual evidence of use here tells a very obvious story of how much I adored this book as a child (and well into my teens). Finally getting to read it with one of my own children, and no wonder I loved it so, Susan Cooper’s writing is brilliant.

Shareholders in tech confuse me. Time and time again, AI is proven to be smoke and mirrors, from Meta's hidden call centers, humans pretending to be AI, to the regurgitation of stolen books and art without original creativity. Hype sells. Facts don't.

#AwesomeCharacters Halloween would be a Navikulan (enemy) holiday, but Thalia wouldn't care. It sounds amazing! Her favorite activity would be handing out treats, eating sweets, and performing tricks for kids. Without said holiday, she'd try to stay indoors and cozy with hot tea during fall.

I just clicked publish on a new #spicy #scifi story: Reyna’s Royal Rescue. www.amazon.com/dp/B0HKY4CRPY A queen is taken prisoner by the T'karans. All rescue attempts fail until her loyal chef comes to her rescue! Blurb in the alt text below. It's free to read if you have KU, or $0.99. 💙📚🚀🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Cover image for my new story: Reyna's Royal Rescue.

----

Two months in an alien dungeon can change a woman. When Queen Reyna is captured by the ruthless T'karan empire, she survives alone on a bare metal platform with only her wits and a secret intimate device. But when her guards throw a battered and beaten man into her cell, she expects a fellow victim, not the palace sous chef. Caspian is no ordinary cook. He's a former spy with a few tricks up his sleeve (if he actually had any sleeves, since the T'karans have taken his clothes). He's on an unauthorized mission with a wild extraction plan. He shares details of the plan during a passionate performance under the watchful eyes of their captors.

Stripped of her royal vestments, the heat between the Queen and her rescuer ignites into an unbridled explosion. But their escape plan seems to shatter when they are dragged for interrogation into the private office of the K'taran ship's commander. Captain Khlepha is a fierce diminutive officer who rules her ship with a discipline stick and a calculating mind. Surrounded by a ship full of enemies, Reyna and Caspian must navigate a desperate, high-stakes gambit of manipulation with the beautiful alien commander. Winning their freedom will require a scandalous price neither Terran ever saw coming.

#AwesomeCharacters Until I joined Bluesky, I didn't know what a bisexual disaster was, but Thalia is 100% a bi disaster and I love her, even if love and death are her greatest struggles. To clarify, romantic love is trouble. Everything this mad woman does is in the name of other kinds of love.

Thalia posed on a fancy stool, hiding her breasts with a paper cut out heart. She's in 1910s bloomers and a smile otherwise. Her boys are kicked to the side. Thalia also has visible animal tattoos.
