a banner for my solo exhibition. There's a crop of my oil painting "The Little Nun," featuring a child nun, a sunset scene and a rising moon, mountains, cactus, and bats. It reads "Lauren Raye Snow: EX VOTO" Opening Reception First Friday, March 6th 7-10pm, Soft Opening First Thursday, March 5th 6-9pm. Both events are free and open to the public. At Flight Gallery, 112R Blue Star San Antonio, TX 78204. This event was made possible by the City of San Antonio Department of Arts & Culture.

I haven't shared much about my art here on Bluesky for a while, but this week my solo exhibition will finally open after over a year of work.

I am going to link to organizations that I know for sure are helping trans Kansans. This thread will develop slowly as I either know people or will vet them.

At this point we have not heard from anyone being helped via relocation resources. These exist, but I assume they are overwhelmed.

Honing the Blade C. L. Clark is the author of the Magic of the Lost trilogy (The Unbroken, The Faithless, and The Sovereign), Ambessa: Chosen of the Wolf, and Fate's Bane.

If you read any of these and enjoyed, as always, please tell a friend, tell your favorite reviewing platform, and find me at my newsletter where I do a moderately brisk traffic in book recs and work-in-progress talk.

and finally, I kicked of 2025 with an explosive banger of a woman, Ambessa: Chosen of the Wolf, a prequel to the Arcane series that you might have watched on Netflix. (I recommend you read it in between watching seasons 1 and 2 for optimum oomf.)

I published the novella Fate’s Bane on the same day! Star-crossed sad swamp lesbians, if you’re looking for a story that’s slightly more tender and quicker to read than an entire trilogy.

And since we’re recapping—in 2025, I published the novel The Sovereign, which ended the epic drama that was Touraine and Luca’s big adventure and began with The Unbroken.

✅ series complete

Beneath Ceaseless Skies - Forgive Me, My Love, for the Ice and the Sea by C.L. Clark I stopped counting my steps across the ice after three hundred. I couldn’t distract myself from the thought of that gap closing between me and the ship. Between me and you. Issheth, always steps ahead...

my other pirate story, “Forgive Me My Love, for the Ice and the Sea.” You can listen to a podcast or read it!

always a pleasure when people find my short stories!
this one has a companion story, too—which is to say, set in the same world, roughly.

The Unbroken Check out The Unbroken - <b>On the far outreaches of a crumbling desert empire, two women--a princess and a soldier--will haggle over the price of a nation in this richly imagined, breath-taking sapph...

Excitingly, it’s worth noting that The Unbroken ebook is on sale for $2.99 in the US! Maybe in other places, too. And while yes, that means it is on sale at Amazon, it is also on sale at bookshop.org! So if you haven’t started the trilogy that includes straps, threesomes, and crumbling empires…well!
