Devouring Fortune book cover. Features a woman with folded arms on the cover. Her arms are crossed. She has straight black hair and her skin is light brown. She has a haunted expression. She is dressed in a white priestess outfit with wrapped bandages up her arms. Behind her lurks a monstrous skeleton whispering in her ear. They are surrounded by red flowers.

I'm happy to say today is the day for the book cover reveal of DEVOURING FORTUNE! @jeleynai.bsky.social did an incredible job on the illustration, I'm in awe.

For fans of Tanith Lee and A.K. Larkwood, about bargains gone wrong.

an image of an audiobook cover that shows a group of pirates on the deck of a ship. It includes a human man with a tricorn hat and blond beard and ponytail, he holds a cutlass, and a half-orc with a black topknot carrying jugs of rum, a half-elf female mage in a blue robe with a staff, and a a dwarf with an eye patch. The title reads "The Curse of Dragon Tail Island" and the text announces an audiobook.

SPOILER: Rill Lord Art As I do for every book, I've commissioned illustrations for The Rill Lord. These are from Jamie Noble. Fair warning though: these illustrations depict scenes certain to spoil key events in the book! I...

Put up a new blog post showcasing some art. ☺️ The art itself could be considered spoilers for THE RILL LORD, so consider yourself warned if you want to avoid those.

I got too excited and didn't give the most important info! This book will be 2.99 internationally after this 99 cent wide sale, so if you want a deal, check it out now 😎.

This is kind of informal, so I'm thinking, 2 weeks? Maybe longer.

I kinda think everything I write is for the love of the game? Like, I try to make my stories entertaining and meaningful to others, but only because they're entertaining and meaningful to me first. Might be why I'm releasing a revised version of a portal/epic/paranormal/urban fantasy...thing soon πŸ˜†

Underneath the book, the text reads: β€œAvailable widely. Read free on Kobo Plus”.

Wishes, A Rai Ascendant Story by Angela Boord: A black cover featuring a drawing of an amber-eyed wolf looking out at the reader

1982. Magic is a thing of fairytales and fantasy, but for Tresa, it's a dangerous reality. In constant fear of the destruction even her best wishes can cause, she's been forced to live a solitary, silent life, keeping everyone at a distance to protect them. When the mysterious stranger she’s been dreaming about for years walks into the bookstore where she works, Tresa is torn between her desire to stay safe and the temptation to speak to him. He's about to turn her carefully guarded world upside down. But if she breaks through her shell, what havoc will her wishing unleash?

Just sent a 30k Rai Ascendant novella off to my copy editor and now I have to figure out what to do with myself until tomorrow?
