This was about half an hour after totality. The last decent image I got of it before it disappeared behind the studio over my garage. #Astronomy #Astrophotography

Black text, green background, “media” highlighted pink "What's on Lakshmana?" | stretch out my muscles, warming them up before whatever adventure Johee's about to try to drag me on and wherever she's dragging me to. It's so bothersome when Johee uses Earthan names for planets, instead of designations. I have no idea where Lakshmana's meant to be. It'd be nice to at least know what we're talking about before convincing Johee not to do it. Better to talk Johee down before she gets in trouble. Or worse, before she talks me into using my limited security knowledge to break the rules, as only Johee can. "Our destiny!" Johee bounds off the bed and gathers up some of my most important items. The picture of me, her, and Daeni, posing in front of a screen that showed the lush blues and greens of planet Z1597-09. The portable vid screen Daeni sent me when he was away so I could watch MEDIA he had access to back when he was on Earthan ships. A case full of the personal products women are allowed. Notably, my pistol and communicator are left untouched as Johee throws odds and ends into an already stuffed bag. "We can't bring those," she says, when I point them out. "Come on. Daeni made an appointment for us. We can't miss it!"

Oona’s used to getting dragged into adventures by her sister, but she’ll never guess where this one will lead

“McIntosh admirably declares what we should already know about memoir: the best of them erase the self in the name of something more profound. Here that something is an unsentimental kindness for the world of literature.”

“In Ernesta, when McIntosh's title character declares: 'Music has pictures,' it instantly brings to mind this poet's astounding use of language that creates visual landscapes of great clarity.“

There is a hard limit to human imagination. This story will take you far beyond that limit, beyond the fabric of reality itself. In this book you will find characters that can: -manipulate luck, odds and circumstances (the ODDS WEAVER, Vivian Amberville) -remove, store and control physical pain (the PAIN PUSHER, Wolfgaar) -strip both objects and subjects of their shadow (the SHADOW STEALER, Djaar) -reduce the physical world to concepts and abstractions (the CONCEPT BREAKER, Gold) -create shifts in perception and/or gravity (the REALITY SHIFTERS, Yuresne and Circense) -pluck sound out of thin air and store it inside containers (the THUNDER BRINGER, Antuun) -absorb, hold and release darkness (the VOID WEAVER formally known as Allspice)

I still cannot get this mind-blowing book out of my head. ("The Book of Chaos")

Epic dark fantasy, complex magic systems, figure-8 time loops, huge cast of grey characters, and a plot more tightly-woven than a cosmic tapestry.

@louiseblackwick.com's books are what it feels like to chew 5 gum.💙📚

I always appear at the table when a plate of food is placed there. My owner says I can't eat from everything but I always get a little. By the way, she sometimes calls me Fatty because I eat too much. I would rather say that I am a committed supporter of the food industry.🐈‍⬛
