In a spot of good news, I finally finished this round of edits on the third book in my Stone Age epic science fantasy series! Now it gets sent to the probably-final round of betas, and my editor is already looking forward to getting it in a few months!

My wife has had this hobby project recently, where she’s been making a Mari Lwyd puppet, with a 3d print replica of the traditional horse’s skull as the base. For the first version this looks great, but she’s already planning adjustments for the next one!

Note: the Mari Lwyd is a south wales tradition dating back hundreds of years. You can find more about it on Wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mari_Lwyd

Happy Winter Solstice!
Winter is officially here in the northern hemisphere, but it doesn't necessarily mean you like it. Though reading with a hot beverage under a blanket is nice, isn't it? When you read, do you try to escape winter or embrace it?

Either way, I got you covered!
Escape winter with By the Pact or embrace it with Humanborn. Both are free now & available in all the online stores:
