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:

I’m delighted to open submissions for my anthology, "Passing Strange: Queer Weird Arthurian Tales"! We're looking for stories and non-fiction that include: an LGBTQ+ main character; a speculative fiction or alternate history element; and an Arthurian tale or re-visited Arthurian element.

Stand-alone artworks, or offers to illustrate a story, are also welcome!

Please check out the Submissions page of my website:

When you're reading and someone assumes that means you're doing nothing and they can interrupt you.
