What's in the box? Even the staff doesn't know for sure, but once the tournament starts, it will be unleashed. Are the other players or the Unda-Realm itself ready for the beast? Find out in Thirteen Down.
Second slide is what is on everyone's minds as the games begins.

This light in the darkness doesn't represent hope, Pyrah will be heating things up in Thirteen Down. Can the other players survive the infernal inferno?

To the man with the hammer do the other contestants look like competition, or simply nails that need to be pounded? Find out in Thirteen Down.
This snippet goes with the character art that I posted earlier. The inspiration for them is this prop I made a while ago.

I like the one on the right.
He is.
What would you do for freedom? Trifixie knows the only thing standing between herself and escape is the other players. Can any of them stand to this master of eldrich energies? Find out in Thirteen Down.
These cuffs are what inspired the character

Some play for survival, others for riches. Gorok, he is in the Thirteen Down for carnage. Will the other players survive his dark desires?
If you saw my last post you already know how to root for an orc, so drop a 🤘 for Gorok.

In Thirteen Down, the hand motion that people are doing when they are cheering for the orc contestant is actually just ASL for orc. Thanks to @michellefranklin.bsky.social , the author of "The Orc who Saved..." series, for demonstrating the sign.

This isn't the kind of place to hold back and Ashclaw is going to get to let his primal instincts out. The bastelie is going to be prowling the arena, are the other players opponents or prey? Find out in Thirteen Down.
Bastelie are catfolk, so here is a cat.

The arena of Saulrosh Dun is home to many creatures, including the Burrow-cur. Packs of these bat-faced hounds stalk the shadows waiting to pick off any unsuspecting players during the Thirteen Down.

This isn't a fight, to some of the players it's simply a hunt for the most dangerous prey. What will happen when the competition ends up in Sir Reginald's crosshairs? Find out in Thirteen Down.

Most players want to avoid death, but to Rigoria it's just a recruitment phase for her master plan. This Dragonfolk is going to be raising more than just the stakes in the Thirteen Down.

I decided to jump on the #namestack trend, it was a fun way to look at my collection books in a different way than I usually do. What is in your namestack and which letter was the hardest to find?

A time saving tip for authors: make sure that you are formatting your book in a standard size the first time around, unless you want to spend an afternoon reformatting 300+ pages. How are your WIPs going?

I remember playing that one on Encarta.
If you want a job done right, you need to do it yourself. That is why Rilness is entering the Thirteen Down. This tournament is simply a grand arena after all. Do the other players stand a chance again the gladiatrix? Find out in Thirteen Down.

I thought I'd kick things off with the first characters mention in the book description; the gladiatrix. Here is Rilness as imagined by @biginsanehappy.bsky.social the creative mind behind the Barb and Haunted Safari.

Cool, what's the title?
I'd like to hear the title of your #wip and also what it means. For mine it's the name of the tournament that the book is based around, where thirteen players are brought down to the Unda-Realm to compete for the Drow's amusement as well as their own survival.

The artists I commissioned have returned some great stuff inspired by my upcoming book. Next week I will start start introducing you to the the world of Thirteen Down through the work of those artists and some snippets from the story itself. Random doodle

How hands on are you with the design of your #wip ? Today I'm working on a mockup of my book with my cover artist and calculating the size to try and figure out what spine design will look like. Cover reveal coming soon.

How is your #wipwednesday going? For me today a big step in my writing journey; putting the manuscript into InDesign and formatting everything. It turns out my book will be around 300 pages, which is a little more than I expected it to be.

Does your #WIP include the use of any footnotes? There is at least one point in my upcoming Thirteen Down where I know the readers may need a little extra context so I will be using them, but definitely not as frequently as Richard Adams.

Hi. Current I'm working on a dark fantasy book revolving around a death tournament called Thirteen Down.
During my edits I noticed a repeating error that now has me rechecking my punctuation. How do you stay in an inspired headspace while doing the more menial writing tasks? I listen to artistic people creating, like BrokenTerrain, to keep my own creativity up

What do you do during breaks from your writing? I've been doing a lot of editing on my book this week, so I decided to take a little break and play a horror Guess Who game @alexwhitebean.bsky.social made for me.

What do you listen to while you are working? I'm back to editing my book today and it just so happens that my favorite horror podcast, Spooky Chicks & Horror Flicks, released a new episode. Perfect timing.
