Couldn't agree more. I hope that nasty white nonsense stays far away from me.

In our house, we've started calling him Temu Geralt. We are very cruel.

Maybe we need a World Nightmare Day?

still think we all should get a bunch of blowup dolls and helium to freak out the people waiting for the rapture [Pictures of a ton of blowup dolls filled with helium soaring into the sky looking like people being raptured]

Wait, stupid people think The Rapture is about to occur in a couple days?! WE ALL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO ONE OF THE FUNNIEST THINGS EVER:

Okay, timeline cleanse. 🖤

Everyone who sees this post, quote post 5 things that make you happy:

- Coffee in my spooky travel cup
- 80's spec-fic book covers
- Watching movies with my kids
- Planning my next tattoo
- Old-style websites (with pixelated gifs!)

Thank you! 😊 The tentacles actually erupt from a daemon's face... The visual was just too good not to write. I'm hoping this is the first in a series. I have lots of ideas for a second book, but I'll see how this one goes first.

The cover of Arcanoforge: Midnight Metropolis by Caroline Barnard-Smith. Long purple tentacles reach towards a glowing neon city.

Don't eat that snow.

September happened but my kids don't start school until Friday, which means we're trapped in a liminal void where structure is a myth.

Drop an old person you're going to turn into in the future.

I might be there already if I'm honest.

If you see this post a character with white hair.

I don't know if I'm more impressed with the mod poet or the fact that you're writing in a gallery. That sounds fun and I'm jealous.

a woman is making a funny face and saying i 'm old ! ALT: a woman is making a funny face and saying i 'm old !

My kid felt sick at school today, so I've brought them home and now Freaky Friday is blaring in my earhole while I'm trying to edit. It's the Lindsay Lohan version, so it could be worse (yes, I will die on that hill!)

Now that song's in my head, but I'm not mad about it!

I haven't got any new books to include this time around, but I highly encourage anyone who does to submit! I'll definitely be poking around for some bargains when it starts.

A 3D cover of the book Arcanoforge: Midnight Metropolis by Caroline Barnard-Smith sits beneath a quote from the novel: "She’d found two boot-shaped marks seared into her ribcage. They could have been commonplace bruises or a bad reaction to Flannigan’s pizza, but they'd been enough to force her into the fetid hellhole that doubled as Traci-Lynn’s storefront."

So pretty!

Text reads: It's too hot in the UK! So why not cool down by reading about a shield-maiden with icy powers? Below is the cover of WINDBORN - all on a background of snow-covered trees and mountains

It's a very warm week in the UK - pushing above 30 for us here today - so why not read WINDBORN, a Norse-inspired fantasy set in winter with a shield-maiden that has ice powers!
What better way to experience the cold?

I also use way too many em dashes. Why does ai have to poop all over my favourite punctuation mark??

Just another beautiful July day on the North Devon coast. 🍃
