(It probably doesn't help that a con-runner's brain does NOT work anymore on the saturday evening of the con)

knowledge I've ever had in my entire life just vanishes from my brain and it feels like I couldn't expertly rant about /any/ subject for 3 minutes 😔
I need to develop a new hyper-fixation in the next 12 months to have smth to write on the paper next year

And it is the highlight of the con watching people struggle to explain a subject they know nothing about (or don't even understand the words on the paper) & then have to invent random facts, cause everyone's always so funny with it, but every year when I have to write down a subject all the

We introduced this game at Luxcon last year where we round up all our literary guests & everyone has to write a subject on a piece of paper they're quite knowledgeable about (the more specific the better) & then everything gets pooled into a hat and you pick a random subject to talk about for 3 min.

Breaking News! ❤🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️

Collage of a book, a phone, and an ereader showing the same cover in front of a dark blue background. The book they show is A Blazing Bond by Audrey Martin, book 2 of The Heart Pyre. The cover shows a young woman with long, flowing, brown hair wearing a beige dress and a green veste looking to the left while clutching her pendant. Behind her are yellow lightning bolts glowing up in front of a blue background with red to pink flames. Text above and below the books read “A Blazing Bond – Book 2 of The Heart Pyre – Out Now!”

A Blazing Bond – book two of The Heart Pyre – is finally out!

You can find the book as an ebook and paperback from most major retailers (or it will show up soon). And if you want a signed paperback copy, let me know and I’ll send you one =)

Thank you 💕💕

Look for the book on your favourite retailer:

I wanted to thank Maria Tureaud and Rachel from Bard&Butter for their invaluable work editing this book and Mona May for the amazing cover. It was so lovely working with all of you once again!

A collage of the cover for A Blazing Bond by Audrey Martin, book 2 of The Heart Pyre, in front of a light blue background with a lot of texts with arrows around it. Black text around the cover reads: Low-Magic epic fantasy, steampunk, mystery, dual POV, rescue missions, reality warping, the dog is still the best boy and the fox is even more mysterious, old forgotten gods (now less forgotten), you've heard of mommy and daddy issues? get ready for sibling issues, queernormative world, the past coming to bit them in the ass, paternoster lift in a library! (this one's for the nerds)

"Rena refuses to mourn her sister. Maya has to have survived—somewhere in the grip of the Crow, a secretive order chasing the resurrection of a forgotten god. With her companions at her side, Rena sets out to find the truth, but the deeper they search, the more the world begins to unravel."

Thank you so much 💕 So glad to hear you enjoyed the first one 🥰

I feel like I've probably not read more classics than the ones I have read 😅😅

(Also just noticed I uploaded the versions without the arrows so ehm have a non-arrow arrow map I guess ☠️)

Thank you for 5 wonderful years ❤️

That is quite the lovely shade though! But yeah let's hope the next one will be a bit more vibrant :P

I guess pale yellow is progress 😅 and as long as you know what the problem was you can always improve :P

Oh you have attention problems? Name all the times you weren't paying enough attention

Stupid method of questionning someone

I've been paying more attention to these things and now I have a million examples that could fit but of course now it's too late....

I wish their method was more about writing a diary over a long period of time and not a questionnaire you can't prepare for in advance...

During my ADHD diagnosis the doc kept asking about me messing stuff up because of being distracted & asked for concrete examples which I couldn't really give because of all the memory problems (you know, the ones that ADHD creates...) so it never really felt like I fit their criteria but ever since

How did it turn out? 👀

Oh no :( hopefully it'll work out next time!!!

That is a lovely colour!!

My quest to specifically find fan merch for Senshi from Dungeon Meshi can continue! Our local anime con last weekend had a little but really not much

Also curious to know if fandom trends are different here than back home

EasterCon this year is in the same hotel as an anime con and it's a fun game trying to figure out which type of nerd the people I walk past are 👀

Also they let us use their vendor/artist hall so I can now lose twice as much money YAY 🎉
