Hand holding an older library book. Cover says “The Adrian Mole Diaries, by Sue Townsend.” A gold round sticker says, “Britain’s sensational bestseller 5 million copies sold.” There is an illustration on the bottom half of the cover. It depicts a hand holding a green pen writing in cursive on a lined piece of paper, “My father got the dog drunk on Ch.” The hand hasn’t completed the sentence yet.

Worth reading for a very British, very R-rated forefather to Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

TITLE: The Adrian Mole Diaries, Books 1 & 2

The Age System Wolves in this world age to adulthood at approximately eight years old, but can live up to ninety-five. They develop faster than the Makers did but live long enough that their relationships, histories, and wounds accumulate over a span comparable to a human life. Ages three through seven is equivalent to a human teenager — past puppyhood, not yet adult. Old enough to be taken seriously. Young enough that being taken seriously feels like a surprise.

Why are the wolves of Lycara smarter, longer-lived, and more magically sensitive than any wolf that came before them?

The answer is deeply buried thousands of years back.

🌑 MOONHEART — a xenofiction wolf fantasy coming soon. 🐺

#MGfantasy #MGlit #fantasy #booksky #furry #furrywriting #furrywriters

Lycara Lycara is a continent shaped like the head of a howling wolf. This is considered either a coincidence or a sign, depending on which pack you ask. The continent is dominated by five major pack territories arranged around a central sacred site: The Moonstone Grove The Grove is the largest surface deposit of moonstones in Lycara, where the magic is oldest and strongest and most visible. No pack controls it. Every pack wants to. This has been the source of every major conflict in recorded history. The world is old, but the civilization built on it is relatively new. What came before — the Makers, their wars, their weapons, their extinction — exists in ruins, fragments and the oral histories of the Hollowfen Wanderers, who remember things no archive was ever built to hold.

From above, the continent is shaped like the head of a howling wolf. 🐺

This is Lycara — the world of MOONHEART, a xenofiction wolf fantasy coming soon.

Feel free to follow my dedicated account for my upcoming story "MOONHEART" — a xenofiction wolf fantasy

Follow along for lore, worldbuilding, sneak peeks and more!! 🐺🌙

#MGfantasy #MGlit #fantasy #writingcommunity #bookbluesky #booksky #wingsoffire #warriors #warriorcats #furry

When Moonheart breaks and crimson stains the sky, And colors born of ending streak the earth, Two pups of ruin live while thousands die, Two wolves of ash are forged in flame and birth. One carries light the hungry dark would take, One feeds the shadow, answers to its call. One stands among the Moonheld, heart awake, One smiles in silence watching kingdoms fall. The fragments scatter, ancient bloodlines stir, The long forgotten silence finds its end. The world will turn on what two siblings were. On whether broken things can break or mend. The light burns true though small and hard to see. Fear most the one who watched and let it be.

The Shattering Prophecy

Every wolf hears it differently. What do you think it means? 🌙

MOONHEART — A xenofiction wolf fantasy coming soon.

cover of LANDSLIDE shows the title in large letters sloping down on the side of a large landfill hill with machinery and trash on the hill; a boy rides his bike in the foreground, and there is a red house with pink flowering tree in the middle area; photo taken looking down at book in my hand over top of daffodils

What a fascinating & nuanced story, inspired by true events. LANDSLIDE by Betty Culley. Love the super-short chapters for those who are overwhelmed by large tasks! Fabulous cover art by @kristierad.bsky.social. #kidlit #MGLit 📚👍
