A trope map surrounding Rien, who stands in steel knight's armor and a blue cloak imprinted with stylized blue bears.

I saw this trend going around back in #IndieAugust, but I was so busy with work that I didn't get around to it until now πŸ˜…

A graphic. In the centre is the cover for When In Erebus by me. It shows some gold designs in an Art Deco-ish style: on the top is a partly hidden Sun with several stars, in the middle are three bottle-like machines sucking light into themselves in front of metal pipes, and at the bottom are a pair of wire cutters over a diagram on a table. At the edges of the designs there is what looks like black mist. Surrounding the cover are five arrows with text: Light-sucking machines. Actually punk decopunk. Art is political! Internal sabotage. Alternate 1930s NYC.

It's the last day of #IndieAugust!

Anyone wanna read about a corpse enthusiast doctor in space with a cyberpunk & gothic flavor?

What about a circus acrobat becoming a make-shift detective in an empire with a cheaper golden faΓ§ade than the Oval Office?

Cover of The Reflections of Lilje Damselfly by Natalie Kelda. It portraits a woman wearing a water-made dress in an art nouveau style.

I want to finish this #IndieAugust with the #IndieAuthor that started it all for me @nataliekelda.bsky.social

The Reflections of Lilje Damselfly is the first ARC I reviewed, and I loved it. It's a sweet sapphic romance story featuring a nymph that has a chronic illness that is very well portrayed.
