Day 7 of #FantasyIndiesJune Another snippet from my Oracle of Delphi series WIP. #WritingCommunity #HistoricalFantasy

Finished #coloring this today. From A Symphony of Cute Animals by Kanoko Egusa, using Polychromos pencils.

Drop some ARROWS 🏹➡️🖤

Since my second book is heading down the refinement pipeline, it's time to update my pinned post with my linktree! I've got my ko-fi (where I sell signed copies of my books and maybe some goodies comin' up), my itch.to, and my website on there. Don't be afraid to check 'em out! linktr.ee/danteatlas

#FantasyIndiesJune- "Compared to the word 'best?'" Maeb challenged like an encouraging teacher with a struggling pupil. "Specifics are a necessity with any magic, for magic will take any opportunity to roll the dice as it sees fit." Art huffed. "Is speaking in riddle an aspect of the old ways, too?"

Think l FINALLY have a title... A Dance of Bow and Blade

#Juneworldbuilders 7. Servants of a God/Devil Well... The only actual god in the #navvyverse (so far) is Illcord Natoth, and to his people the term "god" also means "sacrifice." So in some ways it's a question of who serves who? Does a God serve their people?

Did I just start reading Paved With Good Intentions straight after finishing - might ave done!

#JuneWorldbuilders The only people with a claim to any real freedom are those hermits and heretics who hoard relics for their powers. These are essentially the wizards of the setting, people who have the understanding that relics work 100% independently of the gods that make them.

Tell me your pet’s name with a GIF Pet 2: (so named because she's a cat rescued off the streets on October 30)

Day 7. What is good advice for supporting other writers? Just cheer them on. #WritingCommunity. #ComJunity. @eliwoodsgheist.bsky.social.

My world has guns and gunpowder, but no poop (literally) so no easy sources of potassium nitrate. They DO have mines of it... in Ophidia (the fascist. femdom, man-hating country). So, all guns/gunpowder are manufactured by a few elite women who use men as chairs (Kamiko, pictured)

Here's birthday boy Clarence White with his trusty Telecaster.

I got to chat with @nytimes.com about what they're calling "roots music" and its place in the modern music industry. As times have grown more complicated, so has the music and its function in society.

"This is purple prose done right" Go check out this review for Reflections of Lilje Damselfly!

Stuck outside a baseball game for more than an hour before the gates open. Anyone got any questions about my writing/series/advice/life/random music recommendations that'll keep me distracted from the heat/noise and people?

If a backwoods bar is cool with it, then what's the problem?

#JuneWorldbuilders 07: Servants of a god The gods of the setting have angels to run small errands for them. Delivering messages, announcing their impending arrival, or protecting crowds from smaller threats. Think less biblical and more like very strong harpies.

Hello, BlueSky. I like to write stories; I like to encourage other people to write stories; I like to read stories. I live with my wonderful wife, daughter, and dogs in the New Hampshire woods. The Elder Child and my Be'aspe live nearby. I believe in libraries, integrity, kindness, & more stories.

#JuneWorldbuilders 7. All mortals are slaves to the whims of the gods. Their messengers and agents are countless unique, strange shadows sent from on high or from deep below ultimately to foment war. Even though they may sometimes bless the harvest or fertility, it's all to make more soldiers.

You can get a handle on your book by answering these questions. The 6 essential questions 1. Who is it about? 2. What do they want? 3. Why can't they get it? 4. What do they do about it? 5. Why doesn't that work? 6. How does it end?

#FantasyIndiesJune 07: Snippet - Magic "Even if [redacted] were lying in wait to ambush, he could take her. His armor — like all Bastions’ — was laced with silver to protect from blood magic. It wouldn’t stop everything, but it would buy him time."

#JuneWorldbuilders Servants of a Goddess The Fairies call themselves Servants of the Moon and Sun. The cycle of the moon and the rising and setting of the sun, remind the Fairies of the promise of the Goddess who led them out of the water to this new realm. @kiraofthewind.com

Itch is down, which makes this a good time to point out that Moonshadow's Guardian is available in most other places where books are sold!

#FantasyIndiesJune Day 7 From Ballad's End: A visiting envoy from the Belomas Highlands explains the history behind how the faumen were transformed into the bestial demi-humans they are today.

#JuneWorldbuilders Day 7 Most Windbringers consider themselves servants of the Wind Saints, even selecting a primary Saint to dedicate their acts of service to. Kai, for example, primarily worships Tapimor the Lifeweaver, the group's apothecary and patron of nature.
