Anyone know of cover artists whose work is realistic in style? Authors, feel free to drop your cover and name your artist if you think they tick that! I'm looking for a cover artist for an edgy, SciFi-Fantasy Crime series. CW's abound, so cute styles =misleading fit. Mood is👇 #Authors #artists

When not writing (or teaching 😉), I enjoy reading fantasy novels on my back porch. Or walking/ running in local streets/ creeks/ rivers or in national parks/ mountains (and associated photography) further afield. #AskAnAuthor

If you’re opposed to fascism, please make sure you’re working on internalized ableism. The link between fascism, eugenics and ableism is well documented. Fight for disability rights. Make resistance efforts accessible. Wear a mask & stay home when sick. Don’t leave us behind.

I thought Dutton's fan-boying of Donald was blatant enough, but now Clive's giving Australia an outright MAGA copy cat party? Someone send me Clive's party flyers; I'm running out of toilet paper!
