I can show these now! Three book covers I did for the "Aurora's Rift" series written by the multi-talented @maigheach.bsky.social Planning the "rift" going around the book and above the character was a fun challenge.

The special editions of Aurora’s Rift are finally here, and I’m so excited. 🥰 maigheachpress.com/collections/...

Dick Van Dyke, who'll turn 99 in a few days, sings and dances his way through a new video recorded just a couple of months ago, and whoo-boy, did it make me verklempt. But in a good way. I sure do love that man. youtu.be/o4OlL0OpbW8

This just confirms that Bluesky is much more friendly to posting lynx.

@trickweekes.bsky.social Some friends and I are having a “we miss Cole” party of sads at the moment. Can you say where Cole is? 🥺 (I ask this like I could go find him and hug him or something but…)

Current read and next read. Riftsworn, by @maigheach.bsky.social, is a fantastic adventure, made even better because I'm playing DA:Veilguard while reading. Wild Faith, by @swordsjew.bsky.social, is my less-escapist read. Looking forward to reliving some very bad childhood memories!

Rook is a mood

Look, BioWare ripped my heart out seven years ago when I finished the Solavellan romance, and I have never quite recovered, and the fact that they treated us with such care in Veilguard? I don't want to post any spoilers but let's just say I finished and IMMEDIATELY fired up DAI again.

no brain, just dragon age

Trying so hard to not spoil things but must make a joyful noise at @trickweekes.bsky.social: somehow a bit of fic I wrote in '20 (and didn't publish!! about a spirit seeking Lavellan to help her find strength to save her beloved!) became canon with the exact words of the lesson & I am SHOOK [good].

Not me sitting here rewarding myself for doing work with downloading Solavellan videos from my PS4's DAI trove now that I've finished Veilguard. I have IDEAS.

Since Twitter died, I wanted to post my most popular one. Something like 120k likes.

So. I know that, for many varied reasons, some people may want (or need) a book like #SoYouWantToBeARobot —but a cover with visibly trans flag colors and queer vibes may not be one they want (or one they can have due to safety reasons, etc). So I've made a variant cover for the paperback (🧵⬇️)
