Day 20 #FantasyIndiesJune Free Friday: No reason not to continue the theme of the last few weeks. Here’s the cover reveal for the standalone edition of β€œThe Skull in the Tree”! Once again, @rachelbowdler.bsky.social did a fantastic job, especially given the complexity of this one😍

I want to add that it’s also okay if you want to earn money from it, because you have worked on your craft for years and deserve to be compensated for your time. writing is wonderful and passionate but it is also sometimes a job.

I tried to show Enzo the dog my painting of him but he wasn’t very interested, so you guys can have it instead πŸ•β˜€οΈ

it’s officially that time of year where british houses try to cook us all alive and there is not a corner on this godforsaken island where the heat cannot reach you

Do you want a fantasy novel where the rivals at the royal court end up having more than sapphic yearning? Do you want sapphic *action*? dax.ink/stars

here is your yearly reminder that if your pride book recs only include traditionally published authors, or white authors, or cis authors, or able-bodied neurotypical authors, your list isn’t actually that inclusive. pride means EVERYONE.

To celebrate Pride, I’ve put together a bundle of 10 sapphic romance novellas for $10, or you can get the individual novellas for 99p/c wherever you usually buy your ebooks! All profits made in ebook stores this month (i.e. not Ko-fi or Itch) will be donated to a campaign on gazafunds.com. πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ πŸ”— ⬇️

It's pride month, so how about some wonderful pride books? We've got an amazing collection here all for $17! Fantasy, sci-fi and romance! #booksky #writesky #writingcommunity #sff #fantasy πŸ“šπŸ“¦

I have yet to change my prices back and I also forgot to mention here that, as with last year, my ebook store earnings for this month (not direct via ko-fi or itch) will be donated to a campaign on gazafunds.com - a reminder that pride is a protest and none of us are free until all of us are free.

I love being a freelancer because the time I spend not working is spent worrying about how little work I have which means when work picks up again I’m already burnt out from all that time I spent being stressed
