The Backwards Knight, the first novel of my Eldritch Remnants series, awaits you. Very well received so far, you do NOT to want to miss out on this.

A snarky knight, a stabby princess, and a farm boy marked by magic. What could go wrong?

Image of a copy of The Backwards Knight sitting in a crumbling ruins, with a backdrop of shadowy tentacles, and eight arrows pointing to words that read: Stabby princess, a sword of nothing, potatoes, tainted magic, knight in not-so-shiny armor, farm boy with magic, Beware..., Crumbling ruins.

Check out this lovely portfolio from an all-too-epic artist! She did the cover for both The Dark Side of Super AND The Backwards Knight.

Amazing and leaves me breathless every time.

landscape of branches and roots growing around a small puddle of water. a blue raven stands above it with a feather in his beak, peering down into the water.

three small abstract landscape paintings. Green seaweed looking one, a green stone formation that can be a city or forest, and a green and yellow natural formation that can be a leaf breaking apart

Two book cover paintings. a blue one with a man and a sword, looking tired and worn, and a burnt hand besides him. the background is abstract shapes hidden by misty swirls.

The second image is of a city. There is a crowd of people that are just forms, and one man standing out in a red trenchcoat and white eyes staring at the viewer.

dark blue landscape of two woods meeting for a conversation. It can also possibly be a single tree split down the middle.

An illustration of a person from the chin down. They have both their arms around black wolves, which are asleep and cuddled against the person. Two more wolves are asleep and piled on top. The person and the animals are all smeared and smattered with blood, indicating they had a great meal together.

A man curled over onto his elbows, his head in his hands, amidst green leaves. A glowing, luminous dagger dangles above his neck and spine. His hands are cupped and outstretched towards the sky. Luminous liquid slips through his fingers.

A small child holding a bunny rabbit stuffed animal standing in front of a line of darkened forest. Inside the forest are lots of glowing sets of eyes

An oil painting of a foggy, monochrome forest with a singular man with glowing eyes standing in front of it. Before him are multiple shadows of wolves, their eyes glowing in the darkness as well.

Good morning, friends. I think.

no one but a mage can kill a mage
it's not a tricky riddle
but who the traitor is and what they want?

A huge full moon in a dark blue sky. The cover of a book called A Path of Endless Crossroads by MC Burnell, a man with a sword walking into a desolate landscape. Text reads: BEGIN THE EPIC: The Tipping World, Vol 1. No one but a mage can kill a mage and now they're vanishing. There is a big block quote: “The mage had a response to her skepticism, a pretty compelling one: she need not take him at his word, he was offering her the chance to learn the truth. Provided the process of learning what was true and what was not, what was real and what was myth, wasn’t a trap. One that would ensnare her and remake her into precisely what the mage said mages weren’t. All she had to do was take him at his word.”

In some sort of sour mood today, cannot figure out why. Might as well write about it.

Save it for later! Tiny robots are coming in January. So if you have a pin board with some negative space (and you don't mind filling it with ROBOTS), this is the project for you :D
