The sequel to this came out only 9 days ago! I'm hoping to get this a little more love.

Soon, it lifted off. Crows scattered but it only went to a different branch on the same tree. It didn't stick around, though, and took flight a moment later, soaring my way. I saw it's a red tail hawk. A few crows flew behind it, chattering some more.

God, I love corvids. (4/4)

They were trying to scare it off. I watched pairs of crows fly off to shout over the neighborhood and get reinforcements. More and more crows weighed down that tree. Big-ass bird of prey got antsy. Slowly looked around.

One crow got bold and dive-bombed behind it, swooping near it. (3/4)

I got my glasses, looked out. Spent a minute trying to see them. Found them behind the house across the street. So chattery. I couldn't figure out why.

Then I saw the big-ass bird of prey sitting on the same tree.

They were trying to scare it off. (2/4)

I just saw a bird turf war go down.

It's an unusually warm day for December (... ignore the climate implications). I heard the crows making a huge ruckus. I opened the window and looked out, couldn't see anything. (1/4)

It was a hard 33 between the crime circus and the sewers. Not a lot of reflective surfaces.

I heard about this earlier, it's nuts! One of my friends used it a lot, I always thought it was a bit weird and now I've found out why. No nice things for anyone - creators especially.

Anyone else ever have a hair stuck in their foot? Like what the actual fuck. It feels like you've stepped on glass or have a splinter in there or something, but no. It's a hair. Stuck at the exact right/wrong angle to make you hobble around until you can remove the damn thing.

Yep. Okay. I overlooked the obvious. That seems about right. Go team. XD

All the people proud to be associated with this book--and that amazing-ass cover has convinced me to go pick it up.

E.B. Hauk @beahauk.bsky.social · Dec 23

Thank you! That's very helpful.

E.B. Hauk @beahauk.bsky.social · Dec 23

They look sinful. Mama want.

I can't believe there's not a MusicSky feed already. Anyway.

Fellow music geeks, I'm putting together an inspiration playlist for something I'm writing. Melancholy, horror, and space are the themes. Think Alien meets the Thing.

Any recommendations?

I am digging your style.

E.B. Hauk @beahauk.bsky.social · Dec 23

I adore that one on the left. I don't know that I got the means right now but you're getting a follow out of me and a likely commission in the future.

@applewhitewrite.bsky.social
I wanted to thank you and your husband. I attended his Origins Microkickstarter panel and he talked about marketing your books and suggested I follow your footsteps and seek out the same podcasters that interviewed you. It gave me some inroads and I appreciate it.

E.B. Hauk @beahauk.bsky.social · Dec 22

Thanks! XD I thought they could actually be really useful, without being game breaking. Unless maybe your campaign revolves around finding hidden royalty.

Then they might be the silver bullet you don't want--or desperately need, depending on player competence.

Have a free item! I had this idea last night and thought these were hilarious.

So much of writing is feeling like an absolute asshole over the tiniest typo/mistype/punctuation error. I'd say we blow it out of proportion, but the querying process suggests otherwise.

I am so glad I wasn't the only one to see the Facehugger similarities. To me it looks like a blend of one of them and a camel spider.

I can't say I have an opinion one way or the other but Michael Keaton is criminally underrated, imo. He's one of those actors that shows up and always gives 110%.

Love the texture on the horns, especially. The way the little pieces of horn protrude before the main... horn-stem?
