This render was fun. I was saving it for Halloween because of its theme, but I actually made it for an April Fools contest in which we had to use those little adorable creatures... that might not be as cute as everyone thinks, and this is what I came up with.

The cover for JD Rivers' "The Wish of a Dragon", second book in the Otar's Universe trilogy. The main colors are purple, pink and dark blue. We have one of the main characters, Andres, facing the audience with his back, while we see the POV character Otar, only with his hand at Andres' neck, a bot of his blonde hair, and the other hand holding up a ball of flight behind Andres' back, holding a sleepong dragon. There are also more lights around it.
In the upper part it reads the title: The Wish of a Dragon, down below is the author: JD Rivers.
The illustrator/artist is planetsandmagic
the typesetter is: Hermit-writes

Image of for covers in Pacts Arcane and Otherwise by Joanna Maciejewska and a quote:
"Better start running." Veelk held his defensive stance, dodging just out of their reach only when he had to. "And pray to your demon to give you some magic."
"I don't pray to any demon," she muttered out of habit.
"The running part still stands."

Husband was better at math as I'm more of centimeters and meters gal.

If you think that solving math problems at school was a waste of time and not useful in real life, yesterday husband and I spent 10 minutes at the store, calculating how many 20ft. PVC pipes we need to buy to get 12 x 80" and 12 x 48" pipes for a project.

You can buy a one time license for MS Office, but it's equal to roughly 3 years of subscription. But StackSocial has a one-time license for much lower, and if you pick MS Office 2019 instead of MS 2021, not only you get it cheaper, but also without all the invasive AI stuff.

It’s Friday, and it’s been a rough week, so here’s a picture of an old-ish author with her new-ish release. That’s it. That’s the marketing for today.
Author Joanna Maciejewska and her book, Memories of Sorcery and Sand.

"Testing models" is a common theme in my 3D journey. I buy them, so I want to try them out and put them together in unexpected ways. A demon leading his army sounds like appropriately creepy render for a Halloween season, don't you think?

New book review: In Demon Siege - the fourth & last book of Pacts Arcane and Otherwise, by @authorjmac.bsky.social, we say a bittersweet goodbye to a highly competent trio who repeatedly rose up to challenges, demonic and otherwise, far beyond their wildest expectations. 🔗🧵

The questionable quality of my brain's thoughts at 3am: "Sometimes you can't sleep because you're too awake."
I suppose it does explain, though, what am I doing up at instead of being in bed.

There’s nothing wrong with reading for pleasure AND wanting/hoping/trying to read more books. ;)

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 10009:
Beware of people who give writing advice for a living, rather than writing books for a living. And beware of people telling you about *the publishing business* who don't currently work in the publishing business.

But at least our struggle is more pleasant than shoveling snow :)

I feel like at my current rate (and the rate I add books to my TBR), I'll be done about the time the Sun starts burning out.
