I can't believe Marshmallows is a real book again 🥹
This part of Will and Dan's story is so important to me. We deal with addiction, eating disorders, academic pressure. We have some of the cutest moments I've ever written.

Happy publication day to LOUISE WILLINGHAM!
Will came out to his friends. Dan walked away from Matthew for the last time.
Summer is a long time away. For now, it’s Christmas. And Will wants to spend Christmas with his boyfriend.

Between my dog pooping on a dead hedgehog and then the poo bag falling apart right as I reached the bin, I think I just had the worst dog walk of my life 😅

I don't suppose anyone here is overly familiar with Adobe Fonts licensing, but here goes 😅
Is it permitted within the license to send photoshop files with active fonts to clients who have commissioned work from you?

I finished a map this week that has taken two weeks of solid work. I'd start at 9-10am, blink, and it would be 5pm. I was a bit daunted by this map. But I stuck to my plan, got it done, and I genuinely think it is the best I've done yet.
It's just a shame nobody else can see it for a while 😅😅

Had a pretty depressing realisation this morning that I was reading an article written by AI.
My suspicions were raised when I realised it was using a lot of words but not really saying very much. It read like a high school essay.

I've had to close to map commissions!
There's been a lot of demand recently (which I am of course incredibly grateful for). I might take a couple more on, but apart from that, things are gonna be closed till after Christmas. 🧡

Hey I have a book out today which makes another completed trilogy!
But I'm super duper stressed at work so I've got no time to make a fun post.
If you enjoy dark sci-fantasy, trauma/healing, found family and weird and wild worlds, check out my Inner Universe series!

I've become a morning person. Younger me would be so shocked, and maybe disappointed? 😅
On the other hand, I'm completely exhausted by 10pm these days 🤣

If you're joining the read along, we're up to chapter 6 today! To me, this is the first big turning point in the book. Will is too involved, now; there's no going back.

It's been a couple of intense weeks (months?) of commission work, but it is also coming with a fair bit of praise too, which is giving me back some life points 😅

Yesterday I shouted out a few of the authors involved with this book, so today I'd like to shine a light on some of the artists and cartographers who helped contribute to it!
I had the pleasure to speak with them about their maps, their process, and more.

In SoS, the map expands—new countries, uncharted horizons, and lands our characters have never set foot in.
