Halloween is almost here, and the newest Moonlit March painting is nearly complete! 🎃 While I put the finishing touches on it, here’s a peek back at where the series began.

A group of animals including a pair of toads, a black cat, a bat, a snail, and a mother opossum and her children, march through a moonlit forest.

The first story in this week's Shadows & Sorcery is something different: a short, moody horror tale, whose original publication vanished, and which I've finally given a forever home. Check it out!

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!

Lady Drakeslayer by @williamjadams3.bsky.social continues the Divine Godsqueen Coda in a delightful and brutal way! How not to love a snarky girl and her just-as-snarky sword?! Ashe, Stryx, and Harle-bub live now in my heart 💜
