With three books published, the Living Sword series is my only series so far.

It has action, humor, and a talking sword very particular about their appearance and with a love of storytelling.

Can finally share this #watercolor #paleoart I did a few years back of the “King of the Riverside” I did for the new paper by @melanieduring.com which shows that in Hell Creek there were giant Prognathodon mosasaurs that were living in freshwater (not just visiting)

A late-in-the-day #SFINCS review from me today... This time it's A Light for the Dead to Follow by Rebecca Crunden, a grim-cozy story with a sweet romance that pays homage to Tolkien.

The jaw-dropping Minerva Bowl from the Hildesheim Treasure, a hoard of Roman silver unearthed in 1868 in Germany. In high relief, Athena-Minerva sits on a rock, holding a cane or pedum, wearing her magnificent helmet. Note her little owl on the left. 🦉 🏺 1/

1st c. CE, #AntikensammlungBerlin
📸 me
This gilded silver bowl features a detailed sculptural relief of Minerva (the Roman version of the Greek goddess Athena), who sits on a rock throne and holds a cane in her right hand and a shield in her left hand. The goddess is wearing her battle headgear and flowing robe, and to the left of Minerva's right hand is her symbol, the owl (look closely). The bowl has two handles, each measuring 3.4 centimetres (1.3 in) in length. The bowl itself weighs 2.388 kilograms (5.26 lb), having a 25-centimetre (9.8 in) diameter and 7.1 centimetres (2.8 in) in depth. Her foot is completely sculpted in the round and sticks out over the edge of the inner ring of the bowl, over the broad interior margin, which is decorated in a pattern of engraved palmettes.

As it happens, all of my books have been printed in Calibri. I think it's a nice font.

Is that now enough for me to be barred from the USA?

A review does not have to be long or sophisticated either! Just say you liked it, or something you liked about it!

One of the best reviews of all time was that one-liner on ye olde Twitter from *checks notes* bigolas dickolas

It does matter, it does help.

Reviews are the lifeblood of indie authors.

In the last few years, reviews have trickled to a near standstill, which creates a conundrum: need readers to get reviews, but need reviews to get readers.

If you take the time to write even a single sentence review, YOU ARE AMAZING THANK YOU I LOVE YOU

NEW Isotope analysis of copper artefacts from Bronze Age Möriken-Wildegg, Switzerland finds some copper was likely sourced as far away as Cyprus, indicating that, c.1400 BC, even rural communities were involved in the extensive Eurasian market networks.

results of this week's #Paleostream flocking!!!

this week we sketched Camelops, Daemonosaurus, Panderodus, and Eustreptospondylus

#sciart #paleoart
a Camelops walks past a fairly newly formed tarpit nestled amongst thick vegetation Camelops is an extinct kind of camel that lived during the last ice age, unlike modern camels it had quite a slender snout and was slightly taller, it's unknown if it had a hump or not, however, we know that if it did have a hump it would only have one rather than two thanks to the shape of its back a Daemonosaurus slowly walks along the shallow muddy banks of a lake in the morning, it's slow movements are calculated as to not alert any nearby phytosaurs Daemonosaurus is a Triassic dinosaur who's position in the dinosaur family tree is still debated, some consider it a basal theropod, while others consider it a non-theropod saurischian related to dinosaurs like Hererrasaurus. it's a small dinosaur with a short face and large teeth, although, it's only known from a single skull, some neck material, and a few ribs three Panderodus kick up fine sediment by the shoreline of the ocean at night, they're illuminated from above by a light offscreen and outside of the water Panderodus is an unusual type of conodont (extinct jawless fish related to lampreys) which is flat like a stingray unlike other conodonts which are more eel-like. it's most well known for it's large conodont elements (mineralised tooth-like structures) which are simple and very proportionally large, some species of Panderodus have grooves on their conodont elements, which some scientists have proposed were for delivering venom, this would make conodonts the earliest venomous vertebrates a Eustreptospondylus swims along the surface of the water during the afternoon, most likely travelling to a nearby island. the camera is at the surface of the water with a small portion above showing the animal's head, while most of the camera is under the water where the body is. bubbles escape from the dinosaur's feathers as a wave submerges its body with only its head left above the water. the animal is swimming using a mix of its tail, legs, and arms. Eustreptospondylus is a theropod dinosaur known from Jurassic England when it was a series of scattered islands. Eustreptospondylus is only known from one juvenile specimen, the juvenile is around a meter tall at the hip. none of Eustreptospondylus' closest relatives preserve a nasal bone, so one scientists suspects that they could have had nasal crests akin to dinosaurs like Ceratosaurus or Guanlong, this isn't known for sure but i have followed this interpretation in my reconstruction of the animal.
