New profile pic! Drawn by the excellent @quillathy.bsky.social and making me look cuter than I might ever be for real!

An ebook cover for Unfinished Business by Adie Hart. The background is mid-toned purple with pastel stars, with the title in green in the middle, and illustrations of bottles, baskets, and apples in dark purple at the bottom.

Unfortunately Kiki’s Delivery Service is usually right:

Happy Pride!

If you see this, QRP with queer art! 💖

I have a lot to choose from but here are two of my sapphic girls, District Witch librarian Cora and Princess Camellia from “Far Far Awake”! Art is by the lovely @ladycordelia.bsky.social 💕
Illustrated portraits of a princess with long blonde hair with flowers in it, and a redheaded witch with a quill behind her ear. The background is a gradient of the lesbian flag.

I’m now on Patreon!

I had some bad news this week, which means my publishing plans have had to change - I’m going it alone!

I’ll still be editing Indie Bites, don’t worry, but for my own cozy fantasy novels, novellas, and collections, I’ll be publishing as Witch Hart Books.

I am OBSESSED with this art of The Potioner, the Pine Marten, and the Pirate King by moth.deity!! Watching the sunset from a hot spring with a hot pirate never looked dreamier… I can’t get over all the fabulous little details, from the steam, to Naz’s face, to Cyrian’s knee poking up 🥰
An illustration of a woman with long red hair and a man with shoulder length black hair, in a hot spring in the middle of the forest at sunset. The lighting is warm and the vibe feels intimate, with both of them smiling at each other a little. Behind them, a pine marten investigates a bag full of potions.

I was just saying the other day that if you’ve ever said something nice online about my work, there is about a 100% chance I printed it and put it on my board to keep me going on the dark days 🥰 Telling authors you like their stuff is so valuable!!

Artifice & Access is finally here! This anthology of disability in fantasy is so inventive, so warm, and so full of heart - I’m incredibly proud to be included among its authors.

Find my CFS Cinderella tale Stroke of Midnight, Shoes of Glass inside!

I finally found the perfect little present charm for the release of Merry Midmas, Myria! I buy myself a charm every time I put a story out into the world so that I have a tangible celebration of what I’ve done - and it’s going so well I’m going to need a new base bracelet!
A photograph of a silver charm bracelet lying on some green grass. There is a variety of charms, but in the centre is a small silver one that looks like a ribbon tied present box.

Since preorders are now up for Artifice and Access, I can finally show you this phenomenal artwork I commissioned from elanatyanimation on Insta! This is the moment Cinderella and the prince truly fall for each other; a quiet moment stolen from the ball that lets them breathe. I’m in love!
An illustration of Cinderella, wearing a silver ballgown and globes, and the prince, wearing white tie attire, lying side by side on a grass lawn. Their shoes have been kicked off and lie either side of them. Their hands are very nearly, but not quite, touching. Her eyes are closed and he is gazing at her with love in his eyes. The yearning is PALPABLE.

How do we think I did for aging my Inquisitor up ten years? 😅

Magpie and Crowe at the ball 🥰

Wonderfully captured by moth.deity on Insta - I’m in LOVE (and not in denial about it like these two idiots)
A woman and a man in a waltz hold, looking into each other’s eyes. She is a little shorter, with tan skin and long wavy brown hair in a partial updo; he is tall and pale with long dark hair loosely tied back. Her dress is navy with silver sparkles, long sleeves and a full skirt. He is in black and silver evening wear.

Day seven of the #adventurecalendar is Addictive! I don’t actually love the term “romantasy” for my stories because I think it implies a dark vibe I’m not trying to give, but by far the most romance-focused of my District Witch stories is Far Far Awake, available in Once Upon A Spring!
The cover of Once Upon A Spring on a blue background decorated with snowflakes. Underneath it reads “7th December / Addictive Romantasy” A trope map with the cover of Once Upon A Spring. Items are: district witch story; chronic illness rep; sapphic sleeping beauty retelling; magical gardening; swearing in dead languages; and history nerd meets the actual historical princess she’s always been obsessed with - and she’s so much better in real life!
