I have something rather special to share on the 26th.
It's a secret project that I've been preparing (with the help of a talented collaborator) for some months... 🌊🐚

I was worried about a rapidly-growing lump I found on Pip, but it turned out to be nothing more than a grass seed stuck deep in her skin. She had to be sedated so that it could be cut out, but she is home now and doing well.

Our socialite, Pip, at daycare (while I was on holiday last week) and Dee, our homely dog, in a sandpit. Both are rescues. Dee kept me up nearly all of last night because she's so scared of the strong wind.

How do you describe morning, noon, and night when the light conditions in the sky barely change over 24 hours?
You come up with new terms of course! ☀️🌘

There is a lot of worldbuilding to cover in Far Removed, so I'm going to post some bite-sized guides to Knyadrea this month.
Let's start with timelines! 🌔🌓🌒
This is something I often think I should've put at the beginning of the book. I may include them in a revised version.

This is the closest a bushfire has come to my suburb. It's moving away from us now, but we had some scary moments this afternoon.

On 5 September 2023, I released Far Removed. The number 2 comes up a lot in this story – a fact
@andresstein.bsky.social reminded me of yesterday. So I am setting the epub at $2 for the rest of September. By next year, the Apidecca Duology will be complete.

#Septopolis 4
Apidecca lies a little to the southwest of the equator. It is semi-arid with some underground springs, caves and carbonic rock formations. When it does rain, it is prone to flooding (hence canals throughout).

The characters are highly evolved coral vertebrates that have left the water. Apidecca is a bit like a coral reef, with new buildings overlapping old ones. But its name actually comes from Apidae (the bee family). There's something hive-like about this society.

Apidecca is the capital city, the political centre, of Knyadrea. It's the only place where I could follow my non-human protagonists, a worker in the Assembly Chambers and a rising politician. They're from totally different backgrounds, but Apidecca attracts all sorts.

Hello, I am Coe. I'm going to talk about Apidecca since I'm writing the Apidecca Duology. It is a city in a gorge on the alien moon of Knyadrea. My hope is that other Septopolis players don't get annoyed seeing my posts as I catch up in a thread 😅

It looks like the ebook of Far Removed is on sale in the UK. I can't say how long this will last, but consider picking up a copy if you'd like to try a moody dark fantasy set on an alien moon.

Day 1: Introductions
I am Coe, writing the sequel to Far Removed (which turns 2 on 5 September).
I will stop by to look at other people's posts. Otherwise, I'll most likely be working on the 2nd draft of my last 10 chapters.
