NYT bestselling, World Fantasy Award-winning author of the Green Bone Saga & other books. Next book: The Last Contract of Isako (June 2026). News: http://eepurl.com/O9JDn
I feel wildly blessed to have had Tommy and Micah illustrate my books, like I genuinely feel sorry for my own readers who aren't able to get every one of the stunning editions
It's so, so cool when different artists work on the same book, seeing everyone's interpretations of the characters and how they bring about the tone of the story, which elements each person is drawn to, etc.
I also got to see Tommy go absolutely super saiyan on this painting, which was also cool.

Happy birthday to @fondalee.bsky.social's "Jade City," B1 in The Green Bone Saga! I went nuts painting a huge montage of characters and moments from the series, for @orbitbooks.bsky.social's box set.
Now, for 7 days only, oversized prints of the art are available here: www.tommyarnoldart.com/prints

I honestly just signed onto Bluesky to say that I was listening to Untethered Sky again and that it was both wrecking me and healing me and this is what I see!
But seriously, read this book.

Manticore-hunting Ester and Zahra, her mythic creature partner in crime, are a fantastic character study of grief and obsession and the bonds of trauma and ultimately hope. They’re also just hard af. They make Fonda Lee’s Untethered Sky one of my favorite works of monster hunter fiction.

And if you haven’t read her Jade trilogy - which are very different from this but kick just as much ass - uh, why not??

The JADE CITY ebook is an Amazon Prime Day deal today (Tuesday) for a ludicrously low $2.99 which is much less than what I paid for boba tea yesterday so if you still haven't jumped on the Green Bone Saga bandwagon, this is your sign👇

@mrmaresca.com's Maradaine Saga and @fondalee.bsky.social's Green Bone Saga both show the messiness of power in ways I thoroughly appreciate. @clpolk.com's Kingston Cycle is all about controlling power.
