Haven’t posted in a little while, been on a Sims 3 binger 😅, but I’m still kicking. I’ve got a few crumbs of news to come(no, not book 3. Not yet lol), but for now I’ll leave you with this quick Vulfrey doodle I scrawled between load screens.

This sour-faced shot of Vulfrey in black and silver has been part of my promo art for Belarythm’s Branches since well before book 1 released, but the scene itself is actually from book 2, Vivisection of Faith! What deeper meaning does it have? Where is he? Well, you’ll have to read it to find out😉

Finished Wyrd Sisters yesterday. Absolutely loved it. The witches are all so endearing, Granny especially! Next up, it's volume 3 of Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation. We're going one volume a year it looks like lol

Cleaning up my desk this morning. Trying to conquer the cat fuzz. I might be losing that battle, but at least I found my Hygogg's missing thumb.

In Belarythm’s Branches, Kaill is a typical farm boy and has mostly worked in fields and tended animals. Whereas, Vulfrey, having been raised like a pampered princeling, never had much chance. Although he has plied his hand at copying religious texts in the temple scriptorium.

There’s no particular craft or trade that stands out above the rest in Belarythm’s Branches. In my side project, Old Toadie’s Magical Trinkets and Curiosities, though there’s a lot of magic craft that comes into play, particularly potion making.

I do lots of artsy fartsy stuff outside of writing (and drawing). One of my favorites being making random junk with plastic canvas. Little picture frames, boxes, and the like. I buy yarn like I buy books, way more than I’ll ever need 😅
