Today's indie author review! Fallen by E. Prybylski:

"I am not a huge fan of urban fantasy, especially when the story is based on religion, but I am a huge fan of the characters in this book... interesting, filled with surprises and suspense, and I highly recommend it. 4 stars."

I've done the math, and they pose a serious threat to the ability of humanity to make it to the #TESCREAL Rapture

I've just had a little exchange on the birdsite with @nnedi , who officially called her writing #solarpunk !

> Noor is solarpunk.

> Wasn’t a term I was familiar with. Someone referred to it as such. I looked up the definition. Yes, the novel is solarpunk. For reference, see the embedded podcast in the novel.

My little kill or don't kill tale...

In Kovenlore Chronicles, a character was slated to die, but I couldn't do it after they exposed an extraordinary wound deep inside.

Next book, & again I planned their demise. This time, my clever subconscious noted the opportunity for a redemption arc.

That arc paid me back in spades again & again & again, becoming a thread that I treasure dearly. In fact, it influenced much of what came after. 😃

People asking us about the very small #bumblebees they’ve encountered (if they’re lucky this year!😔) over the past few weeks.
Wanting to know if they are a specific species.
So here’s a brief thread to explain what they are.
Please #boost if you find it interesting.

One of the ways I've talked about actually enacting a resistance movement in capitalist hellworld, is creating three interconnected arms that operate towards achieving the same program. A political arm, a protest arm, and an action arm. For somewhat obvious reasons, the political arm, cannot hang out with the action arm; even though they're working towards the same program.

Politics and Protest is a piece of the puzzle, it is not the whole puzzle; capitalists and nazis lie to keep you in check.
