WHAT’S IT ABOUT

Defy All Limits.

For Ash Woods, practicing alchemy is a crime. Only an elite few are legally permitted to study the science of magic—so when Ash is rejected by Lancaster College of Alchemic Science, he takes a job as the school’s groundskeeper instead, forced to learn alchemy in secret. When he’s discovered by the condescending and brilliant apprentice Ramsay Thorne, Ash is sure he's about to be arrested—but instead of calling the reds, Ramsay surprises Ash by making him an offer: Ramsay will keep Ash's secret if he helps her find the legendary Book of Source, a sacred text that gives its reader extraordinary power. As Ash and Ramsay work together and their feelings for each other grow, Ash discovers their mission is more dangerous than he imagined, pitting them against influential and powerful alchemists—Ash’s estranged father included. Ash’s journey takes him through the cities and wilds across New Anglia, forcing him to discover his own definition of true power and how far he and other alchemists will go to seize it.

This book! This book!

I'm a fan of:

sporking fantasy tropes

female antiheroes

pop culture references

competency porn

hot messes

hot messes who somehow are also hyper-competent???

fourth wall breakage

unapologetically queer people

animal-people

time shenanigans

great fight scenes

footnotes

laughing

And this book delivered! I knew I had to read this as soon as I heard about it. (Woman caught in a time loop decides not to be the Chosen One, but the Dark Lord? Hello, yes please.)

It's been a while, like maybe a year ago with Perilous Times, since I've had so much fun with a comic fantasy. I have a serious case of the gimmes for the sequel now.

Why You Should Read Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett

Emily, a Cambridge professor of dryadology travels to a remote Scandinavian town to study a previously unstudied type of faerie, in order to complete the Encycopaedia she is working on

When her colleague and academic rival, Wendall Brambleby also shows up, getting in her way and infuriating her, Emily and Wendall must work together to uncover the secrets of the faeries.

This book is like if Howls Moving Castle and Spinning Silver had a child?

Emily and Wendall give major Howl and Sophie vibes. Wendall is a dramatic, over the top sliterer-outer (and may not be all that he seems). Emily is a bit of a curmudgeon, not a people person, and dedicated to her work.

This book is a journal format, and we are reading Emily's journal recounting the experience

Footnotes!

This is a winter read through and through

Cozy-fantasy that is set during the Edwardian era, although parts can get a little bit dark (that's just how faeries are though)

the Faerie in this book reminded me a lot of the the staryk from Spinning Silver, so if you like that type of faerie, this book is for you

This book is a love letter to fairy tales, faeries, and folklore

A lovable dog companion, lesbian side characters

Changelings, brownies, Winter Kings and Faerie Princes, enchantments

This book is just clever and neat, and really opens up a lot of potential for other books

All in all, I loved it, and I think you should read it too!

Beau's Sheath Stroker 🌕🐺

Our first large stroker design! This model can be used as a stroker for folks with any anatomy as well as a packer or wearable. The Sheath Stroker can also be used as a bumper, to add balls to a model without them, and can be used solo or with a partner! Future versions of the model will be a swappable pack and play combo with multiple shaft offerings, so keep an eye out for that 🥰

Some notes about the sheathes in tonight's drop:

This model is still in development. On the underside small air bubbles get trapped and the surface has numerous mold defects and overall poor finish quality. All sheathes will be discounted until this issue is fixed as we continue to develop it.

All Sheath Strokers in their debut drop will be discounted at half price!

[aloekat]

“Magic was once thought to only be gifted to the unique or special, the chosen ones. Now it was commonly known that every single person in the world had the capability to become an alchemist.”

For Ash Woods, practicing alchemy is a crime.

Hello! I'd like to tell you about a book I wrote. It'll be coming out on Friday the 26th of May 2023.

I'm extremely proud of this one. I'm proud of them all, of course, but I think in this one I let myself get angry for, well, pretty much the whole book to be honest. Previous books in the series have bursts of queer rage, but this one definitely sustained it.

At its heart, it's a book that demands to know just how long we're supposed to do nothing while fascists kill us.

Now, fair warning, it is book 9 in an ongoing series. It won't make a whole lot of sense if you haven't read the previous eight books. I'll get to that at the end of the post, but for now I want to stick with Runes of Fall.

No storm bows to reason.

Quentin's trip to the desert with his chosen family is supposed to be two days of testing the limits of their powers. Instead, a violent storm looms on the horizon, and nothing will alter its course.

The storm has a name: Nate Anderson. Demigod, supremacist, leader of a neo-Nazi Übermensch cabal... and father to Quentin's latest ward, Mel. He means to take her home, and won't let a ragtag group of "inferior" psychics get in his way.

Besieged and outgunned, Quentin is trapped in a no-win scenario. No matter which way he turns, one fateful night will change him forever.

Inheritance is a series best read in order, so if this is the first you've heard of it I strongly recommend that you start with Jack of Thorns, but keep going and I'll let you know how you can grab that for free. First, let me tell you more about it.

In Jack of Thorns, we meet Laurence and Quentin, two men with astonishing powers but little to no control over them. They are both adrift, traumatised, and doing what they can to get by one day at a time. Laurence is struggling to escape a toxic, abusive boyfriend who refuses to accept that their relationship is over, and Quentin spends as much of his time drunk as he possibly can.

Do they start out likeable? Opinion varies. But they learn, they grow, and they put in the work to improve themselves. They do their best, and sometimes they make mistakes, but the Laurence and Quentin in Runes of Fall are a world away from the Laurence and Quentin you first meet.

Heads up, there are some content warnings to take note of. In random order, they are: sexual intimacy, addiction, drug use, sexual assault, childhood sexual abuse, incest, gaslighting, bullying, coercive control, kidnapping, domestic abuse, bigotry, classism, torture, post-traumatic stress, therapy, violence, peril, and death.

If you're still here, thank you for reading this far. I'd like to give you some links if you're interested in finding out more!

Other stuff I have been painting for Warhammer: Terrain! Got a couple of old citadel wood kits from ebay and have painted them up, though still need to flock them to match the terrain I've scratchbuilt:

A barrow loosely inspired by Hazelton Long Barrow (with resin entrances by Fenris Games), to serve as a tomb for my Bronze Age wight king.

A Bretonnian peasant cottage and barn inspired by some of the terrain in the old citadel book How to Make Wargames Terrain.

“I’ve Always Been Into Weird Fish”

Look at this MAP.

It’s for my forthcoming high fantasy novel MAEJ (out October from tRaum Books).

The incomparable Marten Norr drew it. I interviewed him about the process, and about how folks who hire him can get the most out of it.

Interview gift link. (You have to read the interview to find out about the weird fish.)
