A bandwagon? Okay, why not!
Decided to do this for some of my folk.
First up, Liykesh, a cockatrice.

Finished reading @what_eats_owls's Painted Devils this morning before work, and that cliffhanger?? RUDE. I hope book three's words are flowing like that waterfall, otherwise, I'm going to have to join the Wild Hunt.
These are the Low Gods' laws. 🤷

Gosh, almost all of my characters from BLOOD MOONS & BINDING MAGIC are queer! 🏳️🌈
Ender doesn't label things, but greyromantic (gender-ambivalent)
Daiquiri: bisexual
Laertes: genderfluid & asexual
Meredith: lesbian
Tanya: bi but prefers femmes
Emily: pan/poly!

I usually jot down notes. Usually it's a blurb to test out an intro, a voice, or a scene (often I dream these). Then I usually tell some friends about the idea, just to verbally make sense of it, and clarify what shape it needs.

"In a world where Hell gains control one soul at a time, a were-raccoon gets caught between monsters and magic. Who can he trust: the gregarious were-kingfisher & spiky were-scorpion who claim to be his people—or the sweet & sour witchblooded cousins who save his life?"

I'm Astra, writer of all flavours of fantasy. One word to describe the ending of BLOOD MOONS & BINDING MAGIC would be "hopeful."

Hrm. Probably The Young Lion? It was a random book that came up on my Audible that I'd never heard of before.
#ASFchat - Q5:
What's the one book you've read this year that you didn't think you'd ever read? Why?
ALT A background of summer flowers in red and lavender tones. A square box in the foreground, in bordeaux, that lists the question from the tweet.
