Beneath that is the covers for each book, respectively. Book one is on the left. It’s titled, “The Way of the Wielder”. On the cover is the profile of a young woman looking left, staring at a glowing blue orb in her hand. Behind her is a misty cityscape, and between her and the author’s name (at the bottom of the cover) is a vignette of a fox running across a mountainous landscape. Book two is in the center. It’s titled, “Mysteries of the Material”. On the cover is the profile of a young man facing right, staring at a fox mask in his hand; the other is holding a dagger. Between the title and the author’s name is a vignette of a woman standing before a glowing stone building. Book three is on the right. It’s titled “Convergence of Connection”. The cover features a young woman facing the viewer, her hands before her with four orbs (green, gray, red, and blue) hovering around them. Behind her is a green and gold glow with leaves and vines along the edges. Between the title and the author’s name is a vignette of an angel before a starry golden sky. Below that, the following text in white: Paperback, Kindle, and KU options available on Amazon now!

Song of the Huntress by Lucy Holland - 7/10

Honestly, I hadn't heard anything about this book. I just saw it was an Ancient British fantasy and jumped right in.

An unexpected bonus was my uncanny ability to find sapphic books without realising 👀

I would definitely recommend this to anyone loosely interested in Celtic history or religion. If you're not, it's just a damn good stand alone fantasy (but you might struggle with some of the character names).

It's not secret that I'm a huge fan of mixing 3D and 2D art. In this case, all I rendered was the 3D models of the woman and the flame. The rest was done in Affinity Photo by layering brushes, textures, and effects. Yes, I had a lot of fun.

My SIGNED copy of C. M. Alongi’s upcoming novel “Heart of Iron” arrived today! I’m very excited to have it on paper, even though I already read a digital advanced copy.


This is the story of how Violet, AKA the Iron Witch AKA the Traitor Princess (who has settled in the mortal realm running a coffee shop called CaFae Latte) has her past come back to visit her, and the humans and other beings she’s helped and befriended in the mortal realm team up to save her, even as one of them—the newly-sober newly-released-from-prison baker—is framed.


I’m like 99% sure every “good guy” in this book is queer.


“Heart of Iron” will be released Oct 7.

Time to make an introductory post!

Hello everyone!
I'm Eliza, a sapphic OC artist from Belgium. I like drawing romantic illustrations of women 🥰
Take a look at my art! ✨ 👀

An illustration of my OC Celdervinn as a Knight. Shes standing on grass in front of the sunset which is giving her a strong silhouette to her proud pose. Shes resting her hands on a Zweihänder which is glowing like gold. There is a decorative frame on the top part of the painting. The colours are mostly reds, grey greens and yellow/gold.

An illustration of my OC as a knight. Shes holding her golden glowing rapier in a floaty, romantic pose. Her face is decorated with glowing stars and of the same color she has a sword sign tattoo'd on her neck. Her puffy shirt is half open showing some cleavage like the little slut she is (affectionate). The background of the illustration is a galaxy, and the art work is decorated with a golden frame and a star sign with her head as the center. The used colours are blue and yellow

My OCs being a typical lesbian couple. Miho has her arm swung around Cels neck as she's jumping into Cel with a Sword pointed at Cel's neck. Cel is catching her with her hand resting on a Zweihänder . They're both smiling. Miho is wearing a shirt with puffy sleeves, leather pants and boots. Cel is wearing a black armor.

a scenic painting of a balcony in front of a backdrops of pink clouds blue skies. Mihoko, my OC, is sitting on the balcony railing, striking a cocky pose and talking to my other OC, Celdervinn, who is standing in the doorframe raising an eyebrow at Miho, grinning. There is a rope with a hook hanging from the railing. The painting has a very warm fluffy feeling to it.

I squatted next to my mother’s grave and watched Lună play hide and seek with the clouds. It was a quiet night, the only sounds the buzzing of crickets hiding in the grass. Each time Lună peaked out, my skin tingled with the power of her light.

“I think I’ve found them,” I told Mama. “I’ve been stalking them online a while, but I wasn’t sure. I finally got to see them in person. They actually came here for a job, and I was able to get close enough to see all of them. I felt it. Lună likes them. I think.”

---

What happens next? DM me and find out -- I'm looking for review readers for The Last Lady of Lună. All you need is an Amazon account and a willingness to give an honest review.
