Great news! My DIY sticker display prototype has proved functional in field-testing!
In other news, I am at Capricon 46 this weekend, with 3 panels today and 3 tomorrow, plus a reading, offering books to new readers, and generally geeking out. Great fun.
Here's a pic of my buddies at our Goshdarned Good Authors Collective's hangout table in dealers room.

Three people are visible behind the table, heads bent over unseen items of interest. A tall black backdrop sits behind the table with brightly colored informational banners hung from the top.

It's February, which means my first book is getting published in 16 days!

*Fates Alight* comes out Feb. 17th.
Then the conclusion, *Destinies Ablaze*, is out exactly one month later.

The ebook is available for pre-order now: https://books2read.com/fatesalight
The physical copy will be available once I get my new proof and confirm the issues in the first proof were fixed.

I hope everyone is staying safe and warm ❤️

A promotional image for my Fires of Faldon duology.

A grassy, hilly scene at dusk with a large stone fire pit in the front right. Tall orange and yellow flames are coming out of the fire pit, making the stones look reddish orange.

Words over the image read: Warm up with the fires of Faldon.
A romantic fantasy duology.

I made a pretty thing today, and there'll never be a *good* time to share it, so I might as well do it now.
These are my new promo cards. I use a playing card template because I like the look, feel, and size more than "business" cards.

I struggle with not feeling like a Real Author, and NGL, having pretty promo cards actually helps.

Hey, I have a question for fellow UK writers (especially if you've got a bad back, but I'm interested regardless): do you have a favorite supportive chair? The setup at our new house means that I need a new chair for my writing desk, and my bad back needs it to be genuinely comfortable.

(Honestly, I'd be interested in hearing from writers in other countries, too, it would just be less relevant to my own personal shopping options!)

As a writer and an artist, I find again and again that there is a unique, incomparable joy in hearing that a piece of my art or one of my stories is still bringing light and delight into someone's life even after a significant amount of time has passed.

Thank you, @SrRochardBunson -- you just made my week!
