Another absolute highlight of 2024 was being involved in this fantastic – quite literally! – short story anthology.

Book I've read lately: The Waking of Angantyr, by Marie Brennan. It's impossible to state how literally epic this book was. Vikings! Berserkers! Ghosts! Blood magic! Duels of honor! Cursed magic sword! And the plot was deeply satisfying -- revenge was had, thoroughly.
With Barad-dûr now done, my dad's next #woodworking project is Minas Tirith — the whole thing! This is the king's hall, which is about 15 cm tall and can give you an idea of the sheer size and level of detail that the entire city will have when it's finished. #lotr #MastoArt #fantasy

Here, I’m bringing together all 19 book reviews I’ve written for #fantasy books read in 2024, as originally published on my Bookwyrm account. With the exception of cookbooks, fantasy has always been my most prevalent #reading genre…

Thank you @brook @megan @ipsquiggle @Mustbetuesday @opal! Here's my #Introduction #Introductions for Sunny.Garden, as I am #NewtoMasto
I'm in my late 30s and a writer of #highfantasy #epicfantasy #fantasy #romantasy #cozyfantasy #cozy #cozysolarpunk #solarpunk #fiction and #poetry.
I'm attempting to become a better #digitalart artist also, in order to own my work process end to end ....We'll see if I can get there, lol.
I love #cats, #TTRPGs cozy socks (but forever losing those, alas!), #folklore, Mary Oliver the legendary poet, delight, wonder, witchiness, magic, and mystical meaning. Taylor Swift …

I hope to grow some poems here, mostly in response to delightful moments and music and art and pop culture. I'll some times share from my Substack, or my other more "networking" outlets.
And most of all looking forward to following / bolstering fellow creative hearts, find writing kindred spirits, joining hashtag writing events, talking about writing + poetry craft, books, the self-pub industry, and the power of the imagination and seeing the magical in daily life.
So happy to be here, can' t wait to dive in and have coffees on the porch on my part of the Sunny.Garden with everyone on the fediverse! <3

I'm a #knitting designer.
I also like #handspinning, #weaving, #sewing and many kinds of #yarn-related things as well as other handcrafts. I’ve learned a little #bookbinding, making several Coptic stitch notebooks.
I like #reading #SFF #fantasy #sciencefiction.
I'm prone to talking about #tea.
Finally, I'm a trained reference #librarian at large (not currently working as one), and have a question-answering reflex.
