We’re in the last hours of the sale. I’ve made one sale short of last month’s entire total over the course of the week, so that’s a good chunk of royalties to donate to https://u24.gov.ua 🇺🇦

I just want to put in a good word for Fair Haven, my only book that didn’t get a sale during the week. Like the rest, it’s fantasy with romance: fun, light but not cosy, and 50% off, which makes it only US$2 for the next few hours.

Because the news has never been so anxiety-provoking, let's take a look at pictures celebrating one of my favorite Discworld characters, the witch Tiffany Aching (Tiphaine Patraque in FR). Following the books' description, with her "midnight outfit" (I loved tooling leather constellations) and a blue hat for her "hat full of sky", she is an excellent reminder to fight against obscurantism.
Did you know her ?

When the Bough Breaks (1924) & Travel Light (1952) as SFF Texts

“Mitchison is a key figure for thinking about how a huge swathe of predominantly (but not exclusively) women’s writing of the interwar decades would be thought of as SFF from today’s perspective”
