I'll have 32 mm square pins of Ai available featuring both artworks at the convention tables. I thought it would be fun to have Ai done in two different styles, and people can pick which one they like. Both artists did a fantastic job.
Saphira Tier and up patrons will receive one of each Ai...

There's so much happening on this side that a part 2 at the end of February will still happen.

A knock came at the door while Saphira was washing her hands in the basin.
“One moment!” she cried as she dried her hands on a nearby towel. She brushed her palms against her apron and made for the front door. Two familiar faces greeted her on the other side. “Espada! Goose! Come on i...

Lily had held hands with many friends and her mother, but she’d never experienced the tiny bolts of lightning that prickled her fingers and worked their way up her arm. The reaction was immediate and made her breath catch. It didn’t seem to matter that they’d only just met—a picture of hi...

Lily sat near the crackling fire in her common room, holding her longbow in one hand while she used the other to coat the bowstring in beeswax. She’d noticed a tiny fray in the string during her hunt that morning, and these things required tending to right away. A wound to her bow felt as sever...

"Just shut up and take your chocolate. Baka."
February's acrylic pin features Ravyn! Maon captured her attitude perfectly, and the heart cut out on her dress is to die for.
All patrons at Saphira Tier or above this month will receive her in March! Thanks for your support!

Just a quick update. Cat and I have been working this week to get everything in order for the conventions starting in March. We just ordered over 400 books and a ton of merch. Volume 3 paperbacks are on their way to me, and I'm aiming to have them in the mail to everyone who ordered one by the la...

The last few days of their journey were some of the hardest for Keke. With each passing sun, the inevitable parting between her and Matt grew closer. The time spent began to feel shorter, and she struggled to fill the space with interesting topics or activities. The task was made more difficult c...

Cannoli’s heart hammered against her chest. She wanted so badly to look behind her and make sure that Buttons and Freckles went unseen. That the blanket hiding them hadn’t moved. But even the tiniest glance could mean their capture—if Muzhira hadn’t spotted the blazards already.

Lara felt the anxiety in her chest swell to a size she’d never experienced before. Perhaps she shouldn’t have said anything at all. The sheer curve of Emberlynn’s brow was enough to send her running with her tail between her legs.
“And what would you suggest?” Emberlynn asked, her...

Muzhira’s sanguine stare rested on Cannoli for the duration of their breakfast and then into the brief overview of day-to-day life in the temple. Cannoli squirmed beneath that gaze, fighting to keep her attention on Sahzi and the other initiates while hoping she was simply imagining the intense...

The wonderful Queen Toast surprised us with this phenomenal Keke artwork. Not only does Keke like sleeping in, she'll make it very difficult to get out of bed. Thank you so much, Toasty!
As always, art is for personal use only :)

Janusz patrolled the borders of Sorentina with his bardiche resting on one shoulder. It’d been quiet enough for the last fortnight, but he wasn’t comfortable enough to stay in [Civilian Mode]. Not with the rumors of a dragon taking up residence near Anyona.
“Master Janusz, it has been...

I've missed doing the Purrfect Cat Facts, so #4 features Lara. Since cats' ears can rotate 180 degrees, I imagine hers constantly swirling around like satellites. This incredible piece was done by the wonderful cosllint.

Ravyn barely managed to eat a few bites of her breakfast before more knots tied her stomach, and her fingers turned cold. Emberlynn rubbed her pointer finger and thumb against a small garnet. A brief glow emanated from the stone, and the doors at the end of the room opened.
“You called, M...

With Cannoli gone, Matt, Ceres, and Keke shared their own carriage, which left Zahra alone with Kirti and Cailu.
Kirti favored Zahra with her haunting orange stare, a permanent smirk affixed to her face. She juggled three colored rocks between her fingers. Somehow, their clicking together w...

Ravyn furrowed her brow as she sipped her cup of tea. Gone was the kind and empathetic mother who wished only for her daughter’s safety and happiness. The businesswoman had arrived, and she was as cutthroat as they came. Bally hopped down onto the table to Ravyn’s right, and the [Sorcerer] br...

“Cannoli, we are here,” Sahzi’s gentle voice wove its way into Cannoli’s dreams. “Wake up, sweet child.”
Cannoli blinked away her sleep to find Sahzi smiling across from her, holding the carriage curtain open. Remembering where she was, Cannoli shot to attention, straightening h...

Lara had never slept in a more comfortable bed in all her life. The cushions were like puffy little clouds, the sheets softer than any cotton—they were made of silk, she was sure she heard Misha say—and the gentle whiff of cinnamon wafted through the air.
How was anyone supposed to leav...

The stay in Irisil was two days longer than Keke wanted. Cailu had searched high and low for a caravan that could leave immediately, but the carriages they needed had made an unexpected journey to Ronona. That left them at the mercy of the carriage’s return.
