A digital portrait of Thalassodromeus - an extinct flying reptile with a large, curving crest on its head. The illustrated animal is a mixture of dark greys and blacks, with a golden yellow eye.
Ridiculous animal.

Beadweaving is my first love. On loom, off loom, all kinds of stitches. During COVID I peyote-stitched 50 pairs of earrings, each one-of-a-kind, as is everything I create. The black necklace was woven on a loom. The bangles and tennis bracelets were off-loom.

If this drops on the NYT bestseller list I hear @tkingfisher.com will read a bedtime story to Kevin's chickens. ON CAMERA. FOR THE INTERNET. Tell your friends. Or just pre-order them a copy now.
I'm so excited to announce that mine &
@odavies9.bsky.social book 'Folklore: A journey through the past & present' will be out this September! 'The book's key message is that folklore...is and always has been ubiquitous, dynamic and political' manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526180384/
So here's a thought. How about governments don't rip up copyright law to help out the chancers chasing this destructive mirage, but pivot to defending and supporting the creative industries which make money for their economies.
Cover art shows a lethal, pale-scaled serpent-dragon or wyrm lurking in woodland. It looks straight at you as its forked tongue flickers between open, sharp-toothed jaws. Cover copy reads: THE GREEN MAN’S WAR For a few years now, the Green Man has sent Daniel Mackmain to resolve clashes between ordinary people and the supernatural world. Dan has found allies among folk from myth and met other humans who can see the uncanny. He has also made dangerous enemies. Someone has decided to put a stop to this interference once and for all. Dan and his friends are about to find themselves in the firing line.
The Green Man's War is an Amazon UK offer for 99p for the whole of March. For those trying to move away from shopping with US billionaires, Wizard's Tower Press has made the same deal available from Kobo (based in Canada, Japanese owners):

Facebook post from Gov Tim Walz: "That’s a shame. If your Republican representative won’t meet with you because their agenda is so unpopular, maybe a Democrat will. Hell, maybe I will. If your congressman refuses to meet, I’ll come host an event in their district to help local Democrats beat ‘em."
Are your Congressional reps refusing to hold town halls? Tim Walz will come to your district and meet with residents instead.
