Day 72 of my #SPFBOX opening reads (Covers with Cassidy)
I wanted to read more of a voice-driven dystopian steampunk. A gang of miscreant youth raid a passenger airship in a world above the mist covering the surface of the planet in Karen Lucia's Landbringer.

Selkie Moon by Kelly Jarvis is a quiet little emotional gem about mothers, daughters, and selkies. 🦭

Save the Date!
Apparently my TikTok algorithm has become author content interspersed with women screaming in metal
Here's my third #SFINCS3 semi-finalist review! Kelly Jarvis's fantasy retelling of the selkie legend is impeccably written and will make your heart ache with its relatable portrayal of mother-child relationships: beforewegoblog.com/sfincs-revie...

The image shows a scene in oranges and yellows of a city of dark towers being blown apart by a rising phoenix whose wings spread across the entire sky. In the foreground is the silhouette of a man in long coat with his arms outspread welcoming the phoenix even as flames lick up around his feet.

Team WIPs have announced our #SFINCS3 semi-finalists: beforewegoblog.com/sfincs-3-tea...
This was a really hard choice, & there were several judge favourites that didn't make the cut, so if you're not moving forward, please take heart that it was a difficult call.

Woot woot!
Let's go A Second Life Worth Living!
