Books in Shadows of Eireland series by Joanna Maciejewska and text:
I patched up the wounded the best I could and moved on to the next mythborn as the rescuers were pulling more and more victims out. What a career advancement, to move from an information broker to a paramedic elbow-deep in her former enemies’ blood!

Saint Patrick's Day is coming, and if you can't make it to Ireland, my urban fantasy series might be what will take you there!
Start with book 1 and binge through the series:

Thank you! The environment wasn't the easiest to work with (the way the creator made this model), but I was happy with the final result, and it justified the struggle.

Today is one of those days when I'm trying to be productive and so some work, while something inside me just wants to scream and scream...

This was one of my quick creations. I needed a mental break from creating art for Sanguine Scenario, so I put something together to test the new environment. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. What do you think?

Today is International Day of Awesomeness, so it's a perfect time to say: you are awesome. Whether you're a fan, casual reader, fellow author, or just passing by, you are awesome! Thank you for being here!
But I want to know… what do you think is the most awesome thing about you?

Just a reminder, to celebrate my 45th birthday, I'm offering 45% off all my e-books this month. The catch? You have to get them from my store. The benefit? You own the file, and the discount stacks with bundle discount.
And if you don't want books, eat a piece of cake for me! 😉

Devouring Fortune book cover. Features a woman with folded arms on the cover. Her arms are crossed. She has straight black hair and her skin is light brown. She has a haunted expression. She is dressed in a white priestess outfit with wrapped bandages up her arms. Behind her lurks a monstrous skeleton whispering in her ear. They are surrounded by red flowers.

I'm happy to say today is the day for the book cover reveal of DEVOURING FORTUNE! @jeleynai.bsky.social did an incredible job on the illustration, I'm in awe.

For fans of Tanith Lee and A.K. Larkwood, about bargains gone wrong.

It's 10:30 am now. I've been up since 5 am.
And I just spent the whole morning redoing the line art of the map for Sanguine Scenario, because I didn't like the original. My arm is about to fall off, but it was well worth the effort. And unless I find something else to fix, the map is done!

I remember it and miss it!
Such a great show.
I even bought the series from ebay, but 2 out of 3 discs were damaged and wouldn't play. 😭

Cover of four books in Pacts Arcane and Otherwise series and text:
If anyone asked Kamira, talking to demons was like willingly walking into an assassin’s blade. She might have made a pact with one, but both she and her demon were happy enough to reap the benefits of the pact without engaging in too many conversations.

She might have made a pact with one, but both she and her demon were happy enough to reap the benefits of the pact without engaging in too many conversations.

The main character of Pacts Arcane and Otherwise, Kamira, isn't the most trusting person, with the exception of her best friend, Veelk. Demons? They get the triple of her usual healthy distrust toward everyone, and that still feels too little. After all, you can't trust even your own pact demon.

It might be a small milestone, but I'm a small author: ;)
By the Pact has now reached 100 ratings on Goodreads!
It's a good moment to thank all my readers who not only read my books but also take time to rate and/or review them on all platforms and stores.
THANK YOU!

It's true that I rarely stray from doing fantasy and sci-fi art, but every now and then, I like to try something else. With "Trouble Brewing" I was hoping to get the feel of an old movie or a photograph. Did I succeed?

I wrote Reva when I was in my 20s. I wanted Reva to be the kind of person who broke all the rules, especially social conventions aimed at young women. Reva is angry, proud, and skilled. She refuses to believe that she can't accomplish her goals, no matter how impossible they may seem to others. Women's Day. 
Book cover of Wish Givers by Shannon Knight, including a blown-up cut-out from the cover illustration by Elizabeth Peiro of a tattooed woman smiling up at the viewer while surrounded by fire and a ring of ghosts.

For Women's Day, my friend Niranjan @ormakal.bsky.social coordinated a book bundle with 32 women authors all featuring women protagonists.

Wish Givers, my tattoo fantasy set in the islands, is part of the group.

Support 32 writers, receive 32 books, pay $32.

There's definitely a learning curve to 3d software (especially Blender, since it's so versatile). I still feel like a beginner, and I can't make my own models or textures yet.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I use Daz Studio for rendering, so I mostly shop through their website, but there's also Renderosity, CG Trader, and a lot of places that sell stuff for Blender 3D, if this is the software you use. Unity has its own market too, I think.

Loved the ones in the top row. The ones in the bottom row are high up on my list for this year.

I highly recommend Joanna's books if you love intricate plots, likeable characters, and fast-paced action.
