Happy birthday to this little bean. An absolute handful, 0 survival skills, too curious for his own good, but oh, do we love him❤️

Way too much to do for one day, but it’s also raining and I love rain. So I made us compote and pancakes for breakfast ❤️

Dragon Age Inquisition was my first video game that introduced me to “there are no wrong and right dialogue choices.” Fuck corporate greed. And thanks to everyone at BioWare who did their best and made art, despite the circumstances ❤️

I’ve been trying to make a “Cymera compilation and appreciation” post. But we’ve both been absolutely knocked out on the couch since coming home. Post to follow when my eyes can stay open 😁

Also yes, I’m working out the day before a weekend of panels and readings. If I look pained while speaking, it might be the consequences of my own actions

Somewhere in this gym is another tiny person, doing the same routine as I am. Very grateful that I, for once, don’t need to adjust the height of everything 😅

Hey Scottish romantasy and dark romance readers! There’s a big romance festival on in Edinburgh this weekend! It’s got panels, signings, bookish merch, and a fantasy ball! Access is free with panels individually ticketed!❤️

Hey Scotland folk, there’s a pretty big romantasy festival happening this coming weekend in Edinburgh, with fantasy ball in the evening, panels, signings, and bookish merch! Check @cymerafestival.co.uk for the details!

Hey romantasy readers, my brain is mush from being at a con all day! Like angst, slow burn, and some monster f***ing? Get a preorder of The Ranger’s Heart!

Fantasycon was a blast! Loved catching up with friends and meeting so many new lovely faces. But wowie, was it intense! I am a heap of pyjamas on the couch. Brain mush.

At the con that had an anti-AI panel. Scum

Peter F Hamilton announcing proudly to FantasyCon that he's having an AI film made of his work is an impressive display in not knowing your audience

Anyone seen the guest list for the romantasy festival 17-18 September in Edinburgh? Because it’s stacked !

Edinburgh romantasy crowd! There’s a romantasy festival happening 17/18 September, with fantasy ball after! Check out Cymera Loves Romantasy!

The Ranger's Heart comes with TWO prints included in the preorder! Gold foil cards & a spicy print can be added on for only a bit extra❤️‍🔥 #booksky

Internet tip of the day: if a message starts with “I completely understand how you feel, and I can see how (…)” it’s written with AI, and the sender doesn’t actually care about how you feel at all. 🫡

It took some time but finally, FINALLY, the prints—and characters!—are ready for their reveal. Tarot card style, gilded, and appropriately dramatic! You can get these with your paperback preorders or grab them from me at events! Art by @sky_ry_scribbles on IG

So, NetGalley… so far about 80% of requests seem people who are wanting to pirate your book. Year-long members who haven’t left reviews. Interestingly, I’m also getting bot AI spam from it to help me “increase my NetGalley reach”.

Are those few legit reviews going to be worth the guaranteed piracy that’s about to happen? Guess we’ll find out 🤷

Found this beauty in the garden. Messaged my partner 😂 And no, I did not eat the witchy mushroom

Hey ARC readers, The Ranger's Heart is now on NetGalley and I'm a bit floored by the interest in the first 30 minutes alone! If you like romance with a dash of trauma, rush ye over!

Suffering from a lack of fresh pastries after leaving France, and it’s clearly affecting my marketing brain. So, ehrm… Oui, oui, buy my books s’il vous plait?

When it's the monster who wants more than just casual... (You can preorder The Ranger’s Heart as ebook and paperback!)

Sometimes politics are complicated. Do you take money from the oil company if you can reinvest it into conservation? I heard a doctor talk about having to amputate a girl’s leg while she was awake.

I’ve read the “I don’t want to get blood on my clothes.” Sometimes politics are really fucking easy. You’re on the side that doesn’t murder children by the dozens on the daily.

If you pre-order The Ranger's Heart, you'll get two inlays with it for the high price of nothing! There's also an option to get an additional NSFW print, and two gilded prints (to be revealed very very soon!). Or even some handmade matching DnD dice! You can pre-order here: buff.ly/gzBJNnG

We'll be at Tabletop Scotland this weekend (Sat 5th & Sun 6th)! Do say hello if you spot our Cymera stand 🤩

Progress report! Lots and lots done today to get everything ready for tomorrow. Some finishing touches happening and then final setup in the morning. Remember: You can buy your ticket online AND on the gates of the North turnstiles.

Extra print? Extra print! The back of the book turned out so amazing, I thought I'd get it included with preorders as a separate print! If you preorder directly via my site, your paperback copy will come with this print included!

Many late nights later, and the files are off! I'm super excited to finally be able to get a physical copy of this gorgeous book. And since the next few weeks are going to be all about art, I thought I'd share the very first mock up!

A little imp told me The Druid’s Bindings is on sale for £0.99/$0.99 this weekend! Grab yourself a horny devil for near to nothing!

Finally, FINALLY, some proof for you that art is definitely in the works! My partner has been working hard on it, and what better time to showcase it than their birthday❤️ Test prints are being ordered soon, that gold will be foiled on the final version!✨️👀

The amazing Indiebookdirectory have organised a massive sale this weekend! You can grab yourself a stupidly cheap copy of The Druid's Bindings and a plethora of other amazing romance books! Check the others out via their IG page!

“Gender affected sport”. I’ve done parkour for a long time. We never separated in groups of male vs. female. What absolute bullshit. Deeply disappointed and disappointing. I know who I won’t be jumping with again.

ParkourUK implements a trans exclusionary policy parkour.uk/files/transg... This applies to anyone over 16, which the bigots on Twitter say is not far enough. Clearly they want as many trans people harmed as possible.
