Sometimes we resist reading specific books. Perhaps they're too popular, and we think they can never live up to the hype. Perhaps we've heard something we don't like about the author. Perhaps we just dislike the cover, or have reasons entirely our own. #💙📚 #Booksky

And it's LIVE on ITCH-IO! DOWNLOAD IT HERE FOR $4.99! verati404.itch.io/echo-sight A disabled shapeshifter tries to save a city with the one person who could undo their whole life...or free it. #lgbt #lgbtqa+ #QueerWriters #books #💙📚 #💙🪐 #💙🌶 #booksky #EchoSight #fantasy #mystery #WritingCommunity

The cover of my novel, Echo Sight. The main character is wearing a feather cloak and holds a flame in their keft hand and a chain weapon in their right. They float above an underground lake with memories rippling in the water. Behind them, mostly obscured in the dark behind the stalagmites, is a dragon with bright, glowing eyes, watching them.

On top of this cover are blue word bubbles with what you'll find within the book: Adult main character, wise-ass funny narrator, disability and mental health rep, 400 plus page count, LGBT romance, found family, themes of environmentalism, justice, and intersectionalism, shapeshifters, fungal monsters, a near-future tech world, magical realism, and "there was only one bed."

A modern map of the alien continent where my novel takes place. It is scribbled on in red ink, with such hits as a travel checklist and some guy's phone number, a badly-proportioned spider, and the entire Sporelands scribbled out with the word "No," in all caps. The focus of the map is a circled city named Akert near the Gulf of Afredal's coast

The opening to Echo Sight:
Chapter 1 - The Senka Problem

Blood never clings to phoenix feathers. Symbolic, I guess, though mostly just convenient for me at the time. The guy at my feet was super dead.

The feather quills of my cloak dragged the concrete, so I held its hem close as I crouched beside the body. Raindrops hissed as each one pelted the exposed skin on my face and hands. In the bleak, stormy night, my halo did basically nothing that the bright harbor lights didn't.

"Fucking great," said the big man standing over me.

A dark-haired man commanding ocean waves with the movements of his hands. His expression is stern in concentration. He wears a pair of large earrings and a necklace vial containing liquid within. His black formal shirt is soaked through, and underneath him is the words "Echo Sight," the title of the novel he's from.

Happy Birthday to Dame #AgathaChristie, the Queen of Mystery! Born on this day in 1890, she is the best-selling novelist of all time, her work outsold only by the Bible and by William Shakespeare. Her creations, Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot, are as famous as she is. #💙📚 #Booksky

Friendly reminder that bsky has an option to turn on 'alt text' for all images, and it will not let you post until you have popped that in. Very very helpful if you're forgetful like I am, and a quick and easy path to helping the internet be accessible for all :-) #booksky #💙📚

what i don’t get as a reader is forcing yourself through a book you absolutely don’t like. dnfing is not a cardinal sin. take it from someone who is a chronic dnf’er of books i don’t like. read what you like, it’s for your enjoyment. no one else’s! #booksky #💙📚 #readers
