- Reposted by Assaph Mehr 📚⚔️🕵️👻🏺🏛️🤖For those not in the know, @assaph.bsky.social runs many awesome blogs, including one based on interviews with characters from your novels. Only fair for Deborah, one of my debut's antagonists, to speak. Come take a peek inside the mind of a Keeper. #WritingCommunity 🪐📚 💙📚 #AmWriting #WriteSky
- Fun times 😀👻🗡️🏛️
- That was a fun story to write - I might have gone a bit wild with pop culture references (if you can call Coleridge pop culture 🤣). Free novella, if you haven't read it.
- Still funny 🤣🤣 Also, still buy my books 😉
- Fun fact: when I need to (re)build writing habits (happens far too often as I get distracted 😅) I make myself write one sentence every day. For me, it's the act of doing something daily that opens up the gates to more writing and faster progress.
- Too much buzz recently on something that's not worth the mental anguish: egretia.com/2026/01/07/a...
- Reposted by Assaph Mehr 📚⚔️🕵️👻🏺🏛️🤖I haven't been hanging around Bluesky much for a while, and my pinned post was wildly out of date! The Nexus Season One: Unseen World is COMPLETE now!! And the full season "binge box" is on preorder now! storyoriginapp.com/universalboo...
- I got to write that story! Well, close enough 😉 Our next anthology will feature Felix dealing with cursed cheese... 🧀🤣
- Looking back on 2025 egretia.com/2025/12/31/2...
- 😂
- Someone made a comment about my previous post on commas, which reminded me of this 🤣
- A, B, and C can happen at the same time 😂
- Laughing way too hard at this 🤣
- Always true 😜🤣
- Short version: A silly read for when you’re in the mood for a thoughtless romp, entertainment without demands. egretia.com/2025/12/10/b...
- Which is why my novels go deep on Fish Sauce 🤣
- A year since release, and I still love it 🥰📚
- Reposted by Assaph Mehr 📚⚔️🕵️👻🏺🏛️🤖Today @kitvaria.bsky.social reviews @assaph.bsky.social's Murder in Absentia - JI 🐉 "The combination of historical inspiration, original fantasy touches, and a wry but capable protagonist makes this a memorable read." fantasy-faction.com/2025/murder-... #booksky
- Utterly true - what a nice observation :) #writerslife
- Authors appreciate fans too 😊
- Authors appreciate fans too 😊
- This is so true 😅 #writerslife #indieauthor
- We don't do it for money*, we do it for fun! * Not real money, anyway.
- Tonight's protagonist interview :) 📚 theprotagonistspeaks.com/2025/11/28/a...
- Short version: A fun read in this long-running urban-fantasy police-procedural series. Worth a read if you want an light adventure without much commitment. If you want to start in beginning (or have missed a few in between) check my previous reviews. egretia.com/2025/11/26/b...
- Ah, yes, the first short short mystery for Jack - the ultimate crossover of ghosts and puns 👻
- 2-minute laugh out loud: egretia.substack.com/p/poor-dead-...
- This resonates 😅
- A fun and informative exercise, for both civic duty and writing 🧑⚖️📚 egretia.com/2025/11/12/j...
- Real life jury duty and how it translates to writing fantasy police procedurals 😉 egretia.com/2025/11/12/j...
- Ah, yes, that time when we used necromancy and raised spirits to get book reviews. The length publishers have to go these days 😂
- #WritersTip 🤣🤣🤣Don't use a big word when a singularly unloquacious and diminutive linguistic expression will satisfactorily accomplish the contemporary necessity.Retry
- Folding a few book & TV/movie reviews into an exercise in critical thinking about the art of storytelling, using comparisons to learn about each medium’s rules, strengths, and weaknesses egretia.com/2025/10/29/o...
- No 4 or a character name generator -- at which point it becomes no. 4 😅
- Only for one character, and that's because I wanted things simpler (for me) at the start. Other parents were kept alive when they made characters' lives more... interesting 😜
- A rather philosophical exercise of comparative analysis of mediums: how do books translate to the screen, based on recent experiences (an d my conclusions will likely surprise you!) egretia.com/2025/10/29/o...
- Tonight's protagonist interview :) theprotagonistspeaks.com/2025/10/24/s... -> @renasartain.bsky.social
- Make it so 🤣
- Just in time for the spooky season 👻 The book that has everything* from #ghosts featureing in courtroom drama, revenge, intrigue, homicidal walking statues, and an obligatory trip down the sewers... * Except an actual kitchen sink. It's based on #AncientRome, after all 🤣
- Sounds like something Felix could have solved 😜 see the whole 🏺 thing here: mediachomp.com/roman-ring-m...
- This is brilliant! 😆 "FRENCH POLICE have immediately ended all efforts to recover priceless Napoleon-era jewellery from the Louvre taken in a daring heist after it emerged the jewels were merely stolen for the purposes of training AI software." waterfordwhispersnews.com/2025/10/20/l...
- This pun is painful 🤣🏺
