Signal boost this please!

For those of you who don’t know the story behind UNFETTERED, Shawn Speakman published it to help pay his medical bills after cancer treatment. He’s doing a follow up to pay forward the good will he received in his time of need.

Some great authors here and a great cause! Please consider pre-ordering a copy.

I’ve got a story in this!

I really, really love what Bantam has done with the covers for Robin Hobb’s Farseer/Fitz books. As Fitz ages through the series, those changes are reflected on the covers, hinting at the epic journey that he goes on through his life.

“The Colour of the Sky on the Day the World Ended”

Today is my Nini's birthday. She’s turning three hundred and eighty-four years old. That might seem old, especially if you're under a hundred and can't think of how somebody could live that long, but if you met my Nini, you'd believe her.

Her labret flaps against her chin as she speaks, like a fish gasping its last breath in the bottom of a skiff. One day I will wear a labret too. I wonder if mine will ever be so big and beautiful. My sister once said that our Nini's lip disgusts her, and that she'll never be like our Nini. Or Mother. I can still feel the sting of her words. Mother died one the day the ocean rose in anger and swept away the world—the day the sky crashed to earth like heavenly fire—the day the mountain unleashed its fury.

She asks me to bring her a gift. “A treasure to keep me young.”

Hnnngggg.

Pixel art is often bright and over-saturated, a throw-back to the 8- and 16-bit eras, which is one of the things I love about it—which makes this piece all the more striking. That palette! Capturing the feeling of early morning light leaking in through the window is impressive.
