mastodon 4.7.3Author of the Memoirs of Lady Trent & more. Also 1/2 of M.A. Carrick. (she/her)
I can finally share the cover for THE WORST MONK IN OMNU, out next May from Angry Robot!
It's the story of Diligence-and-Care-in-All-Things, a Buddhist-style monk with really terrible karma, who goes on pilgrimage to try and stop disasters from happening all around them -- only to discover more (and weirder) trouble along the road . . .
THE WRITER'S LITTLE BOOK OF METER comes out tomorrow! Mysteries metrical, mapped out for you!

Just over 24 hours left, and this anthology Kickstarter is only ***$62*** away from goal!
This is your periodic reminder that word of mouth moves more books than any formal advertising! I invite you to rec something you've recently enjoyed -- preference for the stuff that's *not* already extremely well-known and talked about everywhere.
Two weeks until THE WRITER'S LITTLE BOOK OF METER comes out! And while this one is aimed at poets, prose writers, there's a fair bit to be said for staying aware of the rhythmic patterns of your words:

Five years after writing poetry became A Thing I Do, I have made it to my goal -- settled on just last week -- of writing 100 poems I consider successful! I posted about the saga here . . .
I was quiet due to travel, but LADY TRENT'S FIELD JOURNAL has unlocked a second bonus "notebook" page, and is a quarter of the way to a third one! #Kickstarter #ProjectsWeLove

Given how wild a ride the opening days have been in the #Kickstarter for LADY TRENT'S FIELD JOURNAL, I think I need to do a catch-up thread! For starters, now there will be two volumes, both available as coloring books or fully-colored art books. #ProjectsWeLove
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mariebrennan/lady-trents-field-journal-a-dragon-coloring-book
Aaaaaaaaand we're done! But if you missed the campaign, many of the rewards -- including both the coloring books and fully-colored artbooks -- are still available for late pledges! #Kickstarter #ProjectsWeLove
Now, I sleep.

One last reminder -- since the project name is now less than fully descriptive -- that there are also colored "artbook" options for both Vol. I and Vol. II, if you're not interested in the orginal coloring book version! #Kickstarter #ProjectsWeLove
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mariebrennan/lady-trents-field-journal-a-dragon-coloring-book
FINAL HOURS! Signed novels and the Vol. II Scholar's Edition add-on won't be available for late pledges, so get 'em while you can! #Kickstarter #ProjectsWeLove
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mariebrennan/lady-trents-field-journal-a-dragon-coloring-book
Thanks to a few people rejiggering their pledges in favor of the artbook version, two Scholar's Editions of the coloring book have come available again! Three days left in the campaign . . .

One last addition to LADY TRENT'S FIELD JOURNAL, as we head into the final week: I've added more full-color Scholar's Editions for Vol. I, for those of you who want the artbook version, bringing that up to par with the numbers for Vol. II!

Tonight, 7 p.m. PST! Come hear me read a story that's, er, kinda grim? But hopeful in the end? I promise?
