“Songs of the Ainur, Unfolding”: My most recent piece of writing theorism and the present zenith of my self-indulgence. It’s a beautifully-written meditation on major fantasy influences over the last seventy-odd years. Within that Gothic deluge, given forth by my dark heart’s depths, I finally found words for so many notions that lingered, as wraiths […]
Recorded this 18th of Blossomflight, 9E 1197, by my own hand; I, Umbraspun Augury, do vouch for this archive’s truth and accuracy. –Essence Class: Azure Meridian– Warning: If you who read these words do so without my blessing, then know that you imperil your life and sapient soul.

From this point forward, I will allow prospective readers to set their own price when buying my books through Smashwords. “Free” is an option! I hope to apply this principle in as many places as I can, I’m just not sure where else I might sell or whether those platforms might support this. Is this […]
Hello, readers mine. As the title suggests, The Necromancer and the Revenant: Resurrected Edition is now free on Smashwords until the end of this month.

June is LGBTQ+ Pride Month, however, and as a trans woman I would be […]
If you could not tell from the title, readers mine, I’m attempting another essay today. I should clarify that I don’t believe this will be comprehensive; it cannot. I suspect it shall nonetheless run rather long! You see, today I offer my candid perspectives about several pivotal fantasy authors: three definitively high and the other […]
Hello, readers mine! I’ll keep this short because I’d like to take it easy today–through the link in the end of this sentence, The Necromancer and the Revenant: Resurrected Edition is now available on Smashwords! As per Smashwords policy and my own preference, I’ve made the first 15%, or somewhere close to 33,000 words, available to […]
My esteemed readers! I bring, in effect, not one but two new book announcements for you today! The first may seem like cheating initially: The Necromancer and the Revenant: Resurrected Edition! And yes, that title absolutely wrote itself. Before you kindle your ire under the reasonable suspicion that I am a filthy layabout double-dipping into your […]
All fantasy settings in the Twin Spirals Universe started from a piece of Neverwinter Nights fanfiction. Specifically, it was fanfiction for a certain kobold bard who first appeared in Shadows of Undrentide and went on to play a prominent role in Hordes of the Underdark.
