Apparently I haven't been talking enough about the fact that #Dogwood1 preorders are open 😅

Thanks for hosting Steve. Sorry bsky is...like this. 💀 #SFFCHAT #FreeSFFChat 😭✊

This is the announcement flyer for THE DOGWOOD CHRONICLES 1: HOUND FATALE by Aud Connelly. The cover is a starry night sky with silhouettes of trees in the foreground. The title HOUND FATALE is a mix of gothic and cursive lettering with a woodcut of a rabbit from the public domain.

Around the cover are the following details:
Gratuitous violence, profanity, and laughing at all the wrong shit.
Pathetic yearning lovesick
“bad guys”.
Messy people, trippy magic.
Alternate-timeline fantasy.
Bad takes on classic literature.

As a feral child, Owen was chosen as the Donovan family’s tithe to the otherworld—until a fey rescued him, to raise him in the human world.
Twelve years later, the Donovan family’s fortune hinges on the sale of a Stupendous Dogwood, an otherworldly tree with bioluminescent flowers, to be auctioned at the annual Dogwood Gala. The trees are such a closely guarded secret, Kenzie’s parents were killed for researching them, and her sister taken as a ward of the Donovans..
To finish her parents’ research and save her sister, Kenzie steals the key to the mine that holds the secret to the trees’ origins. Her actions reawaken the Hound, the Donovans’ cursed fey servant. Though his original master is dead, the Hound is enslaved to the current heir: Rowan, the disappointing scion of a legacy he cannot begin to understand. But if commanding the Hound to find the key will cement the approval of Rowan’s family, so be it.
Owen’s knowledge of the otherworld proves invaluable to Kenzie’s work, while his sweetness entrances the Hound, delaying his search for the key. As the three conspire behind Rowan’s back to undo a string of Donovan crimes against nature, their discoveries force more of their own secrets into the light, casting shadows of doubt on each other and reality itself, and setting off a chain-reaction of consequences for the people and fey who live there.

I am at work, I canno snip at this time.

But if I could: I would snip this scene of Lunaris interacting with a bartender who calls Later Down The Lunacy Lines “those spooky mask dudes.”

#SFFchat #Dogwood1

Here was a laboratory, equipped with work tables, appliances, and storage cabinets arranged around a central point: the sole source of light, a Stupendous Dogwood tree growing directly from the concrete floor, cast in the eerie amber glow of emergency lights. Its flowers were dimmer than the ones aboveground, like glow-in-the-dark stars losing their charge.

#SFFChat Surprisingly, NONE of those words were in Raw 😂
But I DID use the word "haunted" in The Witch of Eden Hollow, with poor Sterling confusing "I have feelings for the Witch of the Elder Grove" with "I must be bewitched."

*Why did I do it? Why?*

Theodore was left to ponder it, which was dangerous. Why did he kiss Elias? Why was he so impulsive? He could not understand it.

Infuriatingly, Theodore refused to stop thinking about it. It haunted him for more than a week. He thought about it while at Sabbath. He thought about it while travelling through town and working with the Millers. He thought about it late at night, in the dark, when the world would not judge him for being too self-indulgent.

Such a debilitating spell was placed upon him. It was disorganising his thoughts. This had to be a bewitchment. There was no other reason. But if that were true, then why did the witch push him away and reprimand him? Why did he claim that Theodore was the one tricking him?

Behold! Its Gary! Being... you know... the way it is!

Being used to something didn’t mean you necessarily enjoyed its presence, though. Penny kept her breathing even and her gaze relaxed when the carcasses rolled across the floor, meat and sinew bubbling and popping as Gary made a body for itself. Her empty stomach churned. The NDA made this so much harder than necessary. Penny took a step back. If she was going to vomit she needed to not do it on her summoning circle.
“Speak, summoner.” Gary’s voice was a rotten-meat whisper. Amber lights glittered in the sockets of the lamb’s skull

“It happens more nearer the Void.”

“The Void?” Akieryon repeated softly, his thoughts ranging far.

“What, where those gross creepy Lost Soul thingies come from?” Ragheiyont said a little too loudly. Several of the Cherubim stopped singing and gave them wary looks.

#SFFChat Q4. A short but, I think, properly eerie one!

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms #BattlemageAskaly

A soft red light bathed the buildings through the purple dome that encircled the island, a facsimile of Outworld’s sky. Yet, there was no sun or any of the rocky rings that crowned the planet, and the eerie sensation of being trapped in an illusion only grew worse as Askaly noticed how quiet, how lifeless, everything was: no animals, no rustling of leaves or whistling of wind, no footsteps left on the sand.

From Island of the Baboon God, Freyjrulf's first story with me

The graven stars, designed with odd sharp angles, swelled on the walls, surrounded and connected by swirling lines. In the sunlight, they glowed faintly with their own light. Near the idol’s head, a naked woman danced, stars falling from her fingertips and face turned upwards in joy. Freyjrulf looked up, and jerked his gaze away again. The image still burned in
his mind. Though the crude image of the bleeding eye was only a carving, it held power like no other emblem of the gods did. The creator god did not need or care for worship. The Ancients did so anyway. Now they were dust, and their nameless god still haunted the nightmares of any who saw its representation.

#SFFChat A4: i’ll give you wicked

We stood there in the hall in awkward silence for a bit. Praeferox looked about the room so “you want me to go, don’t you?” I thought to ask.
“Usually, no, but there’s going to be a gathering and I need to prepare,” she said, “I know you don’t like them.”
“Well, the people avoid me as though I’m a wicked shade… well everyone, except you,” I grumbled. “Not that that’s much different from when everyone avoided me for being taёn.”
“I know.” she sighed. “I’ll be available tomorrow.”
I nodded and headed out.

Apparently, the #SFFChat account has been suspended, according to the note Bluesky left. Sob.

#SFFChat:

Hi, everyone! I was in the middle of replying to someone and the account got suspended. ): No idea why (I assume reposts?). I'll post the rest of the questions here for tonight, but I did send a very brief appeal when prompted.

Apologies if I don't reply to reposts on the first few
