#FantasyIndiesSpooktober 10
Saturday Snippet

Here's another one from Rites of Departure 😁

blue background with black text Text reads: It's well after midnight, and I've forgotten that my living counterpart requires sleep in order to function. "I'll look around the premises while you're asleep. I'll need something to keep myself occupied." He grimaces. "Promise you won't upset any of the guests. It's a *nice* inn, Zel. I'd hate to lose my good standing with the proprietor due to your antics." I feign outrage. "Antics? Do you truly think so little of me?" In truth, I *have* been considering...something. What I did would have been dependent on what I uncovered during my exploration. Old habits don't always die with one's body, you know.

Day 6

Othos Unbound definitely has a good number of villains, but I would say that these are currently the most prevalent.

Rettick is the main villain and the one pulling the strings -white beard

Hadien is his second, and is struggling with the morality of his allegiance

09: Free Friday

Marketing Friday! I have a fantasy novella, standalone, about a sleazy banker who cuts a deal with a god of chaos in order to avoid his well-deserved death. Excellent reviews so far. Check it out!

books2read.com/u/3G72J8

Unfortunate's cover. Shows a bloodied man in a dark alley, wearing a suit and clutching a rock. A storm rages outside the alley, with lightning streaking across the sky, and a single gas lamp illuminates the scene. A dead body rests near the character, with only its legs visible, and an orange eye spies the scene from within a shadow. The title is at the top of the cover, with a D20 in place of the letter O, and my name (Ayrton Silva) is written on a wall next to the character like a graffiti.

9. Books to read before 2027

Currently in the middle of LJ Ross' Heavenfield - I love her books, being from the north of England myself.
I'd also like to read I'm Afraid You've Got Dragons by Peter S. Beagle. Title and premise alone have sold me!

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober Day 9: Free Friday
My previous WIP finally has a title!

Hunted and Called

Now fully drafted and in revisions/editing. Have a snippet:

He watched as she thought that through. "But, surely the priests..." "There are no priests," he hissed. Then he caught himself and took a breath. "I tell you now things not known outside the temple. Most of the goddes have no priests. I am the first to serve the Great Goddess in /generations/ and I was only called to her service less than a year ago." "How can that be? The shrines and lesser temples are…" he watched as she remembered the temples she had seen on her travels, as the awareness filled her eyes. "… are filled with lay votaries and monks. How? Why? And what— "I mean no insult, but I have never been a follower of the Great Goddess." He burst out laughing. "And I mean no insult when I say you would make a poor one." He shook his head. "No, my goddess sent me to find you, but I hunt for another godde. I would say no more, but I think you will find yourselves well-suited." "A godde who has no priest." Iberto nodded, holding her gaze. "Who is alone and fading. One of the greatest brought low through treachery and the obliviousness of those who claimed to follow them." "And you are doing something about it. About – the monks?" "Yes." She thought some time more, then nodded. "Good. I'll skin them of everything they own, and you dispose of what's left." They grinned at each other in perfect understanding. /Ally/ the word came to him. And /partner/. It could not be done alone, but it could be /done/.

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober Day 9: Books I hope to read before the end of the year? I would really like to finish the Edith Wharton collection. I've been reading it since early July and I'm only 40% done despite skipping a few stories that appear in it more than once. There's just SO MUCH!

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober 9: Books you hope to read by the end of the year.

I've had Douglas Lumsden's Shade the Collector series on my Kindle since the very first one came out and have been waiting and waiting and waiting to read them. That'll be my reward for whenever I finish this WIP.

Nixtral-based QOTD: Based on the 6 elements of Origin, which type of Conjurer would you most like to be?

I, myself, would be a Marshwinder like Tyrhelm. Mixing plant & water magic would be pretty amazing and is one of the more versatile combos.

Day 9: Books to read before the year's end

Aside from my current reads, I hope to read Sordaneon by L. L. Stephens. Kat Kinney's Everwood Falls 3, and Fowl Blade by J. C. Faust. Mother of Exiles and/or Trip Fantastik 2 may also fit in before January.

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober Day 9:

Free Friday: The cover revamp is underway. The e-book covers are done. I still need to do the paperback version. I might keep the old covers for the hardcover (they still require updating though).

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober Day 8:

I’ve tried my best to ensure that Elysia is overpowered. She’s hydrophobic. To her, water is only good for drinking and bathing. She’s also mildly claustrophobic and equinophobic (but both are under control).

Can't say I'm doing a lot of reading right now. I've got time for that or #writing, and I'm prioritizing the latter.
