While waiting for feedback on vol 1 from betas, I crossed 200 pages on my first draft of vol 2 yesterday! 🤩
(I know that "page" is not a real length metric, but, hey, I got 200 of them!)

@danielaawolfe.bsky.socialI’LL BE AT OGDEN PRIDE!
Come find me Saturday, October 3! I’ll have signed copies of Fractured Rune, queer bookish goodies, and my usual author nonsense.
Come say hi and support your local trans author!

@balthazarhowle.comThe prince uses a (fairly) innocent lie as an excuse to bring the soldier to his chambers. The soldier calls him out on it, but only because he wishes for the prince to be direct with him.
He doesn’t stay upset about it for too long 😏
@balthazarhowle.comThe soldier tells flirty things to the prince in orcish—a language the prince doesn’t understand.
When asked about what it means, the soldier refuses to answer, or tells him it means something else. 🧵
@thewitchofukraine.bsky.social❤️🔥 ☀️ Chapter 38 of #TheDrommalaPact is live.
Toren returns with answers.
Dorian, meanwhile, discovers that some Forest words require no translation.

@balthazarhowle.comThe sequel will explore the lives of trans / nb people, and we will be seeing much more of the sexual preference spectrum 🌈
@balthazarhowle.comWe get to spend time with WLW as well. They don’t face scrutiny for that, but certain sexist ways are unfortunately still deeply rooted in how the world operates. 🧵
@balthazarhowle.comThe soldier, who is rather famous across the land, is openly gay and few bat an eye, although some choose to ignore this when making their advances.
The prince has been courted by men before, and it raised some eyebrows, but not because it was by another man. 🧵
@danielaawolfe.bsky.socialSometimes being an ExMormon means sneaking extremely specific religious jokes into your fantasy world. 😂
Voluspans call the Fyrisian Hofrad the “Prodigious and Contemptible Church.”
ExMormons might get the reference. 👀

@aldreaalien.bsky.socialWeek 17's snippet from the prologue of my m/m romantic fantasy wip, In Fury and Heresy.

@danielaawolfe.bsky.socialIf you’ve read Fractured Rune, you probably have no idea how FUCKING WEIRD The Aeldstorm Saga is going to get.
Reality-warping storms, rune-powered tech, ancient gods, clones, whatever the fuck the Between is doing... and that’s me behaving myself
@balthazarhowle.comMy two leads help each other with these!
The prince asks him for help with combat training. Although he has talents, he can barely hold a sword.
The soldier is a horrible dancer. At one point, the teacher / student dynamic between them switches for a bit.

@danielaawolfe.bsky.socialOctober is almost here, which means I can finally start being insufferable about the updated Koltja’s Shadow cover art reveal.
You have been warned. 👀❄️

@balthazarhowle.comSome of my side characters you might want to meet...
My debut is coming out later this fall!
@danielaawolfe.bsky.socialI wrote the fantasy I wanted to find more of: a huge world, messy queer characters, rune magic, airships, terrifying gods, and a trans heretic with an axe.
That became Fractured Rune
Based on that, what would you want to know about its world first?

@danielaawolfe.bsky.socialWhat’s that? It’s definitely NOT the sound of me bawling because I’m editing the one scene in Koltja’s Shadow that makes me cry every single time. 😭
Nope. Absolutely not.
