I've recently read a book and played a game that had redemption arcs in them, and it just got me thinking about them and why I love them. So I thought I'd do a little discussion on why I like them and what makes them work for me, and then give some...
I sort of wanted to do something for Valentine's Day (not that I'm celebrating, but I've been blogging for over seven years, I need to get ideas from somewhere), so this is what I decided on! Because book covers are fun. I have to be honest, I was a little bit lazy and mostly looked through covers I already had on my blog from previous posts. But not everyone has seen all those...
Jonathan and Forrest have been together for almost a year now, but Forrest's ex caused him a lot of pain he never dealt with, and when the man comes back to town, Jonathan questions Forrest's feelings. Unbeknownst to Forrest, a bit of magic is just what he needs to sort it all...
The first month of the new year is over. *Phew* I guess? I made more art! I tried something different, using Rebelle 5 Pro. But alas, I still suck at watercolor, even digitally. This picture has grown on me though, after redoing some parts and doing a bit of editing. And I messed around with it a bit and thought it looked cool without the lines...

On their mission to track down Skadi, Dali and Rion end up in a new but related mess when they encounter a sentient AI lifeform who takes over Rion's body. But, despite some disagreements, the AI has similar goals and may prove an ally when things turn even...
I wasn't sure how to explain this in the title. Cozy, chill, intimate, even lonely in a thought-provoking sort of way---this sort of feeling is something I've noticed about and something that really draws me to apocalypse and post-apocalyptic books, games, etc. But I feel like that's sort of not what people associate with the genre? So that's what I wanted to talk about, plus give some...
Maia has more allies than she ever dreamed she would, but that does complicate things, and things aren't going as smoothly as she'd hoped. As her enemies make moves, plans change, and Maia and friends will have to take some serious risks if they want to stop the Emperor and the...
Valentine needs money so he can get into the city and get hormones and surgery, so when he and his salvaging partner are offered a job to retrieve stolen androids, they take it. But between feelings for the cute AI in an android body helping them, disagreements with his partner, salt pirates, and the jerks they're working for, things could get...
