I have an exciting announcement!

I’m going to be published!

Yes, yes, I know that you know all about the Turrim Archive stuff.

But I’ve had a kind of secret project going on in the background this spring, and I am so excited to finally be able to shout about it!

You may remember that I’ve talked quite a bit about H.L. Burke’s books around here. Several of her stories have made it into my Favorite Fifteen Fantasy Reads for the past couple of years. And I am a major fan of her Superhero universe — called The SVR. It’s an awesome series of superhero books with all kinds of epic adventures and fun. If you enjoyed the older Marvel movies, like Iron Man 1 and Thor and the first Avengers movie… then you’ll probably love this world and series.

Wrapping Up Winter Ishness

I’m feeling highly nostalgic lately…

But I think “ishness” just is such a lovely word that does such a great job of conveying all the implied updates, adventures, and episodes of life. Tips hat to Deborah for starting the trend.

Anyway… 2024.

It’s been… a whirlwind, a blur, a kick in the teeth? I’m not even sure how to describe or define how the first three months of this year have gone. But there’s definitely been a lot happening.

Before we get too far into the update however, I have three announcements!

Ehsan's Ride Guest Post Short Story by Jessica A Tanner

There are only a few days of February left, dear friends.

Thank you all so much for making February is Fantasy Month super magical.

It’s been a true pleasure having so many wonderful guests over, I hope you have all found some new authors and bloggers to follow and investigate through these posts and short stories!

Today I am excited to be sharing Jessica A. Tanner’s short story, Ehsan’s Ride, with you. I am loving the fact that I got TWO fantastical short stories that are horse-themed, as my first reading love was horses (and dogs) and so two stories tying my two loves of horses and fantasy together are just absolutely thrilling my heart!
