"I thought fairy godmother's were for ladies."

She shrugged, "Sometimes men need a little magic too."

The scruffy young man looked down at himself, then at the list of tasks he still hadn't completed, after hours, for free, "A little magical help would be nice..."

"To the gala with you, charm some princes, be back by midnight," said the fairy godmother tucking away her wand then pulling on her programmer socks, "I'll finish up here."

@bookstodon My #review of Archangel's Lineage (Guild Hunter #16) by Nalini Singh is now live! Nothing remarkable plotwise, but there's plenty of interesting new developments here that'll hopefully be expounded upon in the next books in the series.

The kettle was always the right temperature for the intended beverage, nor did it require fire nor electricity.

Yet it was always cool to the touch. This tended to startle people, especially if they had placed it on a stove and witnessed a typical whistle of steam.

It had been created by a tea-loving wizard, then given as a gift to the wizard's favorite tea-loving Influencer.

It was delivered by raven because the wizard was too chai.

Haven't mentioned this for a bit, but if you like urban fantasy novels with gay romance in them that are set in 1969, a/ you have very specific taste, and b/ I have a book for you. Now with the added cred of being shortlisted for a Lammy in gay romance.

Book 2 in the series is also out, with book 3 coming in October.

As an #author I often assume knowledge that I should ask about. So, here's the ask: As an average person, if you saw a woman in an urban situation with a #wolf (it is a wolf but nobody is saying it is a wolf), would you assume it was a #dog?

Please boost for maximum sample size.

Feel free to comment if you have experience with telling the difference or studying #wolves.

KING MAKER is the first book of Maurice Broaddus’ ambitious KNIGHTS OF BRETON COURT trilogy, a unique re-telling of the legend, playing out on the crime ridden streets of an African-American neighbourhood in Indianapolis. Check out my review to find out if the book warrants the plaudits that describe it as The Wire meets Excalibur. @bookstodon

Magic is found in many places; liminal spaces, trinkets, most books and of course, within Every Person.

For some it is buried too deep to easily access, for others, cyclists in particular, they overflow with more than dimensional stability can handle.

For the Clestalia Cabal, it was a daily struggle to discreetly siphon off the excess magic from unsuspecting cyclists.

The whole process looked questionable but explaining it was worse.

The car parked on the flowerbed, to the displeasure of the gardener.

"Thought it was part of the lawn," the driver shrugged unapologetically, before rushing across the road to the theater.

Inside a small pug put its paws on the window with a sad whine.

"Poor little friend," mumbled the gardener, drawing a series of sigils in the dirt under the car.

Ten minutes later a wolf-beast tore through the car's roof and fled to a better home.

A shudder of wind shaken branches woke the little prince from his deep slumber.

This would not do, and he immediately called to his mother, yowling as he searched through his home.

She was watching her magic window again. He hopped onto her desk, obscuring her view.

"Sorry, one moment," she said, shifting him to his own magic window full of birds.

"You spoil that cat," chided the coven leader.

"Cats exist to be spoiled!"

#WritersCoffeeClub 3/3: How much of your worlds are invented versus real? Give examples.

The Cloud Lands: totally invented. With dragons.

The Holy Empire: completely invented. Without dragons.

The Wolves? Our world, with the addition of shifters. I use Google Maps a LOT.

Franssisi Four: Invented planet, terraformed far in the future. With Aliens.

I prefer writing in invented worlds. It means so much less research. 😂

The drum solo echoed throughout the neighborhood; a strange rattle of air pressure in the distance, a soul shaking thunder in the room it emanated from, but everywhere in between, an energizing rhythm, that made everyone move just a little faster.

The elf finally stopped, wiping glittering sweat from her brow, "How was that?"

"I asked for a beat. That was a seismic event!"

"It's the only way I know how to play."

"Then you're hired!"

Normally, today would be the last day to get both novels as buy one, get one free, but because of leap year you have until tomorrow.

Urban fantasy + gay romance + mythology + the '60s. A grad student and a librarian fight a god.

The cat scurried about, under the floorboards, above the floorboards, along the walls, and at one point someone claims, along the ceiling.

The cat was hunting shadow imps, and the place had many little dark corners.

It wasn't sure why... probably something to do with too much negative energy, or dog hair, both were pretty bad.

Eventually, the cat was full, so the job was done enough for now; time for a nap, then more food!
