IT’S NOT REALLY A COMMUNIST REVOLUTION. ITS MORE REVOLUTIONARY LARPING:  Our Descent into Clown World.

YEAH. I’VE NOTICED:  FDA commissioner betrays his ADHD ignorance.

Hot take: there is no writers’ strike. They’re just covering up for their inability to work without Adderal…

FROM M. C. A. HOGARTH:  Zafiil Volume 1: FireBorn UnPainted.

Zafiil Volume 1: FireBorn UnPainted by [M.C.A. Hogarth]

Enter into the heart of an alien race in the first historical novel set in the Peltedverse…

Thousands of years ago, the God of the Faulfenza promised His people He would send a messiah to lead them into a Golden Age, alongside the Others: aliens who would be to them as brothers and sisters. Not a generation has passed without longing for the fulfillment of that Promise.

Zafiil Paidiiza Qodii has dreamed of finding the Others since she was a child, a dream that spurred her to train as leader of one of the Faulfenza’s galactic scout teams. Against all odds, hers is the ship that makes the prophesied discovery–and reveals the cost of the God’s promises, and the part she is destined to play in His designs…

Zafiil: FireBorn Unpainted begins the epic saga of the Faulfenza’s first contact with the Pelted Alliance, and unveils at last the mysteries of one of the Peltedverse’s most beloved alien races.

FROM MAGGIE HOGARTH: Marda Quincesinger, Postulant.

Marda Quincesinger, Postulant (Coracle Book 1) by [Maggie Hogarth]

When the Adversary shattered the world, the Savior and her Companions kept the remaining pieces from falling into the void. The school they established trains young boys and girls to continue their work, healing the cracks, facing wrongbeasts, and reversing the aims of the Adversary wherever they can.

And all of this is work for heroes, as far as Marda Quincesinger is concerned. She’s more interested in the cake her mother’s baking her for her fourteenth birthday than in taking on the daunting work of an Outremer. But faced with the chance to help her family, she decides to see if she has what it takes to join the Outremers’ ranks.

Full half the hopefuls who arrive for their first year don’t return. Will Marda be one of them? Or will she find the hero in herself?

A gentle story in the tradition of the Chronicles of Narnia, Anne of Green Gables, and Harry Potter.
