  In this month's spirit of adventure (and short story-writing), I've released a story for subscribers to read!
  However, I can't go 100% public with the story because I'm waiting to see whether it get accepted for a magazine submission. For the time being, I've made it available to subscribers only, **but** anyone can subscribe to my world for free. You should have the option to subscribe if you click through to the story, or you can find the subscribe button on my world's homepage.
  This piece is certainly a change of pace from what I've been writing, but often, different settings warrant such a change of pace, don't they? I hope y'all enjoy it regardless! Happy building and happy writing!
  Obligatory(?) hashtag soup: #shortstory #AdventureApril #sword&sorcery #S&S #fantasy #UnofficialChallenge

This weekend, I released something super shiny to the community: a brand new world! I invite you all to follow along as I develop the world of Ayun Sovos, a realm of charming creaturefolk driven by a passion for craft and creation, supported by the brave adventurers who venture out into the treacherous reaches of the world to fetch them the materials they need for their next big project! This world is a project of love and delight in worldbuilding, and you can expect bright, cheery stories, places, people, and things all around. As I pull Malkora down a darker and more complex path moving forward, Ayun Sovos will be the warm home I can always retreat to whenever things start feeling a little too real.
  I can't wait to show you all of the fun things I have planned for this world! Keep your eyes peeled for a new unofficial challenge coming your way for the month of March! :)
