Ever keeping his weary eyes on
That pea-green sail on the far horizon,
Singing the Jumbly Chorus still
As he sate all day on the grassy hill,
"Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and the hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a sieve."
- Edward Lear, "The Dong with a Luminous Nose"
🎨 Leonard Brooke

The Jumblies sailing in their sieve. An illustration by Leonard Leslie Brooke.

A square graphic created by using multiple layers of design details. The background is an illustration of a landscape. The landscape is a city with oriental architecture, shrouded by a deep cloudy mist. In the center is a large palace with a tall spire, framed by a large red solar eclipse dominating the sky. Layered on top in the center of the graphic, is a transparent white square with a black outline, showing the photo behind and creating a border out of it within the graphic. Inside this square border is the graphic title in bold gray text outlined with black, which reads "Below the Heavens." Directly underneath that in bold red text outlined with black is the subtitle, which reads "For lovers of Asian-inspired epic high fantasy!". Beneath the subtitle are 5 red stars, the rating given. Below that in bold gray text outlined with black is a quote, which reads: "I love the rich world-building. Traditionally-published epic fantasy has so rarely featured Asian-inspired settings, and it is a joy to see the myths and folktales that I grew up with play into the world of “Below the Heavens.” " Below that is more text that reads "Free e-novel".

A square graphic created by using multiple layers of design details. The background is a photo of a large and vast library with arched ceilings and gloomy lighting. Layered on top in the center of the graphic, is a transparent gray square with a black outline, showing the photo behind and creating a border out of it within the graphic. The title reads "Two New Releases!" in bold gray text, and below that to the left is a graphic of the book cover.

I wanted to do a title and cover reveal now that I'm publishing book three of my indie book series, Below the Heavens!

The amazing art was done by the wonderful Kiguri over on X, @/nomaismar!

A square reveal graphic created by using multiple layers of design details. The background is a darkened photo of a worn, wooden shelf with haphazardly stacked books filling it to the brim. Layered on top in the center of the graphic, is a transparent white square with a black outline, showing the photo behind and creating a border out of it within the graphic. In the middle of this square frame is another black outline frame which is rectangular and has rounded corners. This frame contains a book cover, which features a graphic art landscape. The landscape is a city with oriental architecture, shrouded by a deep cloudy mist. In the center is a large palace with a tall spire, framed by a large yellow solar eclipse dominating the sky. Over the top of this art work, in bold gray text outlined with black, is the series name, "Below the Heavens." Below that in the same text but slightly larger is the book title, "Sands Under a Silent Sun". Underneath the title in bold red text with a black outline is the author's name, "CKMo".

Had to take a short break from social media, but I'm back!

I bring an offering; a quick little mood board for one of the characters from my indie novel series, Primrose. She's an an assassin type with an interesting backstory that's fleshed out a lot in book two!

A graphic created using multiple elements. The background is the cover art for the first novel in the Below the Heavens series. It's zoomed in to focus on a tall oriental-style tower, with misty clouds surrounding it and the red glow of an eclipse in the sky. Layered above this is an ornate golden frame with multiple boxes in it. The top box is a horizontal rectangle, featuring a photo of deep blue primroses with golden centers and thin white lines around each petal. Underneath this and to the left is a vertical rectangle featuring a knee length dress with black lace ruffles and an elegant blue corset. Below that is a square showing fiery orange curls in an updo. To the right of these two mini-frames is another which features four different throwing daggers on a red cloth. There is script in the top corner of this frame, which reads "Primrose". Underneath the three middle frames is another horizontal rectangle that contains more blue primroses.

Below that in bold gray text outlined with black is a quote, which reads: "The storm that had gathered above the Slumbering Forest shone a bright silver-gray under the moonlight, and Molam saw a serpentine silhouette imprinted against the clouds. It could only be the dragon RainBringer as she coiled through the air and spread thunderheads throughout the skies. Judging by her direction, he guessed that she was on her way to Spike Maelstrom, EarthShaker's lair." Below that is more text that reads "First Chapter Excerpt. Free e-novel".
