#FantasyIndiesAugust Day 24. Excerpt from Lux Victrix, out on Halloween. Heavy on spoilers: The Hunter’s Moon was pale as starlight blanching a shield. Lux had hoped to slip away, unseen by any who had known her as a human being – her father, her soul cat, her blood brother.

@RN_Atheist Why I do that for family members who can no longer do it themselves. I’m not having them looked down on by judgemental nurses. Whether you let on or not, patients can feel your disgust, and it humiliates them.
