The cover to CE Murphy's RAVEN CALLS, book eight of the Walker Papers urban fantasy series, features heroine Joanne Walker in a dramatic Irish setting, with a castle and a golden glowing sky in the distance. She holds her rapier horizontally in both hands, as if offering it to someone. A glowing blue magical raven fills the sky above her shoulder. Cover art and design by G&S Cover Design Studio.

Release Day: RAVEN CALLS!

October 7, 2025

It’s re-release day for RAVEN CALLS! (amazon affiliate link) I’m beginning to feel the enthusiasm of the downward slide here: there are only four Walker Papers left to release after this, and I’m so excited to have the series out in the world again.

Granted, you would have to be exceptionally good at throwing stones, but still. I also discovered that despite what it looks like on the map, there actually IS a cycling/walking path all the way to…

I’m beginning to think I might get through this, guys. I’ve finished my last 2 point perspective exercise, and by “finished” we mean “I’m exhausted and grumpy and hate it so I’m done and besides the point was the PERSPECTIVE not shading and I did that so :p” and also it turns out that neither of the courses I’m following really expect you to do any 3 point perspective, so honestly, I’m just not gonna.

Recent Reads: A DARK HISTORY OF SUGAR

September 25, 2025

Recent Reads: A Dark History of Sugar by Neil Buttery – informative, interesting, and often a difficult read, as it should be I don’t know exactly how I came across this one, but I find food histories fascinating, particularly when they’re focused on one specific item and how its cultural importance affected…everything. This is a good example, following the history of sugar, particularly processed white sugar, through its development, its growing popularity, and the absolute horrors that were undertaken to fill greed both toothsome and financial. It is, as I…
