Congratulations! Illustrations look great!

Asteria, thank you for highlighting that all art and illustrations were done by humans, I think that’s so important to emphasize in the Substack fiction community. I really enjoy your cozy fantasy writing and would love to have a copy; I’m traveling to Germany soon and would love to know which shops sell the physical copy? Many thanks! 🀍

Oh absolutely. All the illustrators I worked with did traditional watercolour. I've seen all the sketches before I received the finished product so I can be very certain about this.

I'm happy to hear you enjoy it, thank you so much. They can be ordered for pick-up in stores at Thalia and Hugendubel. I don't think any store carries physical copies, for that it's probably too niche.

Have fun in Germany πŸ’›

This feels like walking into a beachside shop full of bells that ring even after the wind has quit, the kind that makes your chest squeeze because you know it’s all true in the gut and soft in the bone. I can see every story in my mind like little lanterns on a shore where the tide pulls memory in and out, not leaving anything truly gone but ever shimmering. The dog who sees the sea, the lighthouse that wants to blink out its own light those are the kinds of tales that curl around your ribs long after the page ends

Thank you so much. I’m taking it slow, haha, but yeah, I should really start doing that

Thank you so much. You know me, marketing isn’t my area, but I’ll start slow(er than you may think), haha
