C.E. Cannery's Blog

After doing some bad fan art of other books, I realized that I never actually tried to draw my own stuff, so here's my hand at it.
From Maygest's Tale


If it’s too hard to read, from right to left is Maygest, Horsey, Noki, Mina, Holatir, and Benj. In the background is Lena, Tirwen, Vinia, The Night Bird, and Chanla. I will do a proper Tirwen one when I get to drawing the character’s from Inna.

From Inna:


(This one bleached out quite a bit.) From right to left, Sir Tirmay, young Tirwen, Tebi (in the back), Inna, Marna, young Goedgerik (back), Little Doc LeMon, Ayan, and “Derry” Mayder.

This poem I thought of on a gloomy walk in fall through a swamp. At the time, we had just moved into a house where the previous owner died, so that what sort of on my mind.


Gentle rains drip
upon the black rippling way
fingers of vegetated decay hang
through the bleak watery-glade
rushes whip in the un-seen stream
and bog birches brood over sprinklings of green
Breaching sticks are imbibed by the deadly mosses
and thick barbs of blackberry wind over long-dead copses
Upon that black glides down
one duck of a gentle grey
feathers un-wet in the hour-less way
gently guiding, duck feet kicking
a black bird, red-hearted, calls—shrieking
calling me back to wakeful-day,
and along I go, mumbling, “There is peace in the glade,
there is peace in the glade,
an eye-closing sleep of the gentlest fare
how rare it is to find such an open cairn,
aim I, with time then, to find the king of all rests here
within the blackness of her nests.”

Hi folks!

There's a little article thing up on Dango Books about my book. You can see it here: https://dangobooks.com/a-peak-inside-...

I think the article thing will be a new feature of theirs. I'm not quite sure why I was chosen, but I'm grateful for the extra exposure.

So thank you to them! :)

Hi folks!
This is going to be a short one today. I've just got my Reader's Favorite reviews in, and of course I'd love to share them with folks. I recall the first time I used their service a number of years ago, I got quite a thorough criticism that helped with my writing a lot, and I was expecting a similar thing, so I paid for three in the hopes that one of them might be a four star and be post-able -- so with this attitude, I was quite surprised when I got a whopping five stars back every time! Of course I'm overjoyed, but I wonder if anyone else thinks in the back of their head that funny business is going on? (Or is that just my lack of confidence?) Anyhow, without further fretting, here it is:

So what has been your experience with them?

Hi folks!

Just thought I'd give a big thank you to all those who helped to get my book, The Moment of Leaflessness, to the top 29th place on the amazon free list for poetry!

:)

Sincerely,
