Hi!

As the one thing that can make the summer heat a little more bearable is, of course, a book, I have good news: the 2025 Summer Sale at Smashwords has begun! My publisher Atthis Arts is participating, which means that the ebook for The Dragon of Ynys is currently at 50% off, as well as all other Atthis Arts ebooks, including some of my favourites Alia Terra, Be the Sea, Pluralities, One Arm Shorter Than The Other, duology Just Bart & Just Chad, short story collection Awkward Tomatoes, and anthologies Five Minutes at Hotel Stormcove and Community of Magic Pens. Enjoy!

Atthis Arts will also be present at Seattle WorldCon 2025, August 13-17. If you’re going, they’d love for you to pay them a visit and say hi. And of course there will be books to buy at their table!

Finally, it’s the first of July, so here’s the 405th edition of Paranatellonta. Thank you for reading!

Stay hydrated!

Today I would like to talk about the newest book release by my friend and editor of The Dragon of Ynys, E.D.E. Bell. It is titled Just Chad and collects 25 adventures of a robot named Chad, whom we got to know in the first part of the Just Duology: Just Bart.

Chad is just a robot from Future Town. With xyr family network of Angel, a cocktail glass, a flirty phone, and a partying unicorn, xe explores the streets of the city in search of hard-core adventures, and maybe a bit of the realness.

Twenty five episodes of whimsey, humor, friendship, spirit – and resilience.

While this is the sequel to Just Bart, I think you can read it on its own and be only very mildly confused. I do, of course, encourage you to grab both books in a discounted bundle on the Atthis Arts website: click here! If you like absurd, funny, but often also very touching stories, these books are perfect for you.

And if you open Just Chad, the first page will say: “This book is dedicated to Minerva Cerridwen, my favourite robot.”

I’m so, so honoured that E.D.E. Bell dedicated a book to me, and not just a book, but this one. Everyone, grab your copy!

Love, beeps, and boops,

Minerva

Pride Month Instagram Interview

26 June 20226 December 2022 Minerva Cerridwen

Hello everyone, and happy Pride Month!

It’s been a while since you heard from me on this blog, and a lot has changed: I moved house and stopped working as a pharmacist. It’s time to properly dive into writing and creating again!

And although, if you’re watching the news, the world isn’t making it easy to feel celebratory this month, we all do our best to find safety and joy.

Natasha aka @bibliophile.nat was so kind as to publish an interview about The Dragon of Ynys, being an author, and being queer: you can read it here! (Note that it continues in the comments below the post, due to Instagram’s character limit.) Thank you so much for having me, Natasha.

And while we’re celebrating, I’d also like to do a shout-out to my good friend and editor E.D.E. Bell: eir book Just Bart (which I recommend wholeheartedly to everyone looking for a kind, funny read) just won a Midwest Book Award!!! Congratulations, Emily!

One more thing while I’m here: everyone interested in a gritty fantasy trilogy and/or a TTRPG in the same universe should go have a look at the Grayshade Kickstarter. This is a collaboration between Alligator Alley Entertainment and Atthis Arts – so you know it’ll be good.

Talk to you soon!

Love,

Minerva
