Next fantasy book is likely Moonbound. #booksky #readsky [contains quote post or other embedded content]24 Sep 2026 20:48 +0000at://did:plc:ab4vbrunu6ramfeiwc2xblgd/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwc4wquuqk23https://bsky.app/profile/jeremyiswriting.bsky.social/post/3mw7z65z3222bBeen a joy working with you too, @vampireantihero.com, along with everyone else mentioned.
