The Treachery of Beautiful Things|| Ruth Frances Long 

“They’re only trees. Only trees. Whose afraid of lonely trees?”

Hey guys, this is my first edit/aesthetic ever!!! Had a lot of fun putting it together.The Treachery of Beautiful Things is one of my favorite books and every time I read I love it more. If you like beautiful writing, traditional faerie folklore, A Midsummer Nights Dream, or really good stand-alone novels I would definitely recommend this book.

I'm thrilled to share the news that the book of my heart has found its home with Hodderscape. The Book of Gold will be out later this year and I can't wait for people to meet Lyta, Sylvian, Kit and the gang, to explore Amberes and find out all about their slightly feral gods. (Article transcribed on my website - excellent people say very nice things - . http://www.rflong.com/blog/) So looking forward to sharing more news. Many many thanks to Sallyanne Sweeney

Writing Update

I can tell I should be writing. My brain keeps coming up with projects like book edge painting and alternative research ideas and elaborate medieval recipes to try.

[ruthfranceslong]

I hate that SEPTember OCTOber NOVember and DECember aren’t the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th months.

Writing update

Just wrote this line. 'No, I am not here to kill you. I'm here with a message.’

I have NO IDEA what this message is.

First I've heard of it!

[ruthfranceslong]

Line edits on project 1 finished, just in time to start proofs on project 2. I'm trying not think about what has to be done on project 3 yet, nor indeed on project 4. **weeps**

Oh wait, but first I have to go and get ready for an evening out. A social life. What is this?

[ruthfranceslong]

I'm writing an author's note which is basically me gushing about 16th century printing for several pages. #sorrynotsorry

[ruthfranceslong]

Story of the century. I am so invested in Pinot and Cheese Guy!

At the gate for my flight home from visiting friends and there's a woman here with a service Shiba Inu. No pics because he has a Do Not Disturb vest and taking pics of strangers is illegal but I need to stress how ON DUTY this animal is. Ears up. Eyes doing Lazer scans of everything. Examining everyone who passes within 10ft like a security guard. Ass planted on her feet. I have never seen a dog with such intense chivalric guardian energy before. He has tiny eyebrows and they are FURROWED with concentration.

My Questionable Attitude Towards Romance…

A villaintine for you today! So the thing is, heroes start love triangles. Villains finish them… If you’d like to see how my vipers do it, pray preorder for extra evil treats at this fine indie bookstore…

Villaintine #2

My last villaintine was cheating, but hey… what else did you expect? This I wrote myself, with evil love, delivered to you in official valentine format! And if you’d like some wicked in your life come July, and pre-order treats, the link is below…
