Comedy in Palladia: Funny Snippets
This week's wallpapers are for Set 11, for The Palladia Trilogy. To download them, visit this page. Get a desktop wallpaper download while you're there. I spent much of the last 3 days touching up my website (which is a different site from my blog) and improving areas of this blog. The website changes include removing an archaic old blog of book reviews I did 5-10 years ago and adding a gallery of new author photos. In fact, I now simply call the About Me page Author Photos, although there […]https://sarahscheeleblog.wordpress.com/2026/08/26/comedy-in-palladia-funny-snippets/

Apocryphal Stories 4: The On A Tangent, Just For You Tendrils
This week's wallpapers wrap up Set 10 and are for the Prince's Invitation Duology. Click here to download them. And check out the desktop wallpapers/banners below if you want a quick image to pin to a sidebar or fill space on your homescreen. For Prince's Invitation, there is no "middle book." No sore thumb. So these wallpapers simply continue the series I started before. Birthday turns the viney tendrils a cold, curiously distant shade of iced coffee. At least, this is roughly what my […] -
Apocryphal Stories 3: Stickers, Frosted Glass, and The Tendrils Reappear
This week's wallpapers are from Set 10, for The Americana Trilogy. To download them while they are briefly available for free, visit this page. In this post, we return to the tendrils. Unlike now, when I put Palladia first while blogging, during the design phase I always started with Americana. So Devotion's wallpaper was made first in the viney tendrils series. After seeing it, I thought I think I'll expand this design into a set. These decisions aren't premeditated. I have never planned […] -
Apocryphal Stories 2: The Growing Tendrils Strike Back
This week's wallpapers are from Set 10, for The Worlds Across Time Trilogy. To download them before they disappear, go to this page. And while you're there, download another couple of banners to stick anywhere you generally look at images. These book banners make good laptop backgrounds, btw. I am using one on my computer right now while typing this post. In this set, Ryan and Essie took the lead and popped out on its own. I made its wallpaper before I decided to divide the others into sets […] -
Apocryphal Stories 1: And The Weird Viney Tendril Series Begins
This week's wallpapers are from Set 10, for The Palladia Trilogy. To download them, visit this page. While you're there, take a look at the banner images available for each book and download one for your favorite book to display on your blog sidebar or website. If you don't have a website, you can stick the banner in a hard-to-find folder in your Google Photos gallery. That's what I do with many cute-random images. I keep meaning to get back to Pinterest, but I don't use the app for months at […] -

Peace and Harmony: Over a Decade of American Family Fiction
This week's wallpapers are from Set 8, for The Americana Trilogy. To download them, click on this link and scroll down to Book Themed Wallpapers-Sarah Scheele-Set 8. I sometimes wonder why I keep reminding everyone, as if I assume you are not listening to me. But I think I'm in the habit and can't stop. I know you are all riveted by these wallpapers! The first draft of A Year with the Harrisons, which barely counts as the same book when compared to the finished product, debuted in the […] -
Sheer Beauty: Unveiling the Inner Magic in Worlds Across Time’s Low Fantasy
This week's wallpapers are from Set 8, for The Worlds Across Time Trilogy. To download them, visit this link and scroll down to the last Book-Themed-Wallpaper link on that page. Generally, I haven't written epic fantasy. Or even high fantasy. My fantasy has always been a type of low fantasy, using mildly unrealistic elements to explain typical things more creatively, and blending a lot of science fiction into it. In early years, I heard many people whine online about their dislike of […] -
This is Where the Fun Begins: How I Turned Bad Things Into Good Ones in Palladia
This week's wallpapers are from Set 8 (WE HAVE GOTTEN TO SET EIGHT!!) for The Palladia Trilogy. To download these or any others currently available, visit this page and click on a Book-Themed Wallpapers link. I've always been mad that nobody read the final Palladia book at all for a couple of years after it was published. But I learned why this was-- at the time I did not have an audience! My newsletter was full of little cowbird eggs that took up space and pushed real subscribers out of […] -
18 Years Ago: Reflections on Characters Who Are Younger Or Older Than Is Literally Possible
This week's wallpapers are for The Prince's Invitation Duology, Set 5. If you've been following up to this point, you know how to get to this page and download any wallpapers from the first 5 sets to use on your phone. It's amusing to me to realize that the characters in Prince's Invitation are sometimes literally the exact age they supposedly are in the books--or in some cases are actually years older than their supposed age. Disgusing it very well, I'm glad to say! You see, The Birthday […] -
You’ve Got It Backwards: How Harrisons Made Me Realize What’s Important to Me
This week's wallpapers are from Set 5, for The Americana Trilogy. To Download These To Stare At On Your Phone, visit the wallpapers page and scroll down to Set 5. On a somewhat unimportant note, 90% of the time I put the little label advertising my creative ownership on the lower right corner. But for a few designs this was difficult because the watermark did not show up. In these cases I either tweaked the design, like moving an element up or down--or I gave up and actually moved the […]
