What else is there to do when your friend's novel comes out but to break out some scenery and the smoke machine? @mytholder.bsky.social's The Sword Triumphant is out today, and I didn't realise what a lucky boy I was to get one early! (We did the maps for this series, but hey. Who's counting?)

Yesssss This is one of those times when it's surreal to see others getting to read something I edited. I absolutely loved this book. (I'm reading Reacher book 8, liking it a good bit so far.)

A.S. Colworth's Empire's End (Dreams of the Fallen #0.5) might be one of the best fantasy novellas I've ever read - up there with the @ryancahill.bsky.social's of the world. A fast-paced, riveting read that exemplifies why a novella can be JUST AS impactful as an 800-page tome.

Demelza, a world-weary witch, and Uliana, an even more exhausted vampyre, work together to send wayward demons, ghosts and otherworldly creatures back to where they came from. But some jobs are more difficult than others. 🔖 story: mybook.to/RXIIkD 💌 itch.io: rebecca-crunden.itch.io/on-demon-wra...

Well. It’s gone wide. Just Press Play is the scifi book I wrote from the heart and mind. It’s dark, humorous, painful and filled with joy. Scifi with a clifi twist, action-orientated but cerebral. Take a risk. Also 1/2 price (or 2 for 1) on itch nicksnape.itch.io/just-press-p... #scifi #books 💙🪐📚
