Hey folks, my silly heist novel is on general release today! If you fancy reading about an idiot robbing a corporation's fancy Christmas party, here are the places you can get it books2read.com/u/me1BoR or on my own site (digital only) kateashwin.com/shop/product... #booksky 📚

The cover for hit The Ground Running, an offbeat cyberpunk heist novel! Tall skyscrapers tower in the background as our protagonist, a young man in a red jacket, takes a flying leap out of a strange airship.

Advertising that the book is available digitally or as a paperback, and features things like high-action Leverage-style heists, enemies to reluctant besties, and being gay while doing crime. There's also a crocodile, though the text doesn't mention that, it's just a treat for you, the alt-text reader

Less than a day to go on this. We're already funded so this is basically a victory lap now, but here's your last chance to get a fun story for cheap:

CRINGE WIZARD: A TTRPG Isekai Light Novel

A light novel about a guy forced to live through the terrible TTRPG campaign he ran when he was a teenager.

it's actually easy to imagine someone only comprehending the jokes and not the Everything Else since it's how I read those books initially too, but in my defence i was a 12 year old at the time, not leader of the opposition

dreamt there was a BBC family sitcom that was played perfectly straight except that every plant in the background had teeth. not scary sharp ones, just a row of big peggy teeth
