Yesterday marked 2 months since Magster's second outing - Magster and the Auriaku Koi - was published.
Therefore, I thought I would drop some little snippets about it, for those who have not read it yet; new characters, locations, and some facts.

It seems that I am now falling foul of the AI emails, that are targeted towards authors. Shame...

But I like the nice things they say about me and Magster. 😜

Alas, I am unable to spend #nationalbookshopday cruising my favourite bookshops for bounty.
So, my friends, I hope you will join me in celebrating National Austrian Bronze, Netsuke and Victorian Silver Day, of which I am up to my neck in.

Kit Butler (Author) @kitbutlermagster.bsky.social · 3d

Wishing a very happy #nationalbookshopday to all who celebrate.
Especially, to all the terrific booksellers out there!! 🤗

Must give a special shout out to my "neighbourhood"...

So, another birthday is upon me tomorrow. Tempus fugit and all that...
I couldn't find any of my old card photos from previous birthdays, so I'll just have to use this one from Valentine's Day. 👉

There are also now signed copies of both "Magsters" in stock, at @kibworthbooks.bsky.social
I had a great time there, on Saturday. Met smashing folks and Magster has more new readers, so thank you to all who made it a lovely morning.

Kit Butler (Author) @kitbutlermagster.bsky.social · 16d

Enjoy! 👌

I set myself just one job at my signing, yesterday. Just one...
"Don't buy books, you don't need any".
I would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for that meddling #lucystrange and @mglnrd.bsky.social
