😂😂😂 It's so bizarre that they left the gun in the logo. I have no idea who they are doing this for.

Okay, I knew Amazon having the rights to Bond would be bad, but seriously, editing all the guns out of Bond posters. This is a joke, right?! #007

Here's a sneak peek of the cover for the sequel to my fantasy heist novel, The Order of Grimm. My crew do not look happy in this. 😂 The cover itself, by Christine de Vielmond, is stunning. So many little easter eggs.

I've not read any of his other work, but this book is definitely a classic.

Ah, thank you. I should say that the main character is a retired assassin, but she comes from a house full of female assassins who are no end of trouble for her. 😁

I'm so proud of the stunning cover my artist, Christine de Vielmond created and can't wait to see what kind of creatives people come up with.

Oh, for sure. I agree with you there. There are a depressing number of writers in author groups that happily use AI for almost the entire process and think nothing of it. It's disturbing.

lol, fair. I posted on threads about how there are so many crappy covers. I mean, I get that when you're giving away a book for free you don't have a lot of money to put into covers, but it's shocking how many people don't seem to care about their covers. Don't get me started on the AI.

Was this an audiobook? Would you mind including the narrator's name? Speaking as a narrator, we really appreciate it.

Soldier's log: last known log from the Nemesis: I've done all I can. The engines all work and the ship is heading to Earth. I've been infected. Hopefully, the scientists back home can cure me. I am the last survivor of the Nemesis, logging off...

The sequel to my debut novel, The Order of Grimm is out in November. If Grimm was Snow White meets Ocean's Eleven, then Glass Coffin is Crooked Kingdom meets Anastasia

Oh, Occam, why do I always forget about your razor? My Velvetiser suddenly stopped frothing my milk. Even had @hotelchocolat.bsky.social replace the whisk. Was it the whisk? Nope. It was the replacement soy milk, because the Kirkland brand was out of stock. Oops!!

Shiromi Arserio @shiromispeaks.com · Sep 8

🤣🤣🤣 Same. Of course, I never thought, as a VOICE actor, I would be forced to show my face on camera so much!!
