I wouldn't be able to run it on my current machine. Will certainly keep it in mind for when I upgrade in the future.

Like coming home. Especially satisfying after a long, hard day at work.

I've only read 'Adam's Witness', but it was brilliant!

Yeah I understand that completely. Amazon is problematic in many ways.

I must admit I do get a steady stream of KENP reads on Kindle Unlimited. It's not a huge amount of money, but there always seems to be someone reading my books that way.

I'll have to look into Smashwords.

I've only used KDP, so I can't comment on other avenues. I'm sure it's possible, but I can imagine it will pose challenges.

Turmoil, destruction

Definitely worth a try at this point.

Although it may also make him think he's doing great, and encourage him to carry on...

On balance, I'd keep hold of it. You earned it.

I'm putting a team together!

Let me know if you'd like to be involved as I start research and get excited about taking the first steps towards opening my own book shop. This is something I'm taking deadly seriously so any support from my bookish community will be really helpful!

Have heard what Freya Allan (Ciri) and Anya Chalotra (Yennefer) have had to say about the season and Liam Hemsworth, and I'm definitely going to give it a go. Won't be the same without Henry Cavill, without question, but am willing to give it a go.

Happy #Caturday!

Check out my book, 'Apex'. It has a (big) cat in it. And on the cover (my own #artwork, I might add). ⬇️
Nikki is trying to get away from it all on a camping trip with her partner and his friends.

But they are not alone.

Events soon take an unexpected, and bloody, turn...

Will any of them survive what's out there?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐A great read!

Finished watching Season 3 of #TheWitcher. I don't know what to do... It was left in such an unsatisfying way, I feel I have to watch Season 4. But there's no #HenryCavill and he's my Geralt. I'm still invested in Yennefer and Ciri, though... Might just have to swallow it and watch at least ep 1.

Always brings a smile to my face to see an email from a book seller about an upcoming release from an author I know, by a small press I like.

"Never read any Age of Sigmar? This is a great place to start." A look at my recent Warhammer book, Starseer's Ruin.
It’s a Lore Friday Double Feature at @goonhammer.com today!

First up, @aptshadow.bsky.social and I chatted about the superb Starseer’s Ruin, and #AgeOfSigmar and #Warhammer a little more broadly

Jay sits down with Adrian Tchaikovsky to talk about his book Starseer's Ruin, writing Warhammer, and writing Age of Sigmar specifically.
