M.E. Moirin offers up something unique and different with a Slavic and Ottoman-inspired folktale in THREADBOUND. My review of the book for #SPFBO XI --

Sentient by Michael Nayak is an intense tale of survival against not just Antarctica's brutal elements, but a sentient microbe's attack too. Add to it some terrifyingly plausible real-world politics, and you have one hell of a story.

BOY, WITH ACCIDENTAL DINOSAUR has some interesting themes and ideas that seem to float through its pages, but ultimately I struggled to connect with it. Check out my review for the novella, which releases next month:

This is a goddamned outrage. ICE is boasting about blatantly defying the Fourth Amendment rights of thousands of people. ICE is not a law-enforcement entity — it's a criminal terror organization and a federal ethnic-cleansing murder squad. ABOLISH ICE.

AFTER THE FALL by @edashtonwriting.bsky.social is a delightfully humorous post-apocalyptic alien story that made me say, "I, for one, welcome our new Gray overlords."
I enjoyed the latest from the MICKEY 7 author. Here's my review:

Throughout THE CYPRIAN, Mercedes Lackey paints a picture of a fairy tale throwback combined with the stylings of a modern-day cozy fantasy.

I, MEDUSA by @ayanagray.bsky.social is a compelling, tragic take on the ancient Greek myth. Gray's re-imagining paints Medusa as a "victim of power, abuse, and those that enable that abuse." My review: fanfiaddict.com/review-i-med...

The concept behind Crystal King’s The Happiness Collector is intriguing and kept me reading this Greek God-inspired modern fantasy. There's a lot to like, even though I had some nit-picks. My review: fanfiaddict.com/review-the-h...
