Your reminder that libraries take requests. They want to stock the books their community loves

Mine just ordered The Art of Legend by Wesley Chu after I suggested it👏📚

Can't wait to start the final book of this incredible trilogy, and for other library readers to do so, too

✨ First Interstate Bookstore ✨

While I now live in Sydney, I grew up in Victoria.

Thus, I’m so excited to have signed copies of Perils of the Past on the shelves of Woodland Collection Bookstore. If you’re in or near Bendigo, VIC 🇦🇺, drop in

Oh, come off it... This is your 'expert marketing team' that you just can't stop emailing about? Well, I can't stop laughing.

Picked up a new book today 📚
Love internal art
Love the anticipation of a 5 star read

Such a great character origin short story, @tbcart.bsky.social
I was hooked from pg 1: “Did he want to be a healer? Well, he didn’t not want to be a healer.”

A Drop of Corruption deserves the highest praise. I adored The Tainted Cup, and, to my mind, this is even better! Oh how I’ve missed Din and Ana. The mystery is to die for. And the world building steps more into the limelight. I’m 80% through, and can’t wait to see how it ends!

First Saturday of the mth = a writing session with a friend at the library ✍️ 📖 . And what weather for the walk there and back.
Writers - what are you working on? 📚

3 quotes from indie fantasy authors I admire, 3 from incredible bookstagrammers/bloggers, + 1 awesome piece of internal art from Anderson Magalhães
= the first marketing images (A+ content) for the Amazon page of my novel, Perils of the Past.

So excited for this!

Epic dark fantasy with a harrowing journey of horrors and wonders - yes, please!

P.S., It looks even better in person and has a wonderful heft to it.

⚔️ RE-COVER REVEAL ⚔️

It's my pleasure to help spread the word about the new cover for A King's Radiance by L.R. Schulz (Bonds of Kin, #1).

This better matches the awesome cover for The Sun Prince (Bonds of Kin, #2).

Practicing making books float 🪶.
An indie stack featuring @brendannoble.bsky.social, @thomashowardriley.bsky.social & @jdlrosell.bsky.social!

What an honour - to have your book mistaken for one from @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social

Well, Perils of the Past does have:
- an illustrated wraparound cover;
- illustrated chapter headers & matching scene breaks;
- x3 internal illustrations (inc. a double pg spread);
- a 2nd cover -HC only

It has worked its magic and put forward the following:

Genuine question: Do you read the Editorial Reviews section on Amazon❓(& if so, does it influence you?)

Either way, I'm very excited to add first ones for Perils of the Past! Huge thanks to Josh of Already Overbooked and to @wsbookclub.bsky.social. More coming soon...

✨ Two months old today! ✨
Or perhaps more fittingly with the genre: Two moons have passed since this book took its true form, spread its wings and entered the mortal realm.

Thanks to everyone who has braved the perilous road within its pages or offered their support.

🔥My current reads🔥

The Crimson Court by @brendannoble.bsky.social has been staring at me from my TBR for ages. No longer! The world building is awesome. May need to dive straight into book 2

Been excited for this new release: P.A.R.A_LYZE by SK Putt. It starts with a bang
