Thank you!!! Despite the hassle of learning the (pretty simple technique) it was a bunch of fun making it too

I spent too long making this teaser video for my upcoming novel, but the good news is, ARC team wanted for a Princess Mononoke x Demon Slayer passion project.

I had the distinct pleasure of collaborating with not just peers, but authors I consider friends to come together and make this fantasy anthology possible. Pre-orders are open— 10 distinct short stories!

~Coming at you with another review~
The Not So Mundane Mysteries of Norman Melamourne. A fantasy murder mystery is the perfect thing to read right now. @gjterralwrites.bsky.social does a great job at atmosphere as we investigate the impossible.

This is me putting out into the void that I’ll use this platform more. So let me re-introduce myself

I write books, all with various fantasy slants.

I watch anime, all sorts.

I play tons of video games and table top games.

I had the privilege to read GJ Terral’s The Not So Mundane Mysteries of Norman Melamourne on #netgalley!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Man, I felt this sentence so hard: “If there were a thousand ways to sigh, Norman had only ever found one, and it always came from the same dark, empty place within him.”

Yesterday's numbers:

Not Your Bargain!? Nice.

Not Your Mountain is once again in the lead.

If you're not familiar, I am pitting my two derby books against one another for their September birthday.
I want to see whether Ambitious (2024) can beat Not Your Mountain (2023)

So what did my beta reader have to say? A lot— but these are some of the fun snippets.

A down-on-his-luck ex-detective, a friendless professor suspected of murder, and a mystery they can’t solve without each other.

Pre-orders available now!!!

I took Indie August pretty dang seriously.

Bloodwoven will be free from the 23rd-25th, and the other novels in the series will be reduced.

The Not So Mundane Mysteries of Norman Melamourne will be out August 29th, and I'm trying to break my pre-order record. (The bar is lowwww)

Do you like Novellas?
What about "Secret Projects"?
Advanced release copies?

Suspected of murder, Lance must clear his name, and P.I. Norman would like nothing more for him to be guilty, but his gut says otherwise. A dual POV modern fantasy.
