World Octopus Day, so how better to celebrate than with a #scifi buddy cop partnership between a human and octopus? Just Press Play is a book that pushes the boundaries between darkness and dark humour, while asking what responsbilities humanity really has. #scifibook books2read.com/thescorching...

They go up from 350 to 527 pages. The pricing is based on print costs re Ingram for wide distribution. I can bring them down by removing Ingram’s 50% wholesale discount (and never be in a shop) but wondered what others sell their paperbacks at? Or #fantasyreaders -are they too expensive? 💙🐉⚔️📚

The kindle sales for my #darkfantasy Warriors of Spirit and Bone have been uplifting. But not for the #fantasy paperbacks. I was wondering if I’d overpriced? A Dragon of the Veil is $12.99 ($7.77 old cover as Zon), A City of Ashes $16.99 and A Queen in Blood £18.99 as … 1/2

Love this #fantasybook #review for A Dragon of the Veil…

It’s #fantasy #bookreviews like this that keep me returning to the laptop to write the next book. Thank you so much, and apologies for the trauma at the end, but there’s always hope-a light (or spirit) in the dark. A City of Ashes and A Queen In Blood will show the way! #booksky #fantasybooksky 💙🐉📚⚔️

Should have brought an iron for that cover! Hope to see you at Sheffield Comic-con for a chat and hopefully sell #scifi and #fantasy #books! How many today? Hoping for enough to cover the table cost. That’d be a win! #sheffield #indieauthors
