Cover Reveal! 🗡️📖 Just check out the cover of this new book coming from K.E. Andrews. Book 2 in her Grinning Assassin series, it's just as striking as Book 1.

She has ARCs available for those interested - check out @keandrewsauthor.bsky.social for where to get them!

I invite you to explore what I’ve created. Here is the suggested reading order. You don’t have to follow it.

10 months with three releases.
How? If you check the copyright pages you’ll see they were written a while ago. It’s going to likely be another year before the next book, but at least readers have a decent chunk of material before then.

I'll be at Butser Bookfest on Sunday 19th October. Butser Ancient Farm is an experimental archaeology site in Hampshire with recreated buildings from the Neolithic to the early Middle Ages. The event looks amazing: authors, folk music, story telling, crafts and workshops. Link in the comments below.

Free download for ‘A Winnowed Truth’ It starts tomorrow May 12th and runs until Tuesday May 13th. I plan on entering the lottery for SPFBO11, so now’s a great time to check it out. You won’t be disappointed.

My two published manuscripts. I’m humble enough to know that they’re probably not 5 stars, but I’ll take 3 star reviews all day long.

The novelette ‘Whispers’ can be read be as a standalone, before, or after ‘A Winnowed Truth’
They take place in the same setting.

What a review to wake up to 😱😱😱

“…establishing himself as the poet laureate of the grimdark community. Rarely has an author achieved this level of literary prowess in the fantasy community. Patrick Rothfuss, Mark Lawrence, and Anna Smith Spark all come to mind…”

I am absolutely humbled. 😭🙏
REVIEW: House of Muir by @luketarzian.bsky.social
www.grimdarkmagazine.com/review-house...
"...the doom metal of grimdark fantasy, a symphony of sludgy down-tuned prose that plumbs the greatest depths of human grief and suffering while somehow finding hope within a universe of chaos and decay."
REVIEW: House of Muir by Luke Tarzian
Luke Tarzian has crafted a cacophonous nightmare with House of Muir, establishing himself as the poet laureate of the grimdark community.
