@obeytheauthor.bsky.social "FUCK THEM KIDS" was so much more tender and heart-warming and RELATABLE than I expected it to be. As the childless uncle, there were so many parts where I just had to nod my head in agreement. Such a cute story!

When you've found the perfect sticker. 😄

@obeytheauthor.bsky.social I met you at GenCon and forgot to ask if there are audiobooks or plans for them! Also thank you for this sticker because it fits here perfectly. Clearly, it was meant to be.

I have plans to drop an audiobook at the end of the year. It was so nice to meet you at GenCon!!! That sticker was definitely meant to be. 😉

Loved this review of Return of the Sistah Samurai. 🌻

Sometimes, we review books.
Here's Nils' review of Return of the Sistah Samurai, by Tatiana Obey @obeytheauthor.bsky.social

Nils also take the opportunity to rant about people who question why some readers ask for books by certain types of authors.

www.readindiefantasy.com/book-review-...

Banner image for the review of Revenge of the Sistah Samuari. It includes a picture of the book's cover and a quote from the beginning of the book. The quote reads:
"This book is not appropriate for men that are too insecure, too easily triggered or possess egos that are too fragile. Rated M for mature men."

I write badass characters slaying dragons. I enjoy combining action with character-driven stories that feature diverse heroes and heroines. Want a badass samurai or a badass monster hunter? I got you. ⚔️
