Here's some news from indie authors you might have missed! We've got new books, ARC applications, and a Kickstarter coming to an end... #BookSky REIGN by TL Routledge RETROGRADE by Amber Toro THE LAST BREATH OF PEACE by Lewis J Sutcliffe The Copper & Ash series by me!

ROGUE PROTOCOL is another fun entry in the Murderbot series! This feels a lot like more of the same, with a new cast of humans and bots to endearingly annoy Murderbot—with a surprisingly impactful ending. I'm excited to check out book 4. #BookSky

HE WHO ATE THE WILD by @gjterralwrites.bsky.social is an incredible story of loss, and of longing for a place to call home. Terral's prose is gorgeous, and the action continually impresses. Read my full review on FanFiAddict's blog! fanfiaddict.com/review-he-wh...

Taking a break from all the bookish talk that I normally do here to remind my 🇺🇸 US friends to get out and vote. Early voting is available in most states (maybe all, idk), but going in on Nov. 3rd is great too. Just get out there. 💙

Check out these amazing fantasy and sci-fi books, each a hidden gem available on Kobo Plus! Feat. books by Lucille J. Knight, @kaizeal.aquakatpublishing.com, @clh2oars.bsky.social, @authorkfeller.bsky.social, @aliciawarne.bsky.social, and myself! #Booksky #Kobo #KoboPlus

RUSTY THROAT, BURNING HEART takes the series in an unexpected direction but early readers have been extremely positive about book 2 so far! #BookSky Grab the full series; or, if you've already read book 1, you can just reserve your copy of RTBH. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ada...

Here's three recent announcements from women in the indie book space! We've got both debuts, and expanding series, as well as one new audiobook release this week #BookSky GHOST PROTOCOL by Ramona Santos THE SECRED ORDER OF BROTHA MONKS by @obeytheauthor.bsky.social ON IMPULSE by Heather Texle

Two weeks into the Kickstarter, and I can't be more thankful for everyone who has backed it. Book 1 is complete, and book 2 is currently with my copy editor, so we're on track to deliver everything in early 2027 (possibly even head of schedule...) 🤞 #BookSky www.kickstarter.com/projects/ada...

A minor refresh to my books' trope graphics. Which is your favorite?

4 days to go to the release of Suffer Their Going! I am excited about the launch, and I am also excited to be part of Booked's Selection Box on Friday October 30th, where I will be reading from Suffer Their Going. Mark your calendars, it is going to be a good night.

After I listened to the audiobook for SISTAH SAMURAI by @obeytheauthor I knew I needed to get a copy of it for my shelf... And also the sequel... And I will likely be getting book 3 as soon as I finish reading that. I cannot wait to dig in to RETURN OF THE SISTAH SAMURAI.

Latest review just dropped! Perfect short stories for Halloween. books2read.com/u/br8AgE

Yes, rivers usually empty into seas or oceans (or get there eventually) but not always! If it makes sense for your story and the geography of your setting, consider adding an endoheric water basin like this to your maps for your fantasy and sci-fi stories!

Here's five book recs that are flying under-the-radar, but shouldn't be. Pick one, and give it a try! Don't forget to leave a review when you're done—they're a tremendous help. 😉 #BookSky Feat. @foyle-writes.bsky.social, @paulgzareith.ink, and @afictionalescapist.bsky.social

Book 1 was ~53,000 words long. Book 2 is three times as long, ~155,000 words. To all those who enjoyed COPPER SKIN, OAKEN LUNGS but wanted more, I think you might like book 2. 📚️ 🪐 You can order both books in the Copper & Ash series on Kickstarter right now! 🔗 www.kickstarter.com/projects/ada...

There are no monsters to slay or villians to fight in REFLECTINGS OF LILJE DAMSELFLY by @nataliekelda.bsky.social. Instead, the story is focused on Lilje's attempts to manage her chronic pain and navigate society. #BookSky Full Review: fanfiaddict.com/review-the-r...

Some book mail came in this week! I'm excited to check out FORGED IN FIYAH, an anthology of black speculative fiction edited by @davaun.bsky.social. 📚️ The book released this year alongside the 10th anniversary of @fiyahlitmag.bsky.social, who you should also be checking out!

Reviewing the latest draft of AN AUTHOR'S GUIDE TO SETTING DESIGN. Interior looks ready to go, but the text on the spine is still misaligned... One last change and the hardcover will be ready. 💙

What if the reluctant hero tasked with saving the world was a criminal mastermind, the plucky sidekicks were a group of rogues with questionable morals, and the wise mentor was out for his own self-interest alone? Introducing Forest of Stone, a dark fantasy exclusive to Kickstarter this month!

No special edition! Unfortunately, that means no plans for any crazy add-ons. However, that also means the prices won't going to make you take out a loan. Get the post-apocalyptic romantic fantasy novel RUSTY THROAT, BURNING HEART on its own or with the book 1! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ada...

We have started Indiemission X!! We are covering The Thirteenth Hour by @trudieskies.readindiefantasy.com and are shocked that this ridiculously good book isn’t more popular. Be sure to read The Cruel Gods series, give Trudie a follow, and listen to our episode! #booksky #reading #writing #books 📚

I love sci-fi and fantasy, but I do need to mix things up a bit from time to time. Try other genres, other stories... These are five suspense & horror books that I absolutely enjoyed and recommend to everybody—even other people like myself who don't read much of the genre. (Maybe just check the TW)

Recently a few beta readers finished reading a work-in-progress draft of RUSTY THROAT, BURNING HEART! Here's some of what they had to say. If you'd like to check out my upcoming post-apocalyptic romantic fantasy novel, it is available for pre-order. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ada...
