Hunter's Apprentice by Simon Shugar #booksky

Just wanted to share my books with you all. One day a post will go viral, this won't be that post, yet here I am still playing the lotto on this. If you like low fantasy and real characters please check them out! www.amazon.com/stores/Simon... #booksky #books #fantasybooks #fyp

Excited to share this commission from Justice Art & Design! The painting is of Karn & Serah on their way to Blackrock to pay a visit to Lord Caine. Ashley did a grand job and I am just in awe of seeing the scene brought to life. Please check out her work at www.instagram.com/justiceartan...

Am I allowed to be this excited!? My book, Rageborn, is being sandwiched by Brandon Sanderson and R.F.Kuang! #booksky #fantasybooks

As it’s Men’s Mental Health Month, here’s a reminder that survival is strength. Your One Job Is To SURVIVE is free for the next few days. The story follows one man’s fight through despair, the wilderness, and the hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel. And yes, there’s a dog too. #booksky

If you enjoyed my books... The kindest way to support my work is by sharing it with other fantasy readers. Word of mouth helps me far more than paid ads, and I’m truly grateful for every share. Thank you for supporting an indie fantasy author. — Simon Shugar #booksky #fantasy #books #fyp

Quick continuity note for Lord of the Hunt While working on Book 8, I discovered that King Klaus was mistakenly called King Kurt three times in Book 7. King Kurt was actually the character's original name in Book 6 before I changed it during edits. The error has been corrected. #booksky

Every time I release a book into the wild, I do it without ARCs or preorders, which means the waiting game afterward is always nerve-racking. Sitting there refreshing pages and hoping those first reviews and ratings start to come in never gets easier. So thank you, truly. #booksky

Tomi fought to survive. Now he must learn to lead. Granted power, land, and a title he never wanted, Tomi arrives in Blackwater with more than responsibility on his shoulders. At his side are his wife and twin daughters, Neve and Ivy, the family he refuses to fail. #booksky #fantasybook #fyp

This book is not about yesterday nor is it about tomorrow. It's about today, being present. Your One Job Is To SURVIVE by Simon Shugar #menshealth #booksky #survival www.amazon.com/Your-One-Job...

My father’s departure is etched in my mind, a cold dawn and a heavy promise... He knelt, looked me in the eye, "Tomi, you are the man of the house now. Take care of your mother." Just like that, he was gone. Leaving me, a boy, burdened by a man's duty Hunters Apprentice by Simon Shugar #booksky
