Today is the 4th anniversary of The Thirteenth Hour, the first book in my Cruel Gods series. This book went on to become a SPFBO & BBNYA finalist AND Indie Ink award winner for best setting/wittiest character!

To celebrate, I've put the ebook up for FREE for today only! 🥳

A promo image for the Thirteenth Hour's 4th anniversary featuring the book cover with funky glasses over the characters, and the text: Fantasy of bad manners, tea, and naughty words - four years! Cruel gods demand worship from their mortal subjects in this gaslamp fantasy featuring magical portals, gothic cosmic deities, quaint Britishisms, and steampunk vibes.

If possible, listening to those willing to share their experiences who have had been through something i haven't-that is always invaluable, and even better is if they are willing to read/critique your writing of that experience w/feedback. After that research - primary sources, historical info, etc.

I finished Stellar Instinct by @jnevair.bsky.social last night. If you're looking for a popcorn flick of a space romp, Stellar Instinct has you covered! Very light, very action-focused--bathos cancels out the tension. Strong family feel to it. 💙📚 #sciencefiction #scifi
