The sale is live! $1.99 until Wednesday!

A thief discovers she can use newly-returned magic, but when she accidentally kills a man with it, she’s dragged into the service of the king and must train alongside other emerging mages - hard to do when she’s vowed to never care about anyone again.

The #ebook is on sale, from £2.99 to £0.99, until the end of November and in all countries.

I mean, what would you spend £0.99 on? You can't even buy a stamp for that.

But now, you can spend hours tagging along on a wild urban fantasy adventure.

Someone has bought an ebook of The Magic Circle (on sale until end of November!) and can I just say, to whichever lovely person that was:

May your Kindle never run out of charge;

May you never get interrupted whilst you read;

And may you always have time for one more chapter.

Bit random, but whilst modern tech advances appear to be making life worse than ever, there's a small one that's actually really good.

LED light bulbs.

Bright, very energy efficient, and last for years.

As artists and spies alike discover how to use this power, some will stop at nothing to have it for themselves.

Walked into a Waterstones the other day and loved the variety and range of boardgames they had there.

Immediately started fantasising about owning my own board game café, maybe called Dice and Doughnuts.

I love the brain's capacity to fool itself.

Made a cup of hot chocolate just now, and it looked a lot like instant coffee.

So much so that I could actually smell it.

The daft thing is: since covid, my sense of smell is shot. That cup smelled stronger of coffee than a real cup would have done.

You know it's going to be "one of those days" when you urgently need to print something, yet the printer (1) can't connect to WiFi; (2) has run out of ink; (3) the black ink isn't printing anything at all.

Just saw a new book from an indie author I like.

Paperback version is £18.99.

Now, am I just being tight, or does that seem really expensive for a paperback?

New pet peeve unlocked.

Watching a YouTube video of someone explaining the rules to a board game I'm interested in, only to find they keep getting it wrong.

Nuclear war devastated the world. Now, decades later, those countries that can have been rebuilding, keeping themselves isolated to prevent another war.

Not that it stops spies, though.

But what happens when one such spy falls in love with his mark?
