Author of the Luna Ruinam series. Limited Edition Hardbacks at The Broken Binding. Luna Ruinam Vol 2 is in editing.
Always great to see Renia out in the wild.
Today's tea is Potion or Poison by Cliche teas. I picked up the fantasy pack at All The Tropes bookstore store in downtown Atl. It's a decent lemony green tea blend. I'm listening to Renia by @karlforshaw.bsky.social. Great world building, grimdark fantasy, excellent narration. #booksky ☕️🍵🫖 🩵📚

PLEASE check out Dreams of the Sky on @liviajelliot.bsky.social 's Unearthed Stories app. @karlforshaw.bsky.social absolutely nailed this short story🤍
"This story is dark, twisted, disorienting and unapologetically gut-wrenching, and ultimately it left me hungry for more in the best way possible."

I love this book. It has so many layers.
Reading this by @aptshadow.bsky.social and it's wonderful. Always a reminder of how much life has changed over the last seven or so years since my first book came out that one of the world's premier SFF writers is my pal.

Review-dread is here. I've just finished reading my second @aptshadow.bsky.social novel of the year: Service Model. It defied my already high expectations and also the promises it made in its opening act. It's prophetic, poetic, and poignant. Fine art. Showcase of a brilliant mind. #scifi

Okay, y'all, I need your help.
As you probably know, last month I lost my job. I was hopeful of finding something quickly but that hasn't happened. My books are all I have right now.
If you can take a moment and share my post, it might just help me bridge this gap.
Thank you 🙏

First big laugh of the day. Thank you. 🤣
Just used a semicolon inside a nested phrase bracketed by em-dashes. Vaguely surprised that an editor didn’t just spontaneously turn up and slap me.

I've temporarily lowered the price of my chonky dark fantasy novel (600+ pages) to 99c!
It's got lots of magic, flying cars and sarcasm. There's two POVs (it's told in volumes). And the main couples are m/f and m/m.
Oh, and it was a BBNYA finalist! :D
