Thank you 😇
I highly recommend both the Darkblade book (review to come in a few days) and the Read Indie Fantasy community.
Excited to try out Trudie's The Cruel Gods series (that I won as a prize). This was a fun weekend!

New ARC review: Copper Skin, Oaken Lungs by Adam Bassett.
A small town surrounded by malignant mist. A community at the brink of ruin. Intriguing blend of magic and tech. Dystopic steampunk vibes.

Should I build an app that allows devotees to chat with the Flying Spaghetti Monster? Should be easy enough... no AI needed either.

Having fun with the Concepts app on android over the weekend. Love the interface so far, a lot more intuitive than anything else I have tried yet.
