I'm James and I fucking love writing. I'm very proud of my completed Sisters of Jade Trilogy, but my short story collection Salt & Cinder has some really fantastic stories.

Recovery read-a-thon book 6: The Mighty Nein: The Nine Eyes of Lucien by Madeline Roux
Definitely needed to know the main story before reading this. I feel like there's so much I've missed. On the bright side, I'm psyched for the series premiere later this month!

Book 5 in my recovery read-a-thon just destroyed me. Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune. I'm just sitting here with, yes, a cup of tea and no idea what to do with myself.
After three wonderful reads Klune officially joins my will-read-anything list.

I appreciate the extra reading time while my body heals up, but I am going out of my mind with the need to WRITE. Got feedback begging to be incorporated, a rough draft desperate to be finished and an old story pleading for a rewrite. I just want to sit in a chair 😭

We'll be closed all day Sunday November 2nd for our semi-annual inventory count. We'll be back open for our regular hours on the 3rd.
On a totally unrelated note, on Saturday November 1st, all books will be 10% off!
(Please buy everything in the store, that way we don't have to do inventory.)

Finished this one by @decastell.bsky.social a few weeks ago. Second in the series. A hilariously inappropriate mfing good time. A disillusioned paladin turned warlock tries to lead a bunch of crude, bottom-of-the-barrel, assholes in a mostly doomed effort to save the world.

Hey US and Canada folks! My Nebula, World Fantasy & Locus award nominated novel SHIGIDI will (finally!) be out in paperback on Nov 4. If you couldn't get the hardcover when it came out (understandably so!) here's your chance.
Its got African gods + a succubus + a heist at the British museum!

First up in the recovery read-a-thon, Cinderhouse by the amazing @freyamarske.bsky.social
A delightful novella with a fantastic twist on a classic story. I'd say I wish it was longer, but it's perfect just the way it is.
