The Smashwords End of Year Sale is on, and the dauntingly long list can be hard to wade through (especially with all the gen AI these days). I’ve curated a list of books I recommend or am interested in, all AI free to the best of my ability, and all under $3! 🌈📚

kilagreene.dreamwidth.org/7990.html
Cover of Marie Cardno’s book HOW TO GET A GIRLFRIEND (When You’re a Terrifying Monster), featuring art of an eldritch being holding a bouquet of flowers in one of her tentacles. Cover of Halli Starling’s book COUP DE COEUR, which features a sort of still-life scene of a table covered in things such as flowers, a spool of thread, oyster shells, a pearl necklace, scissors stabbed into a pomegranate, and a still-smoking candle. Cover of Tamara Jeree’s book A WOLF STEPS IN BLOOD, featuring art of a young Black woman with red eyes and short white hair, gently touching the muzzle of a wolf that’s looking at her affectionately. The woman is wearing a leather jacket and a choker necklace, and her earlobes are gauged. Cover of the book SEA SWALLOW ME by Craig Laurance Gidney, which features slightly abstract art of a Black man’s face pointed upward with a planet behind him and waves below him.

So, spot the guy who totally forgot about the whole #EOYSale25 on Smashwords, or that he signed up for it.

Thank you for the super-kind words @kilagreene.bsky.social!

The gods left unfinished business after their ancient war among themselves. They banished, but didn't kill their foe, who now seeks his vengeance by laying waste to the gods' beloved creations: the land and peoples of Shande. The gods empower unlikely heroes Khoti, Arshal, Nali, and Resala – altering their fates with abilities that could destroy them – to unite Shande to somehow save the world. The Enchanter's Web, a nobledark epic fantasy trilogy of intrigue and sorcery, finds our heroes trying to manage powers beyond their control in a desperate war against stronger forces that have a mission to destroy the world. They count on many pieces falling into place. They didn’t count on the Enchanter’s web.

I have a lot of books in the Smashwords End of Year Sale! It's likely this is one of the rare last time I drop books below $2.99 there (they will be lowering royalties next year) so if it's your store of choice, now's the time!

Has your writer friend ever said "ugh, I wish someone would just force me to write my book!"

Would you like to send them a thinly-veiled threat and call it a Christmas gift? books2read.com/u/bwJrGZ
