J. Brandon Lowry

Sophie Farrier has a secret and doesn't know it. Her brother Damon will do anything to keep it that way. When his betrayal is revealed, Sophie embarks on a journey to learn the truth about the death of their parents. But she soon discovers that some secrets should stay buried... "Lowry’s novel is nothing short of a towering masterwork of imagination—sure to satisfy even the most discerning reader, from middle grade to adult. It offers gloriously deep character development; forceful themes [...]; nonstop action and adventure, and rich world-building." -BlueInk Review (starred) "The author’s debut novel is charming and whimsical, featuring a delectable writing style with plenty of subtle humor[...]. The narrative, which resembles a fairy tale both in structure and tone, is full of unexpected depth and follows a surprisingly interwoven, complex arc as it explores topics of change, agency, and growth as both Damon and Sophie struggle to fit into a world they feel uncomfortable in." -Kirkus Reviews #TheGlassFrog is available NOW in paperback and Kindle/ebook formats! #books #fantasyfiction #YAfantasy #BookTwitter #BookReview jbrandonlowry.wordpress.com/links/

@generatemagic @KT_Carlisle Why thank you! I know it's a bit out of style, but I love alliterative, lyrical prose. Why play with words if you're not gonna have a little fun?

@jbrandonlowry @KT_Carlisle Love the cover! And I've always been a fan of alliteration :)

I’m in excruciating pain and I need a distraction. Quick! Show me your book covers and one-sentence pitches 👇🏻

@lhallwriter The Glass Frog is a fairy tale for grown ups, full of wit, whimsy, wonder, and a more than a hint of wickedness... a.co/d/00RnWM3Y

Authors, feel free to share your book covers below and I will happily repost some! Be sure to include links also 👇

@playbymail @KWBussard_ Thanks, I'm pretty fond of it myself!

@jbrandonlowry @KWBussard_ I like this cover.

Convince me to read your book with a cover

@stevesgirl56 @KenPalmer_ Well, you gotta hand it to ol' Stubbers. What he lost in digits he made up for in personality

@jbrandonlowry @KenPalmer_ Except for Stubby…

Who here is old enough to recall being in a classroom with an unsupervised guillotine?

Convince me to read your book in one gif

@BellaHagleyWood @timmckay52 @TAR_Kirk How many 1-letter replies am I allowed?

Convince me to read your book in one letter (am I doing this right?) @timmckay52 @TAR_Kirk

@timmckay52 Whimsy

Convince me to read your book in one word.

Be honest, #writingcommunity How many of you actually use the right-side shift key? I stupidly picked two characters with Zs in their name. So every time Zora comes up here I am putting my left pinky on shift trying to reach Z with my left ring finger. The mental gymnastics...

@jessesingal It took an extra moment for the screenshot to load, and in that time I realized your comment was applicable no matter what was about to pop up 😅

Really glad Elon Musk chimed in on this

@jzpitts It is way harder, 100%. Humor relies a ton on tone of voice, facial expressions, gestures, etc., and it can be very difficult to capture those things via text.

Is it just me, or is it more difficult to pull off humor in written form than it is in person or onscreen?

ALL THE TIME Seriously, I have the hardest time finding new authors to get invested in. "New" in this sense meaning either new to me or having published recently. So, who have you read and thought, "Yeah... I'm reading EVERYTHING by this person!"?

@jessica_barberi @AuthorGFAllen This is what I'm always hoping for, but uh, let's just say the results are varied 😅

@AuthorGFAllen I much prefer "I want to read EVERYTHING by them!"

Have you ever finished a book and thought, “Yeah… I’m NEVER reading anything by this person again.”

@drterrysimpson Out of curiosity, why isn't Lp(A) testing more common? Or maybe it is and I'm just unaware of it

Paul, a fasting insulin level is not a standardized or reliable clinical marker for cardiovascular risk. It has poor assay reproducibility, no universally accepted cutoff values, and major biological variability. What is validated across decades of outcomes data are ApoB, LDL-C, and non-HDL cholesterol. But that requires seeing patients and reading trials—not selling a diet brand.

Remember to leave a review after your next read kind readers 👍 Reviews can be difficult to find for authors.

John McCain was a nice respectable guy who also lost. So was John Kerry. So was Al Gore and Bob Dole. The fact that Donald Trump, a disreputable moron, was able to narrowly win two elections against unpopular Democrats doesn’t mean “disreputable moron” is the only possible option

@thomaschattwill 15 year old me would like to remind you that Bawitdaba was a banger when it dropped 😅

It’s one thing to dislike Bad Bunny, but to pretend to like Kid Rock is just outrageous. I don’t believe he has any genuine fans based on the music.
