Thanks to a BookBub deal, Whispers of Ruin is #1 on the Epic Fantasy charts for free books and #28 overall on the Kindle store! If you missed picking it up before, you can nab it at no cost for a little while longer! #fantasy #epicfantasy #dragon

The launch week for *The Sunrise Dagger* was a beautiful whirlwind... Now, the best part of an epic fantasy launch: the cake! 🍰 Writing is a lonely career, but my family, readers, & bookstagrammers make it magical. Thank you! 🩵

Over on inst@ the Locked Library are giving away two signed copies of their edition!

Ready for my first book/fantasy event Novio Magica.

While we LOVE getting new review requests, we are getting inundated with requests to review books that are written with or by - or have covers created using - AI. We have a clearly written policy on our site but it's apparent most don't read it. SO, NEW REVIEW REQUEST SUB PAGE!

Many illustrations for @VaatiVidya 's video thumbnails I've done in the last years.

@JoeBerne1 Perfect time to play a Bee Gees song.

My wife (a physician) is taking a CPR test in the next room. She's basically rescuing a dummy. She had to give me careful instructions that she was going to call for help and frantically ask "are you okay?" (to the dummy) but I can't go in there or interfere. It's weird.

Out of 700+ indie games in the GameDevTV Fund, Lost & Found made the Top 14! They said it gave them that “I’ve never seen this before” feeling. Check out Lost & Found + The other games chosen here: youtube.com/watch?v=qCekV4… #indiegame #gamingcommunity

@autumn_inkblood @Lyons_Pen I’ve seen a 4* review that spills everything, plot twist and all, leaving only how it ends.😢

@Lyons_Pen Agreed. Most Goodread reviews irk me, as they're heavy on plot synopsis and light on analysis and takeaways. It's usually the misspelled, brief reviews that convince me one way or another to buy a book.

Just a reminder that not every review has to be an essay, like does it feel good when someone writes a long review, yes. Of course. But it also feels good to just get “loved it” or “don’t quit your day job!” We’re writing the books, but the reviews don’t have to be books.

@autumn_inkblood It was. Made such a unique book.

@JonKaroll Nice! Also a great choice for a midpoint.

Controversial writing advice of the day: Put your biggest reveal in the middle of the book.

@GeeksGamersCom I think its too late and such a bad look. I feel they can kinda save this but remaking Episode IX instead of this dramatic shift.

RUMOR: Disney to Remove Star Wars Sequel Trilogy From Timeline to Resume Focus on Original Characters "If true, this would be one of the most dramatic franchise shifts in modern Hollywood history."

@ZB_Steele Congratulations!🤘

Wife and I are going into labor! See yall on the other side!

@boycereads As much as I love Name of the Wind, you can hold that back for a bit longer. At least until Book 3.

I want to read a classic this month, which should it be?

@jzpitts Budget. Also film gotta make sure it’s entertaining to watch.

Am I missing something? Why do so many magic battles in movies feel so…lacking? I know there’s a handful of decent ones out there, but for the rest, it just feels like more could’ve been done to make it distinctive and cool. Many books don’t seem to struggle with this issue.

@amsunshine_ Yooo, huge W. Congrats!

I can’t believe I’ve saying this but I finished the edits for my debut novel???????? I’m going to be a published author this year🤯

We only have 3 hours to go, everyone! If you want to support our book Deathless, this is your last chance!! 🔗👇

@IKStokbaek It is a lovely cover. The colors are stunning.

If anyone else mistakenly believes the cover for my #SPFBOXI entry, Moonward Chain, is AI generated, I’m just going to put this here. Next time, do a reverse image search instead of using AI.

@ZombiesAteMyBr1 @COREYHAIMz @Variety I am hoping it is in the end credits

@COREYHAIMz @Variety I go into everything with an open mind but after seeing the first trailer and now hearing this, Burn may be the first Evil Dead movie I want to torch. Stick 10 minutes of complete darkness after the end credits and/or up your ass Sebastien! 😂

EVIL DEAD BURN director Sébastien Vanicek told @Variety, “there’s 10 full minutes in the movie where it’s complete darkness and all you hear is the chaos going on. Audiences have to imagine what’s happening, and that’s terrifying.”

@Zepp1978 My wife, kid, in-laws, and my grandmother are all enjoying it but me. This includes Max.😂

Boy, if this isn't the truth. I rarely use it anymore but my wife still won't let me cancel it.
