Putting unwitting people on a book advertisement mailing list cannot be a good way to market your book.

"Transformers: The Last Knight" is an utterly unbelievable, absurdly unrealistic movie. There's a high-speed chase right through the CENTRAL LONDON congestion zone. Good luck getting above 20 mph, robots.

In case you missed it, THE REDWINTER CHRONICLES trilogy is available in its entirety in hardback, eBook and Audio on both sides of the Atlantic!

@MitchAdams2013 We recommend #TheRuinofKings by Jenn Lyons and #DaughterofRedwinter by @EdMcDonaldTFK!

Sometimes a review just gives you the best compliment you could hope for. Link to post is in Replies to avoid smothering.

@Mark__Lawrence Probably Kim Hunter's THE RED PAVILIONS duology. I read it many, many years ago and I thought it was quirky, original and fun. 120 ratings on Goodreads. goodreads.com/book/show/4077…

What's the least-rated fantasy book you've read? Rules: 1) Must be over 2 years old 2) Look it up on Goodreads and tell me the number of ratings it has. Was it good?

@FoundationDads Please offer a single piece of evidence to substantiate this claim.

The single most influential factor in a civilization's longevity and success is prenuptial chastity. If people were expected to remain virgins until marriage, the culture was more likely to have all of the markers of human flourishing. They were more likely to be an "advanced" civilization.

Oxford anthropologist J.D. Unwin studied 86 societies and civilizations to see why some collapse and others don't. What did he find? That sexual debauchery leads to the collapse of a civilization within 3 generations. (thread) 🧵

@FoundationDads The fact that in the west we are the most advanced, most technologically advanced and most sexually liberal society of all time disproves the entire thesis at its very foundation. "All signs point to collapse." No, they point to the extinction of dinosaurs and their views.

The good news: a culture can be turned around. Massive repentance can bear fruit. But based on the data, it also takes three generations for improvements to start showing up. Sexual ethics is a powerful rudder, but it is still a rudder on a huge, lumbering ship. Better start turning the wheel.
