A photo of twisting tree roots, picked out with spots of red. Text reads: ““We remember warmth. We remember the centuries-ago Earth; before the curse drifted down like a quiet, poisonous snowfall. Before the sky soured. Before the light thinned to a ghost of itself.” ~ Where the Roots Remember by Crystal St. Clair FREE in the Bandits & Botany issue of Indie Bites”

The cover of Exquisite Undead: An Anthology of Vampires curated by T.L. Morgan. It shows an androgynous vampire figure holding a glass of blood, amidst an intricate background that looks like a stained glass window. There are motifs of roses and bats among the stained glass. The vampire is facing away from the viewer, with their head turned slightly over their shoulder and a slight smirk on their face.

Hello! I pronounce it Dough-mace. I used to pronounce it like Dumas, but it was pointed out that's very close to "dum-*ss* so I changed it.
I hope you enjoy Haven! There's art showing what each species and generation looks like on my website if you're interested!

If someone writes a book you really like, tell them. Leave a rating, leave a review, post about it on social media, email the author. However you do it, it really matters. Authors always appreciate it.
I hate having to do this again, you guys have no idea. But I have some bills pending that are stressing me out. Bro and I get a bit of a breather end of next month but until then if possible, I'd welcome a little help. Or, if someone needs anything translated, know of anyone who does, hmu please.

Less than £400 to go - if we can sell 15 more copies we’ll be fully funded!!
Please share widely - you never know who might like to celebrate indie fantasy with us!
I've got two flag tests in a potential relationship (i.e. their responses will determine if we go out)
1. I don't want biological children and specifically want to foster older kids
2. I will keep my last name
If they react poorly to either bits of information, we aren't going to be compatible
Just 20 more backers will get us there!
If you like fantasy, and you want to support indie authors, this special edition is like a ‘best of’ from our past 20 issues, ready to introduce you to 20 new indie fantasy authors through their short stories.
Back it here:

We’re 2/3 funded!!!
Can you help us make it to 75% today?
