How much is entry to Spotlight Indie Live - a day of author talks, panels, advice, book signings, entertainment and an awesome indie merch market - you ask? That would be £0. That's right. Zilch. Nothing. ZERO POUNDS. 23rd May. See you there! #shrewsburyevents #authorevent #writingevent #booklovers

I’d have gone Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, but I think that’s probably only 3

An image of an audiobook cover. The scene is of a ship deck with the title The Curse of Dragon Tail Island. There is a captain in a white cotton shirt and tricorn hat, holding a cutlass. Next to him is a large half orc with green skin holding rum barrels. There is also a dwarf and a mage who holds a magic staff. The backdrop is a blue sky and clouds with ropes and pulleys.

The audiobook for THE CURSE OF DRAGON TAIL ISLAND is halfway there.

I'm super pumped for this to get out there. The narrator is killing it, esp. the piratey pirateness! 🏴‍☠️🦜⚓🏝️

Now I feel bad. Others think it’s a great book, it just wasn’t for me

There’s a reason these particular books were going to the charity shop…

Put the bin out a day early by mistake and now the whole street is in chaos. All the neighbours think they’ve missed an email. There are blue bins and black bins and I’m telling you it’s a red bin day tomorrow. I’ve never felt so alive

But there was so much excellent writing, plot development and emotional heft in the slender volume that is High Castle that a team of highly paid writers managed to turn it into a 4-season TV spectacle…oh wait

A flat color audiobook cover with a scene of a Scottish loch with blue water and a orange whirlpool. In the distance are redish mountains and some forest, with an orange set of layered skies. The title reads THIRD LOCH FROM THE SUN: A SCOTTISH SCI-FI ADVENTURE by Rex Burke.

Finished @rexburke.bsky.social THIRD LOCH FROM THE SUN on audio. Another winner!

Light, accessible, and at times hilarious, Third Loch is an entertaining sci-fi yarn that takes unexpected twists & turns in the tale of a tiny community’s big otherwordly problems.

Daros hits 500 ratings on Amazon! My second book to do so. Big thanks to everybody who's spent time with Brecca, Frim, and Lyra and their adventures.

Clearing shelf space, taking books to the charity shop. Someone is going to bag a great #SciFi haul in the North Yorkshire area #Booksky

Fancy an award-winning first-in-series novel for the bargain price of 99c/99p?

'Battle Ground' is a friendship-based found-family survival story with two strong female leads.

Go on, #booksky, treat yourself!

It's been a minute since I pointed out what an all-time bargain this series is right now. You can grab the whole series for the price of one book, or just - you know - see if you like it for 0.99.

btw, I have been assured by many happy readers that you will like it
