Celebrating its anniversary, The Bastard from Fairyland is 99p.
Be warned, not only a grimdark tale it's a severely 'woke' story. Its 3 heroes battle homophobia, racism and misogyny.
"A unique and fresh modern take on a genre that sorely needs more books like this."

Is that what they were doing in the French Revolution? Wow! Never knew that.

Interesting fact in my authoring journey.

In the last 4 years I've sold more than 20 books in Germany - which, as they're not translated (i.e. still in English), rather surprises me.

Thank you Germany!!

🤣🤣🤣

Hello everyone. I'm Mark.

I write fantasy (YA/NA/A). My first book, 'Quin of Light,' is about five siblings, each with the power over an element but cursed to only be killed by each other. I am working on Book 2 as well as another new project 😎. .

You amateur!!!

Hey, we're writers! Communicating is what we do! 😇

This amazing book bundle offer is still available, so if you haven't snapped up this veritable book bounty, here's your chance: t.co/KaApAhFKmH

What if you call the Speaking Clock and ask them?

Fair enough. I agree about the cost factor. But it's more about the artists whose livelihoods are affected by such high profile comments that I object to.

One difference.
Frasier Crane is a fictional character from a comedy series, he's not real.
Chalamet's ignorance is very real.

I hope you're right.
I hope your theory of Time is too. It puts me in my early fifties! 😁

I'm not getting my hopes up! Fillion has been teasing stuff for some time now!
Plus, the cast are older. I don't want to imagine Mal Reynolds with a zimmer frame rather than a gun.
Just being realistic.
But one can hope...

Hi Erin, there's a huge range! Gaslamp mysteries, a couple of grimdark stories, there's snarky detectives, an hilarious dimension hopping romp, alternative realities - all with a murder investigation at its core.
If you go to the website, there's more details and snippets.
Enjoy!

I am not over the hill. OK? I'm not!

I don't even remember climbing to the top of it.

Age verification?

When I was a kid, none of the houses in my street had TVs or telephones. Heating was the coal fire in the living room.

The weekend after next is the @spotlightindie.bsky.social Big Weekend! Lots of author panels!

I'm on their 'Writing Better Beginnings' panel 1pm UK time, Friday 20th Feb.

To whet your appetite, here's one of my 60 second guides with some wonderful opening lines.

Happy birthday Joel!
Remember, with age comes wisdom. That's the payoff.

Which means I must be truly wisdomous.

WE might hope @alcs.co.uk start protecting & recognising the rights of #indieauthors who it currently ignores - despite regular pleas.
The publishing industry has moved on - ALCS needs to move with it.
