Indie book review alert! This time it is for Lost Time by DL Orton. Alternate dimensions, alternate timelines, and reimagined characters while still maintaining the original storyline from book one. I love it! I can't wait to read book three. #booksky💙📚🪐

Lost Time DL Orton Book Review
The way D.L. Orton is able to continue main character storylines while twisting them into new times and dimensions is delightful. And with how Lost Time ends, readers will need more answers than they ...

Hey! If you're a short story reader, please check out the Unavowed anthology. It was published by Grim Oak Press and features a whole bunch of incredible indie authors... and somehow I snuck in amongst them.

My story is called "My Soul Has Teeth". It's weird.

Check it out!

Sunbathers by Lindz McLeod SFINCs3 Book Review
Sunbathers is for readers looking for a story that makes them uncomfortable. A story that takes the concept of erotic horror and aligns it in a chilling way to how human beings behave.

Thirteen books later, there's still that slightly terrifying moment every time I send my ARCs out, wondering what my first readers will think.

A daring heist. Ancient prophecies. Forbidden magic. Diego's story isn't just about gold, it's about survival.
Now only 99 cents or international equivalent.

a tall fierce black woman in armour, holding a big sword with a let's-fucking-go expression, standing back to back with a short white woman with flaming hands ready to do murder. a dragon silhouette in the background. a trope card on a black and fiery background displaying the cover of Favour Fire which features an erupting volcano and dragons circling the summit. White text with arrows pointing at it reads: everything’s on fire!, epic team-up, what do you mean I have to stop this volcano?!, all the dragons!, oh shit!, series finale, stronger together. #NessPromo

All of Asher's plans shatter when he gets angel wings instead of devil wings. Now the city expects his total devotion & that's the last thing they'll ever get from him.

Find your copy of ERRANT WINGS today! #BookSky
itch: earlronove.itch.io/errantwings
retailers: books.earlronove.com/errantwings
Trope map for Errant Wings by S. Jean, out now as ebook and paperback. The background is a photo of an alley street where a tree with golden autumn leaves covers the sky. In the center is Errant Wings's cover, featuring Asher with his angel wings against a blue sky as he kneels on the corner of a building, spray paint can in hand. Around the cover and pointing toward it are the tropes. They are: gay disaster punk, coming of age set in a fictional 90's, staying true to yourself, graffiti art as catharsis, angel & devil wings, relationships that need mending, punching assholes, and more fire symbolism than you thought you needed. Below the cover is where to order your copy and it is: "books.earlronove.com/errantwings"

(I once sent the books to an artist. His almost immediate response after he received them was to say he preferred Proust. 😆 )
