Vinay reviews James Logan's highly anticipated sequel of The Silverblood Promise, THE BLACKFIRE BLADE:
"A sequel that leans on the adventurous strength of its predecessor while not being afraid to go dark and emotional as needed"

So, the next book to read will be The Blackfire Blade by James Logan. This is book 2 in the series. I'll be reading an eARC, which I received from Netgalley. I hope that it's as good as The Silverblood Promise. And, if it is, I'll need to get a paperback copy of it. 😀 @jamesloganauthor.bsky.social

This is a beautiful novel that charts the lives and experiences of two women across past, present and future as they fight for our environment's future. Heartbreaking but ultimately - and importantly - hopeful. Also, wolves. 🐺
It lives! (Out next week but copies apparently shipping already 👀) My first UK hardback 🥰

I found that sending the manuscript to my Kindle and reading it on there really helps me spot passages that don't work, along with continuity errors and typos. I also print the first pass out (when it's typeset after the copy edit) and read it out loud. Slow and tedious, but hugely valuable.
One more day editing draft zero to turn it into draft one, aka something that's fit for an editor to read. What's your number one self-editing tip?

I'm really thrilled that Silverblood has been longlisted for @goldsborobooks.bsky.social's Glass Bell award! Such a privilege to be in the company of so many amazing writers.

Space Wolves Codex 2nd edition. I 'read' it in a silent reading English lesson and got thrown out by the supply teacher who called it - and I quote - 'perverted rubbish'. Anyway, I've had a fifteen-year editorial career publishing 'perverted rubbish' and now I write it, too. So I guess I win.

'Easy home assembly'
Quote this with your most spine-chilling three-word phrase in the English language. I bet you can't beat "replacement bus service" or "family fun day".
