A brief, literary nightmare nearly 3 years in the making.
"...an emotionally charged nightmare...serving as a meditation on the craft of writing...Luke Tarzian proves once again to be a rare talent."

So I may have got a little bit carried away with this review. But Fortune's Fool by Angela Boord has given me many thoughts and even more feelings, and even then I don't feel like I've done it justice. What an absolutely spectacular book and I'm ready to dive into the rest of the series.
Book Review: Fortune’s Fool (Eterean Empire #1) – Angela Boord
Summary: A bad reputation, a metal arm, and a burning need for revenge… Once played as a pawn in a deadly game of feuding Houses, Kyrra d’Aliente now makes her living in male guise as the ruthless mercenary Kyris di Nada. Yet hidden beneath her tough exterior lies a woman driven by one thing: the belief that her lost love, killed in the war he fought on her behalf, is still alive.

It’ll take time but, eventually, your books will find their audience.
Been here nearly
7 years, writing nightmarish things I’ve only recently learned might interest fans of Malazan and Dark Souls. Gained numerous comparisons to Poe, been called the modern Poe.
Check ‘em out?

So here’s the thing about Shadow Twins 3 aka the big ass finale to a multiversal story starting with the Adjacent Monsters duology.
I didn’t want to write it for ages. I wasn’t sure *how* I was going to write it. I wasn’t even sure how great an impact AM would have on it.

Listening to perhaps my most popular book, brought to life by the absolute perfect narrator, is so fucking surreal, man.

Once upon a time there was an exclusive edition of ADJACENT MONSTERS with art, formatting, and sprayed edges done by me. It wasn’t by any means perfect, but it was pretty fucking cool and I made friends with @spacemagepress.com. I believe we sold 28 numbered copies. 🫶

Maybe I’m absolutely nuts (highly probable), but one would think you’d remember the small people, as it were, who were there for you as a new author. Sometimes it seems like the popular kids can’t be fucked to be friends with people because it’s no longer convenient.
Idk. Stay humble.
