Amazing review by the wonderful @princejvstin.com for @nerdsofafeather.bsky.social!
“A strong offering from Violet Lichen that helps showcase what the press and its mission is all about. ECO24 is, in essence, a collection that is more than the sum of its parts.”

An interview with me about the forthcoming book BREATH AND BONE (out in May from Candlemark and Gleam!) on NOAF! I talk about new characters, a new world, Rosemary Sutcliff & Arthur Ransome, but mostly Hedge and Pony, whom I think you're going to love. #CoverReveal Cover art by Laura Galli.

BREATH AND BONE is a return to sword and sorcery for me, moving away from the world-shaking events of epic fantasy to the adventures of a smaller cast. The book is from @candlemarkandgleam.bsky.social & the cover, which you get your first look at in the interview, is by @lauragalliart.bsky.social

Today I get to unveil the UK cover for THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS!

The art is by the legendary Stephen Player, who has done art for Barker and Pratchett. I adore how he shows off the different personalities of Garrodigh's heads!

It comes out in the UK from @arcadiabooks.bsky.social this July!
