Awards season is looming - or so I’m told
If you are nominating and have read my work, these are the novels/novellas that are likely eligible ☺️
Ahhh - I’m so excited it’s finally been announced!!
Enormous congratulations to our favourite queen of mythology
@shaunalawless.bsky.social!
Not only has she signed her next trilogy but also a TV adaptation!!
The big question is who can they cast that'll bring the Gormflaith energy?

Stayed up late finishing 'Daughter of the Otherworld' by @shaunalawless.bsky.social.
A great transition into a new era of the Gael Song saga.
I'm so invested in these characters' lives, it's almost painful. Once again, the end has left me hanging out for more! #booksky @headofzeus.bsky.social

High praise from Mark!

I think I’ve read more of his books than any other author - so just extra cool to hear that he’s enjoying my work
Belated (by one day) happy bookday to @shaunalawless.bsky.social - book 4 in this fine series and just as strong as the rest - can't remember when I last read 4 books in a series!
