Here’s some graphics from the other day from positive reviews for these books. They’re indie and on top of that they’re specific ass books, which means I gotta hustle hard to get them air time, but readers have been enjoying them and that’s what matters

As a debut indie author, I’m really grateful to have found the readers I have with these two books. Would be honored to have them considered alongside 2025’s other great new releases!

It's always nice to stumble upon (a positive) review you haven't seen before. mikefinnsfiction.com/2025/08/29/m...
‘Majordomo’ (2024) by Tim Carter – an entertaining novella with a lot of heart.
Kobolds are supposed to run away—it’s what they’re best at. But Jack? Born with a club foot, he’s had to adapt. Resilient and clever, he clawed his way to respectability as majordomo of a premiere …

My poem 'The Olive Tree of Vouves' is in the latest issue of
@poetrybrum.bsky.social 🌳 You can read Issue 11.5, exploring the fragility and endurance of nature, here: poetrybirmingham.com/current-issue
Mammoth contemporary, she has been fruiting for four thousand years. Branches twist into minotaur horns, rising from a hollow labyrinth of roots. The vast trunk is bulbous, beautiful; rippled bark tenses like a muscle in the calf of a crouching titan. She is a monument, outlasting empires and human heartache, a weathered ark resisting drought and fire and flood. Every year, twigs plump like knuckles with olives, green currency, ready to anoint kings and restaurant crockery. Her crown is cornucopia, world basket, reaching upwards like Daphne’s arms, dwindling to wreaths. Her heartwood has worn away but, pulseless, she persists.
