Day 2 of the Narratess sale is well underway. I often think SciFi gets a bit overlooked in these events which tend to be quite fantasy heavy. But there are some great SF books to choose from over at indiebook.sale including The Arid Lands if you like a future set conspiracy 😎

The based book sale is now live with loads of books either free or 99p/99c and The Arid Lands is one of them.
There are a fair number of books in the sale which I’ve read and reviewed so I’ll be giving them a shout out over the next couple of days.

The Arid Lands
A dried up ocean basin. A people struggling to survive. Inez knows no other world.
Until….
Stowing away on a strange craft she comes to a city. But there are others from the Arid Lands here - and they have a plan!
Can one girl hold back the flood?

Permafrost will be out in May and is probably best described as being post apocalyptic CliFi.
“The key to the future is a book from the past”
I will shortly be putting out a call for ARC reader signups.
In the meantime here is the cover

Last chance to get your votes in at the Indie Ink Awards. There’s some stiff competition and I doubt The Arid Lands will make the next round. But any love you wish to give it will be much appreciated
