I've gotten Mason Truman involved in another Itch bundle. This time, it's 31 books that are the start of a new adventure—all for $31. Fantasy, SciFi, and more!
That's enough to keep most of reading for the next year or two for the price of a couple of combo pizzas!

I bought the first Murderbot book by Martha Wells. I know she's since been picked up by Trad, but it counts as an indie book!

This January has been a tough month.
Why not finish on a high note and pick up an indie authors book today. You could make their month.
I picked up the delightfully-named The Anything Room by
@airbusch1.bsky.social. And that cover!
Do the same and pass it on.
Lets tell January to go fuck itself.🙌

Did I mention the outstanding review from Literary Titan for Accidental Intelligence?
"What truly sets Accidental Intelligence apart is its seamless genre fusion. Chaffin takes classic detective tropes and reinvents them in a vividly realized futuristic setting. "
