Book review time! An Ambitious Woman and her Very Normal Pet was a refreshing take on necromancy. Not often do you read a story where the MC dies in the first chapter. 5⭐️ Full review below:

~Coming at you with another review~
The Not So Mundane Mysteries of Norman Melamourne. A fantasy murder mystery is the perfect thing to read right now. @gjterralwrites.bsky.social does a great job at atmosphere as we investigate the impossible.

Lady Drakeslayer is a 5⭐️read. It's like watching a fantasy version of a Marvel movie (but with better dialogue).

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if you haven't started reading The Divine Godsqueen Coda, you need to.

Advance (ARC) Readers Wanted

My Locks & Keys story was inspired by the wood block prints from Edo period Japan. My main character, Kel, is a stranger to this world but confronts it head on for her people.

I'm really happy with this piece and can't wait to share it with y'all. ARC signups are still open

People are getting hyped for Locks & Keys: A Fantasy Anthology. If you're not signed up for an ARC, you're missing out.

Also some of these book review locations are... unconventional lol. Looking at you @dlawsonauthor.bsky.social

Check out my review for The Pawns of Havoc. @dlawsonauthor.bsky.social really kicked it up a notch with this tightly packed origin story for Cork.
5⭐️Read this novella!

It's been a while since I've read a trad-pub book. But I just got around to reading Murderbot and I had a blast. If you've ever wanted to know what a voicey character was, Murderbot is a great example. Check out my review below:

Can you believe it? Another ARC request has been denied. Do reviewers have to be famous now too? Read all about it on this week's Porridge Report.

Check out my review for The Sunset Sovereign by Laura Huie. I highly recommend this one!

Big congratulations to @tbcart.bsky.social on winning SFINCS with Majordomo!

If you haven't checked this novella you, you absolutely need to. It's got humor, twisted D&D tropes, and a lot of heart.

It doesn't seem like a lot, but this KENP graph makes me really happy. It is clearly a single reader going through TOS at their own pace. But you see at the end, where the page count jumps. That means I did something right with my climax and glued them to the page 😁

SFINCS finalist Once We Flew by Nikky Lee was a fun mix of Sci-fi and fantasy. 5⭐️ Full review below:
